Default rust hole

ok hi again guys seems like i'm always on here asking questions

i have a 2000 ram 1500 truck quad cab my rear passenger door is completely rusted out at the bottom and underneath the door i need to get inspected i thought i would try some gorilla duct tape i don't think that would pass I'll have pics
but anyways any one know what i can use to patch the hole i do not have access to a welder nor do i know anyone with one so i'm needing a patch without weld please
i bought the fiberglass repair kit but AutoZone said it won't work i know i need to buy the inner and outer door skins but again they have to be welded

Probably be easier, and maybe even cheaper, to simply replace the doors.....

Here in PA the law states can't have any sharp edges. Ice seen duct tape painted, socks they get Bondo over them. If you were closer I have two doors I would sell you

Hhhhmmm. Tried search on car-part, and came up with nothing...... That's just bizarre. Might check and see if there are any 'southern truck parts' dealers in your neck of the woods. There are a few around me that get rust free arizona body parts. Not inexpensive though.....
