Does anybody know enough about metal replacement to be able to guess how much it would cost to fix this pan?
I was probably mistaken, but somehow I thought that there were some replicas produced that did not have frames and the doors would open or close when lifted by a jack.

Todd. Did you mean would NOT open or close in your post above?

The old Vintage Speedsters website used to mention the "jack test" when advertising the fact that their body's had an integrated box steel frame. The test suggested that jacking up a Vintage Speedster under one wheel would not cause their body to flex like it would on some other Speedsters. I don't know if that was just advertising hyperbole or if there really were Speedsters that didn't have an integrated frame. The jack test comments are no longer on the new Vintage Speedsters website, but I have seen it mentioned very recently in an eBay sale.

Is that possibly what you saw?
