Just a dent? Consider yourself lucky....

A competent bodyman can pop most dents and do the repair without skinning the door provided there's not rust involved.

i wouldnt re-skin it if it was that bad id just replace it (junkyard doors are prettye asy to vett as good or bad) but as stated someone good at body work should be able to pop the dent back out

my suggestion would be to find a junkyard door, have it painted professionally and install it in place, you could also check LMC truck to see if they have any

also that dent may be deep enough to get in the way of the window functioning properly (rolling down that is)

Well with it being about 16 degrees outside right now, I'm not rolling it down too much...
Thanks for all the replies tho....
