Speaker Hole Repair

Hello,

Is it best to find a donor door to cut the inside lower piece out to repair "fill-in" where someone cut out for speakers? If so, can someone suggest a place to find a lower inside door panel for a 66 door?

Thank you.

Dan

There's been a couple times in the past where someone posted in the classifieds that had some crap doors that he could cut that area out of.
You can actually get two patch panels per door. (front and rear )
I bought 4, and someone else bought some.

Thank you.

I will get some pics tonight and share. They basically messed up the raised or formed portions of the lower panel.

Thank you.
