Hi, Russ, got this and your next email.  A whole door would be easiest to deal with if you have one in good shape.  Don’t care about the paint as I will strip it to bare metal, but the idea is to give the body guy something he doesn’t need to spend much time on - no rust and very minimal fill/smoothing work.  
The other parts are intriguing - most of us collect parts for “when we might need them”, right?  The car’s quarter panel was heavily altered with a steel flare back in the day, and most of the damage is to the flare, which intrudes well up the factory body panel.  However, I might need one someday!

If you have a good LH door, would you be willing to drop it at a UPS store - I’ll pay for shipping, of course.  What do you have in mind, price-wise, for the door, and for the other stuff (which I would pick up at another time).

What I’m really interested in that’s in your garages is that e-type  . . .

I had someone spin into my car at Millville a few weekends ago and need a new driver’s side door.  It’s an earlier one - not the later recessed door handle.  My spare door has been hit before and has more putty on it than is worth dealing with.  Does anyone have a clean, straight rust free door, and are you willing to take it to UPS for shipment? Or if it’s within a reasonable drive I’ll pick it up.
 
I can get good later doors MkIII)  but would rather not mess with filling the handle opening and cutting in the old style one.
 
Thx,
