Aftermarket door damage
 

I know how everyone feels about aftermarket doors but I couldn’t pass these up, got them both for less then what it would cost to ship one.
Now for the bad, they were both damaged in shipping on the bottom edge. I’m not great with body work so I’m wondering what the best way to go about repairing them is. The bottom corners are folded in on both doors

Go to harbor freight and get you their hammer and dolly set. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on a set unless you’re going to make a career out of it. It’s not difficult work just do your best to get them back to contour. You’ll then have to clean up any remaining damage from beating on them with some body filler.

Recommend getting on YouTube and watching the hammer and dolly process if you’ve never done it.

Every aftermarket piece I’ve purchased has had damage on it. Just expect to hammer on it them everytime.

Exactly as in post 2.
You want to massage the metal, not beat on it. Read a bit about how it shrinks and stretches as it gets bent and understand.
That said, the trouble in the pic is minor. The high spot is stretched.

Thanks guys, I’ll do some research on hammer and dolly work. I can see why they got bent they are no where near as thick as the original doors.
