c2 door panels

[Thomas C.]

Can original c2 door panels be restored/reskinned? I frequently see door panels on ebay and wonder if they are worth anything. I have one repro door panel on my 67 and would like to replace it. When I compare it to the original panel on my car it stands out like a sore thumb. Anyone know a source for restoration or quality repro door panels? Thanks , Tom

Tom,

-----I have been wondering if that "Just Dashes" business I have seen advertised for so long could do a creditable job? Anybody have input on them? I think it would be a given that the backing would have to be in good condition...........Bill S

Where did your repro panel come from Tom? I need to replace mine, but after hearing that repros often don't fit right I am hesitant. Can anyone recommend a specific supplier of repro door panels that are known to fit correctly and look like the originals used to when they were new?? I have no choice but to replace mine as they have giant speaker holes in them!!

Also Tom, does the one repro you have look bad or is it just different? If you had two similar panels so that both were the same would they be OK?

Tim , I dont know where the repro panel that I have came from , it was on the car when I bought it. Its really not bad looking but it just dosent fit like the original does and the judges can spot it right away. Tom
