Default Need help locating a part

I need to find a door that will fit a 74 t top I have been calling the salvage yards and no one has anything within a 10 hour radius. Need help locating other places for parts. My current door is fine other than the fact there is some rust between the inside or of metal and the skin. In order to sand the rust down I need to remove the skin. Does anyone know a place I could look around Virginia for a new door or have any ideas on my problem. A guy I know recommended i spray it with ospho since you can't see it. I am a bit knew to this.

Why a 10 hour radius?? Find a salvage yard with a good door and have them motor freight it to you. Rust free? Try J&D Corvette in Bellflower, Ca. They have a big salvage yard and they ship out a lot of stuff every day, noticeably to overseas customers.
