replace doors or fix current ones?

[65notch]

i have a 65 coupe that im about to repaint again, but the corners of my doors are rusting out pretty bad. is it best do replace the entire door or try to weld in a new piece of sheet metal? what do you guys suggest?

how hard is it to replace just the entire skin?

is the shell of the door solid? if so, i would patch what you have... you will have more time, not to mention money, making repop doors fit than you will repairing what you have. same thing with skins... most times repop skins just arent as sharp in the bodyline department as were the factory doors (this is providing you dont have holes you can throw a small animal through!)
