The entire door shells were stripped of components and acid dipped.
Yes, the inner door panels were cut out from the top of kick panel to the bottom of the top finish panel, with the exception of the inner door release mounting area. The window regulators assemblies, glass, and lock mechanisms were removed. The stock glass was replaced with Dow Corning "thin glass" and straps.& snaps.
To date I have performed this procedure on two cars successfully (minus the acid dipping and thin glass) and my 3rd car has the doors cut, regulators and the glass removed.
I hope this helps.
