The way I read it he wants the Trans Am door just for the shell itself, and has plans on replacing the Trans Am skin with a Camaro skin.

It's nothing but a skin. The inner structure is the same as the camaro. The skin is the only part specific to the camaro or firebird.

The SMC outer shell can be fixed if done right and would be cheaper than buying a door.
