Is there an aftermarket Roadster/Roadster Pickup Doors that are high quality exact or very close to exact copy of the Original Ford Stampings???
My drivers side door has a lot of repairs done to it and is flexible twisting. It has 4 bullet holes (It was once a long forgotten Target deep in the Mojave desert 50+ years ago) plus I can see a lot of filler was used at one time. I see reproduction doors around $600.00 each. When considering how much damage/time needed to pay someone else to fix Correctly. $600.00 doesn't seem bad as long as they are CORRECT Copies of the Originals.

Everyone will have a differing opinion but on a scale of 1-10, they are probably an 8½ or 9 from my experience. They are not close enough to pass for Fine-point judging, but many Restorers use them on AACA judged vehicles without deduction. Therefore I suppose it boils down to how close 'exact' means to you.

I'm building a stock 28 roadster using a Brookville body. The whole body looks really good but I wouldn't what to look for re. originality. It's going to be a really nice driver.
