                    if the outer panel of the door is rusted out and not the actual inner or structure of the door, you could always put a door skin on it. it really isn't that hard to do. you can put the patch panel on the rocker where it is rusted and or smashed after you cut the bad stuff out. just weld it in, grind the welds flush and re-coat it with rocker shutz (stone guard) then repaint it, no one will ever see the difference.

                      its not the welding or repair of the rust that bothers me its the blending of the silver, its a very very hard color to blend in with old paint, im hoping mine wont be to bad as the car was recently resprayed by the PO. I just hope the paint shop mixed the paint correctly....

                      Idk if some one said it somthing about it earlier but my car is swapped, just a boring NV m50. Im eventually doing a 3.0 m50 stroker but the 5 lug is first....well second to fixing the holes in the body.

                        That is why i prefer to paint the whole car. I think that blending is just too complicated. Not every one knows how to correctly blend the paint on a car. So you send a car to the shop cause you just want to paint the door, but when you pick up the car it doesnt match or shine like the rest.

                          Surprisingly they're pretty close. I put it on my old convertible when i took the front bumper off to close up some of the holes in the valence to see what it would look like and it matched the paint pretty well. I thought that was pretty funny.
