From what I understand
From what I understand
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.

Thanks, sscuda.
What about the hinges. Anything done to them?
To my recollection nothing was done to the hinges intentionally. Sometimes the detent was removed but it wasn't considered a modification.
I just rebuild mine as needed. Dornan supplies the pins and bushings.

Ok, thanks.
Do you know of anyone who have done the door dipping job? And it turned out good, I might add...
