C2 Door Panels

[Ron Still]

Just saw a post about sending original door panels to Al Knoch for restoration/recovering. Has anyone done this and if so, were you pleased with the results? The panels I bought 8 years ago at Bloomington (from AK)do not fit well at all and I don't know how to proceed. My originals fit fine, just look like hell!!

Thanks,

Ron Still

Re: C2 Door Panels

Take a look at these earlier threads and I think you will find out what you are looking for:

Basically, I recommend you contact "Art" at AK and discuss with him your concerns that tell him that another forum member who he worked with last July suggested that you take this approach. The approach I am referring to is to send in your old panels and have them build new ones from the upper metal supports of your old ones. Specifically request that they make the new panels to fit just like the old ones, including dimensions, corner appearance, hole alignment, etc.

Tim,
Thanks for the response. I don't know how I missed this in the archives. I feel much better now knowing it's not "me" in trying to get these panels to fit. The problems described in the posts are exactly what I have encountered. I will call Al Knoch Monday and see how we can get this resolved.

Thank you very much for your input!!

I hope he finally resolves these fit issues. If you don't have originals to work with then what do you do, I guess you're screwed.
