tony, that one is the very bottom section, her bumper distroyed the two lower most panels they use 1/4" masonite to fill the frame, just that one nice new piece of clear pine you see running across the top cost $127.82, i had to hand modify a router bit to get the correct profile so the rails and styles would fit perfectly, most of these companys have differing cutting heads and some even patent thier design. wave

Anthony;
Looks like an older panel... that entire door must be quite heavy.
