The Haynes Spridget Restoration Manual, I think I got
mine through Amazon.com for something like $19.95, has
some good pictures and advice on reskinning a door.
Several pages are dedicated to the process. I'd highly
recommend this book to anyone starting a rebuild. More
than 50% of the book is devoted to frame and body
restoration, welding in new parts and peices,
fabricating small bits and pieces, etc. Good sections
on disassembly and interesting info on new heritage
body shells. This book is several hundred pages of
useful info and pictures. A worthwhile investment that
I made before I purchased Bugsy so I could see if I
was capable of really doing what I imagined what I was
going to be doing to get Bugsy back on the road. A
copy of this purchased in advance would mean less
abandoned restorations in boxes and more Spridgets on
the road.
