I am doing my first door skin on a '78 Trans Am. I have the old one off and the door is getting sandblasted. In the meantime, I have a few questions.
1. What do you use for sealing the new skin? Seam sealer or...?
2. Do you apply it before you fold the skin over?
3. What do you use for the "foam" that is spotted between the brace and outer skin?
My friend recently bought a auto body tool company that makes door skin folding tools. He is giving me one free and wants to come by to see how it's used and if there is any improvements that could be made. Supposedly it takes the same amount of time, but has a nicer finish than hammered edges. His words were "...be honest, it's not my design!". In the tools instructions, it mentions using a caulk when folding the skin over to help keep the rattle sounds down when the door is shut. Would like to know what others do on their skins.
