A skin also usually does not include any part of the sail panel, does
not include the area between the beltline and the trunk opening, and
sometimes does not include the doorjamb or even go all the way up to
the beltline. The 1970 skins only go up to the body line above the
wheel. When you install skins, you are creating seams where there
weren't any originally, so the require more welding and grinding. Some
people argue that the extra time and talent that it takes to install a
skin is more costly than the difference in price.
Quoting Mike Holleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Roger, A skin is just a part of a panel. It is made to replace metal,
not cover it. You will either flange it in or butt weld it.

Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Panels vs. Skins
I need to put some quarter panels on my Chevelle and
wondered about skins vs. panels. Do skins just get
welded over the body?
