Hi Bill,
All the best with the new door.I don't think you will have any problems.Color match is a concern.Look at it in sunlite.

Just got an e-mail from the body shop and said the car is painted, But the heat is slowing the drying process, He will call me mid morning.
I thought heat was good to dry paint?
99 here today, Very hot for this time of year and no Vette to drive....lol

Good luck with the repair Mr Bill.
I should have mine back either tomorrow or next week.
The dog hit repairs are almost done, but they had to repull the front bumper on my car as the paint didn't match right and they are going to repaint it again.

I haven't driven the car since August 20th when I hit the dog.
