door panel restoration

[ron kunstal]

Hi:

I have been in a 15 year restoration on a 1960 and have finally decided to finish it. Over the years I purchased the new door panels and metal trim (Al Knoch?). After looking at what's involved I don't think I can or want to do it (I've done everything else on the car) and so am looking for some recommendations from members who are on the west coast. Are there some good places a person can send these parts and have knowledgeable corvetters do the job? I live in northwest California and we have nothing in our area. Perhaps someone in Oregon , Washington or Northern California has had this type of work done. I would appreciate any feedback you can give. Thanks for your time.

Hey Ron, open Restorer Magazine and you'll find Mr. Kennedy is our NCRS intererior Technical guru. I had the pleasure of judging his work on the interior of 003 on it's way to a Duntov and the only thing I could find in the entire interior was a white thread about 1/2 inch hanging out from the carpet binding. It could be argued that this thread was typical of factory production! No points were deducted. Mr. Kennedy's work is exceptional. His top installations are unsurpassed! He's a western guy and if he'll agree to do your stuff, you won't regret it!

Rev Varooom!
