One new door panel installed

This interior stuff is not as easy as it looks. Finally got the driver side front panel completed and installed. LOT's of prefitting and double checking. I painted the old pull-straps and arm rest bases and pads with SEM flexible coating, Landau Black. They look great, like new. A word of caution to anyone using Legendary panels: all the cutouts are correctly located except for the window crank hole. It is about 1/4" too high. Do not use the perforated cut out like I did, or you might have a slight open space above the crank center escutheon. ( fortunately I was able to adjust my panel to compensate) Now to turn the car around in my carport so I can do the other side. Chumley

Very nice looking job.

Yeah, with repro stuff, you have to measure 6 times and cut once.

Looks nice! One down, 1 to go.
I found out about the cutout SNAFUs when i was doing mine. The power lock switch was 2" up and 2" closer to the pull strap! Glad I checked and distrusted them.

Panels look nice. I have the unassembled legendary panels without the metal top rail. Took metal off old panels now need to clean them up and install on new panels. Anybody have any good ideas or experience on getting all the circles punched through and bend back over.
