Hopefully they'll line-up much better than those that Franci sells.

Mika-I'll buy a pair of runningboards and 1 door bottom when you are ready.
I'm very happy your bottoms have the sharp corners of earliest ribbed doors.

I almost repaired a '49 door with the bottom from a 53 donor-door, but noticed its corners were rounder than the splits. I will wait for you

Some progress here, more accurate dimensions, more details. Also with outer repair panel section.

The next step to make hinge support parts and window regulator support piece. Then repair couple of split doors to verify dimensions and make possible changes.

Amazing. Would the contour of the corners be correct for a '55 oval? I need those bad. I like that your making correct replacement inner/outter skin sets as well. Whats the prices going to be?

These are perfect!!

When are they going to be available, and what is the price?

Also, are any of the other split sheet metal parts you have listed online ready to buy? I'm interested in the rear body mounts that also have the inner fender well section attached for my 50 standard split.

Thanks!

The complete set for inner and outer section plus those support pieces will be 120 euro per side.

And yes, the rear brackets are available already now.

Great! Please just keep us updated when we can order the door repair pieces, and I'll put in a a single order for a driver's side door set, plus the rear support pieces.

Thanks!
