Cutlass door skin on a chevelle door?

My doors are very rusty on my 71 Cutlass convertible. Can I buy a cutlass door sking and install it on another A-body door? I was thinking of taking a skylark door or chevelle door and installing a cutlass door skin. or...where can I get decent used doors at a reasonable price?

Look in Hemmings - many S/W yards still have them, if you can't find one here in the 'parts for sale' thread!

Please post your location with a parts wanted ad. There are several member here with parts for sale, but things as large as door can be spendy to ship.

The leading and trailing edges of the inner door (where the door hinges and latch mechanism mount) are shaped differently for different body feature lines. Unless you plan to cut those areas off your old inner doors and weld them to the Chevelle doors, the skins won't fit.
