These are testing R&D samples. Gbodyparts has the doors available and should have the hoods in a couple weeks

DID YOU TEST FIT THE DOORS PRIOR TO PAINTING? THEY LOOK GREAT! IT'S REALLY NICE TO SEE THESE PARTS COMING AVAILABLE.. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS TO GET A SET OF THESE TO TEST FIT. HE PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR,I NEVER GOT TO CHECK THE NEW DOORS OUT.. IT APPEARS BRIAN IS DOING HIS HOMEWORK ON THESE. KEEP THE PHOTOS COMING..

This is the 3rd set that I have installed or used new aftermarket skins. I hate to sound conceited but since these doors are new and brand new tooling there is no variance at all. They really do fit well without even putting them to see if they fit right. Normally after the tool runs a few thousand times there may be some variances to be expected. The secret to getting a perfect piece is to get the products when they first hit the market.

I am restoring my 86 GN and need doors. Wondering where you got your aftermarket door shells and how good they were?

Anyone selling doors for our cars are goodmark. They are all the same and come from the same factory. So, pick your best supplier you want to deal with. As for where I got mine???? From Taiwan, they are the original test samples. They are still on my cars after a couple years now and no issues at all. You will be pleased. Pay for truck shipment, or try to pick them up to keep damages to a min, they are heavy large SOB's

Thank you for your reply. I was fortunate enough to find two excellent used doors less than an hour from my house through TTAOWNER on this forum.

Ordered a set right after they were released. 3 sets before I got a set that wasn't damaged too bad for me to repair. My Goodmark dealer was ready to pull the plug and refund my money. We ended up agreeing on a discounted price for the first set that came in. Both corners on both doors were bent in. A little time with a hammer and dolly and they test fit perfectly. Excellent quality for a repop. Much better than the doors I used for my Camaro. Toby said the sooner you get them the better the quality. Been strapped to the wall in the garage for a year now and looking forward to re-shoot the entire car next year.

yes, the earlier you get them the better the quality as with any tool it wears over time. I think the tool has punched 500 times, so it will be another 2000 more times before any variances can be measured.
