In this video, we install a new set of doorskins on our 1965 Chevelle.   These new, rust-free, arrow-straight skins came from OPGI, and when installed properly, are a quick and relatively easy way to renew an old set of doors.   We prepped our inner structure by treating it to a complete sandblasting and a bath in PPG DP90 epoxy primer.   We then did a little work to the skin to get it ready, then we used a 3M Automix doorskin adhesive to bond the skin to the inner structure.   The trickiest part is working the new doorskin over the inner structure, but we used a cool tool from Dent Fix to power the flange over smoothly and quickly.
