I am needing a pair of clean doors for my 74 Challenger. I came across www.dynacorn.com. They have the door shell. Since trusty AMD has not released one yet I was wondering if anyone has seen/used/heard about these doors.

I've been searching out the Dynacorn doors since early December 2010. They have been in the California warehouse since Nov. 24th (or so). They had something like 2 dozen sets; and sold none by the end of December.
They told me I needed a dealer to get a set. So I called the dealer they told me about. Some guy on a cell phone answers. He sounds lost, I gave him the info, he never called me back.
In early January, the Canadian distributor got 5 sets in. I have been pestering him for a month. He was going to send the doors out to his big mopar clients. He finally said I could have a set. His speacial price to me would have been over $1400.
I found pictures of the SEMA Dynacorn Challenger body online from a Canadian who went to sema. I think the guy was from a shop in Manitoba. The comments of poor fit, poor welding on the prototype car, and my body guy, made me look for good used.
I know protoype stuff can be rough, but it should not be at SEMA, and it was, judging by the pictures I saw. There were no good pictures of the doors open.
No one from Dynacorn (Toronto area, PA, or LA) would send me pictures of the door, let alone open up a box and look at them for me.
I can always buy them later, at better price if they prove to be worth while.
Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen!
Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!

Have you looked for used? Doors seem to be the one E-body part that is super easy to find in good shape.

really? have you looked lately?? that was not the experiance i had...
3 years ago i looked at over 20 doors at carlisle and put everyone of them back down and walked... the only one in condition good enough to even consider was nos and 450 bucks.. i saw stuff with rust holes thru it for 350!
2 years ago i did the same thing,oh i did see one that made me think still had some swelling in the seem for 350 bucks
it took me OVER 3 YEARS before i found a reasonable priced set of doors in good shape. i paid 125 for the pair and i probably would of been willing to pay 5 times that
i doubt it is getting any easier with time..
