Finally replaced the door panels
« on: January 20, 2018, 22:13:30 »
10 years ago I replaced the seats, horsehair pads, kick panels, rear deck panel but not the door panels.   Finally updated this week.   The guy did an awesome job recovering the door armrest.   I think its time to take all the dash and pillar panels and have him recolor back to new also.

Doing my best to get all sorted out as I've got a weekend road trip I'm looking forward to soon.

Are those door armrests really covered in leather ! As you said " awesome. Got to get my door cards and armrests re-done, might be sending the armrests to your guy.

They're the original ones.   No he recolored them.    They look as good as new.    I'm guessing the originals are some type of plastic and just became discolored after 40+ years.
