well that went well... dope, dope, dope!

I was backing my truck into my garage to put my new mudflaps on today with the door open. Looking over my shoulder I forgot about the door and backed into the wall of the garage ruining my door and the trim around the garage door. DOH!!! The drivers door is ruined and needs to be replaced, the passenger door needs to be replaced anyways because of rust on the bottom. Luckily it is able to close and I can drive it like this. Here are my questions:
1. How much would new doors cost? Junkyards?

2. How hard is it to convert my truck to power controls? I've owned the truck for a little over a year now and am tired of un-buckling my seat belt to reach across to the passengers door to unlock it already.

3. How hard is to replace a door?

4. What do you think about this paint job: Black on top until the roll on the side panels, then silver in there, then black line-x at the bottom to keep salt and sand under control.

Thanks,
-Chris

I was going to run black herculiner along the bottom of my truck as well...I did some so-so photo-shopping and it looks really good. I have seen a few obs trucks around other forums who have also played w/the bed liners and it looks really sharp.

photoshopped pic (not my truck, but close enough)



Some other pictures I have picked up during my research into the project:

I have inquired on color matching my rockers when I get the time for body work and paint on the bed.......it really was not bad price wise for the protection.
