Re: [Chevelle-List] Coil Spring Recommendations, Door Skin Removal
Dave, It's impossible to remove door skins & then replace the same skins as they are welded on and could not be removed without inflecting major damage to them. If you only have small dents & dings remove the door panels & window regulator & glass, them repair the damage.

Re: [Chevelle-List] Coil Spring Recommendations, Door Skin Removal
Dave, The BB.SW,Air is the highest spring rate on stock springs. Kind of give a Chevelle the gasser look ( un cut)! I have cut springs in the past with limmited success. to get it to sit where I wanted , the spring weight left to much travel and the long tube headers would hit over med bumps. There are two type of aftermarket srings. the higher spring rate and tighter turns per inch and the variable rate springs. Theses springs turns per in. are close on one end and wider on the other. I think ( ASSUME) these are the ones OPG sells ? I opted for Hotchkis on my 65. And what a difference over the cut SW/AIR/BB springs. With a fast ratio box,poly bushings, 1 1/8 sawy bar and disk up front. It's not your grandmothers Chevelle anymore. As for your doorskins. I am sorry to tell you, but you destroy the door skin removing them. You have to grinding off the edges that are folded over the inside door shell/frame. If you need acces to hammer/dolly your dent remove the glass. Or get a pannel puller. the screw in ones are cheap but reguire a welder to re weld the holes.

[Chevelle-List] Coil Spring Recommendations, Door Skin Removal
Hey! I'm looking for a pair of front coils for a 67, with a slightly stiffer-than-stock rate. I currently have a pair that are originally intended for a big block with air and auto - what I thought would be the highest stock rate. Anyhow, I'd like to move up a little in spring rate. Can anyone recommend one aftermarket manufacturer over another? Dropped coils are okay as well, because I'd be cutting stock height ones. As well, is there an easy way to remove and replace door skins? I have some dents and dings that would be easy to pound out, if I could get just the outer skin off the doorframe and have some simple way to re-attach it.
