1963 Door Skin Question

[Harry S.]

I came across an NOS 63 door skin. It is not gray but a yellowish white. I had a few folks agree that it is an NOS piece. Here is the question.

On the very early 63 door skins did they come out of the mold with or without the holes for the handle, lock and mirror. This skin has no holes for those three items.

I've seen NOS gray skins with the holes.

Puzzled minds want to know.

Thanks

One other thing 63 door skins can be used on coupe or convertible because of the seam on the cp door.

The reason for the different configurations of the outer door panel is probably because of the several different part numbers over the years. Here's the sordid detail regarding the 1963 OUTER door panels:

convertible:

LH---GM #3797013>1/64> GM #3839809>3/65>GM #3854677>10/67> GM #3903557>discontinued 6/84

RH---GM #3797014>3/65> GM #3854678>7/67> GM #3903558> discontinued 10/79

coupe:

LH, UPPER---GM #3797042>3/65> GM #3840779> discontinued 7/69

LH, LOWER---GM #3797045>3/64> GM #3839811>discontinued 5/72

RH, UPPER---GM #3797048>3/65> GM #3840780>discontinued 7/69

RH, LOWER---GM #3797046>discontinued 3/71
