    58 DOOR PANELS TO

    THE UPPER DOOR PANELS DONOT SEEN TO LINE UP WITH THE LOWER PANEL EXPOSING ALOT OF BODY COLOR. WHERE THE UPPER SHORTER THAN THE LOWER? THE ATTACHMENTS TO THE DOOR FIBERGLASS LOOK ORGINAL. I AM MISSING THE FRONT UPPER SUPPORT THAT ATTACHES TO THE FIBERGLASS AND IT DESNOT LOOK LIKE IT WAS EVER THERE COMMENTS?

    Michael,

    Are your uppers orignal of repo? I have a set of original and repo and plan to install the repo in a few weeks. Color was wrong, needed charcoal. You should have two brackets that go down inside the lower panel and there should be a metal support that screws to the front of the door and two metal receivers mounted to the door at the lock mechanism end that receive the screws that hold the upper there. I'm not sure what you mean by too much body color showing. My originals fit perfect. I'm now wondering about the repo's.

      Unless they've been improved recently you'll throw the repros away and reinstall the originals. They don't have the right contour and don't look or fit anywhere close to correctly.

        Thanks Wayne! Glad I didn't sell the originals at the swap meet in Florida. I did compare them when I received them and they looked OK. I guess I'll know for sure when I fit them to the doors.

            Michael,

            My set came from Al Knoch. I just checked them again against the originals.
            They seem OK! As I said in an earlier post, I plan to keep my originals until I'm assured the repop's fit properly. You can send the originals to Al Knoch and he will put new covers on them. The attaching brackets can also be replaced.

                Mike,

                My '58 is Panama Yellow with a white cove. All I have left to do is install the interior, the 2 X 4's and rebuild the front suspension. I did a frame on.
