Post by: 78BBSTEPSIDE on December 15, 2007, 09:53:10 am: Those look really sharp. Did you paint or cover in material? Is that correct that they attach with velcro? How does that work out?
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: tvblazer78 on December 15, 2007, 10:10:14 am: You have two bolts at the door handle and then you have dual lock that is stonger then velcro. I did use material on them. The only bad thing is that you have to pre fit them and do some cutting, but if you do that right it come out very good.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: 78BBSTEPSIDE on December 15, 2007, 10:16:45 am: Where was the trimming necessary? Was this a result of using material?
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: tvblazer78 on December 15, 2007, 10:41:23 am: Just cut off some parts that keeped that panel from molding to the door like it should. Most of the cutting was at the handle and at the window.

Your pic should be added to the Store's page, to give people a better idea as to what they can achieve! 8) Now I want to get a pair when I can afford them ;D

Funny you posted this over the weekend. I got the mock up set for the rears Friday evening. I plan on testing the fit out on them ASAP.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: BigStella on April 23, 2009, 09:03:03 am: I want a set as soon as they are avaliable, please let me know.

thanks
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: Captkaos on April 23, 2009, 11:02:00 am: They will be posted on the site as soon as we get them test fitted and get any problems with them ironed out. One side has issues with aligning correctly so I have to make it fit.

Post by: Skunksmash on May 20, 2009, 10:50:02 pm: Hey TVBlazer... on the parts of your interior that you did end up having to paint, what was the paint code of the SEM brand paint that you used? I dont want to do that nasty stock "saddle" color when i paint mine. I would like something more modern like you have there.

Why do your panels look slightly different than TVBlazer78's on the first page? Yours don't have a armrest cup and the insert around the door handle looks different. Not the shape, but it looks like you are missing the insert. I was just curious.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: Captkaos on October 19, 2009, 04:14:45 pm: He chose not to use the handle cups and chose to cover the lower insert. You can pretty much do anything you want with them.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: beastie_3 on October 19, 2009, 07:58:39 pm: Got'cha
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: Flamingbig10 on October 19, 2009, 10:13:45 pm: I didn't like the look of the lower panel so I left it off, and door handle may look different because tv is using a 77-80 handle and I'm using a 81-87 door handle
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: 1HI4x4 on October 20, 2009, 05:26:40 am: How much longer for the Crews to be finished? I'm ready to start on the interior.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: Captkaos on October 20, 2009, 11:49:57 am: I am waiting to see if they will fix the gaps at the bottom of the doors. Technically I can sell them to you, but I don't like the fit on the bottom of the door.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: 1HI4x4 on October 20, 2009, 02:32:35 pm: Keep me informed, in about two weeks I'll be waiting on you. ;D
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels

Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: slamd83c10 on February 17, 2010, 08:21:56 pm: not to bring up buried topics, but are these door panels still available, if so, are you going to have them for a while. got 2 projects going and the first one im about to order them for in about a month, the 2nd one wont be til after summer.
Title: Re: Your Custom Door Panels
Post by: Captkaos on February 22, 2010, 11:19:54 pm: Should be availible indefinitely, they are in the store (banner linked at the top of the page)
