I've got a stack of doors in the shed, more than I'll ever use. Price would range from $125 to $250 each plus shipping, depending on their condition and if they have internal parts/glass or not. Most have little if any rust. Here's a list of the ones I know I have, there may be multiples of some years/models

Then I've also got the 1966-67 Toro doors and 1955 Olds 88 4 door post.


Due to my work schedule I do most of the hobby stuff on weekends. So it may take a little while to get back to you with pictures.

Where are you? If shipping isn't a killer, I am interested in the 1964 2 door hardtop doors. Thanks!

Hello Doc
I'm located in Medford Oregon. That's in the SW part of the state, about 30 miles from the California border along Interstate 5.

John - Sent a PM to start working a sale. Thanks!

I'm pulling some doors for docsteen to consider. Anybody else needing a single or set of doors?

John - The doors arrived in Dallas early this week, brought them home yesterday, and unpacked them this morning. My-oh-my! I am happy as a pig in doo-dah! They are pretty darn dandy. They are very solid, and will not require any major surgery, just some dinging and bumping. The packing also was great! This will make a big difference in the final quality and steel integrity of the car. Thank you ever so much!

Guys, if'n you are looking for solid parts, at fair prices, from a great guy, take John up on his offerings. Doin' my little happy dance here in Texas!

Thanks!,

Doc, thank you for being patient with me when work got busy. I'm glad they arrived OK and that they'll help you with your project! John

But I'm not finding photos of your car. Can you create a new thread and share them with us? John

Doc, I just read through your introduction posts and really enjoyed the stories. I look forward to watching your restoration progress. John

John -

I've taken a ton of pictures, but haven't been quite ready to start posting yet. My assistant gets back from vacation next week. Once she gets caught up I guess she can start uploading pics. Since the Newbie post all of the "bucket" cutting, welding, and grinding are done. That's right, all the really rough sparks, noise, sharp edges, and rust is history. From the tail panel forward, quarter panels, trunk floor, cabin floor, the "A" pillars, rocker panels, the dash, and the cowl, the car is now all solid steel.

The body has been off the frame a couple of times. So the frame is about 75% right, meaning de-rusted and painted, with basically functional steering, body mounts, shocks, and my rebuilt rear from 25 years ago. The frame and bucket actually went to a friend's shop on Saturday for a little banging and storage, while I can clean my truly funky garage again before going to the next stages (repair and fit the core support, fender wells, fenders, your doors, hood, like that). Once the big pieces are fitted, the bucket and big parts will go to Metal Rehab in Fort Worth. They will strip and de-rust it in a huge tank, power clean, and prime it all with DP40. Then it will come home looking almost like a car again.

I will see about getting some progress pics uploaded in the next few weeks and will let you know.

Yours,

docsteen

I have used fastenal to ship doors and it works out well each time. Bimart has crates now and then that can be easily modified to carry two doors.

Do you have any 72 Convertible doors with no rust? Fastenal would be a good shipping option for me. PM me pics if you have some.

2blu442

Larry, thanks for the tip! I've shipped quarter panels on pallets but not checked for something like doors. Do you package them in cardboard or strap to a pallet?

Gary, I may have some hardtop doors that you could swap the internal parts into, but nothing specifically made for a 1970-72 convertible. Let me know if that would work for you.

John,

They keep getting a crate that is about half a pallet size and it has sides that are about 3 fee tall. It is perfect for some doors. I just zip tie them in against the inside panel of the door and label and they go. Fastenal treats stuff so great there is never an issue. A heads up; Fastenal has raised their rates so make sure you get a quote from them prior to quoting it. If I ship more than one door, then I just take a pallet and make a 2 x 4 frame about 4 feet high and use one to criss cross the pallet and strap them to the cross brace just the same. Works well. Never had a issue. Typically about $150-$200 to ship a loaded crate.

I have one of the 70-72 doors. I believe they are the same other than the plate that they rub agains then opening. That can be transfered with two screws. But John would be my first attempt at a door. This is his thread and he is up from and fair priced.

How much for a set of the 70-72 Vista Cruiser Doors?

$125 each door plus shipping. That's complete with the glass and window regulators, rails, etc. John
