Hey Guys,
What is the easiest method of removing the door skins on a 69 Camaro?

Use A Grinder With 60 Grit 0r A Smooth Grinding Wheel And Grind The Sharp Edge All The Way Around The Door Where It Is Folded Around The Inner Door Jamb. Then Use A Spot Weld Drill Bit And Drill Out All The Spot Welds Where The Door Skin Was Spot Welded. Very Clean And Easy.

I was considering doing the same thing to my 69. Would you have some photos that you can post of that procedure?

Thanks

I just recently swaped the door skin on my 68 RS project. The passenger side door had bondo almost an inch thick in places. I ordered a Goodmark skin and just kind of went at it......

Here I was checking the placement of the skin to make sure I wasn't to far off

I had to do some body work on the front side as I got a little carried away with the hammer and dolly when installling it. :o

And back on the car. I had problems with the door gap from the center body line up to the top of the door. The gap below the body line looked really good, from half way up it just kept getting tighter and tighter untill it touched. I finally just got discusted and broke out the grinder and took off about 3/16 off the edge in places and then had to weld the two haves back together.:( In these pics i just welded back and ground the edge again so it will need a tiny bit of mud to smoth out the edge.
