hey all -
I've got a '71 tub and am looking at some '75 inner door panels here locally - Is there any difference between an early and late door that I should know about before popping for these? Will they fit my doors? thanks! td |

The vinyl early doors is smooth, the 75 would have the late basket weave. |

I think I remember that the panels do interchange, even though they are not the same. You might need to do a little tweaking of stuff to get them to interchange?
Note that there are at least two different basket weave patterns; one for ~72-74 cars and one with larger pattern elements for 75-76. There were a couple of different grain patterns on the smooth vinyl as well, but I don't remember when those changed. --DD |

early has a formed metal top piece. 75-76 is 1 piece molded fiberboard that gets the hooks ripped out by unknowing panel removers and is a bitch to fix. Early is easy to attach to new flat fiberboard and make replacement or custom panels.

You can restore your late panel yourself. It's easy. Watch my tutorial here (lots of pictures).
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=54608 For your information, here is a thread with the early panels http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=46715 ... |
