    Guys, I need to know the door opening measurement to put a new rocker panel in place. The shell I have is completely without metal where the original was - mother earth reclaimed everything from the bottom up about 5 inches and the doors are also just skins (lotsa work ahead there, too). Any help would be appreciated.

    and the wood is gone too? Remember there was a 2" X 4" (or there abouts) hardwood piece that tied all of it together. The rocker was nailed to the wood (might have been screwed to it) and spotted to the jamb which was nailed to the rear jam wood.....

    Yes, all wood is gone - doors are just skins. Hope to do a steel replacement.
