I only have the small sample pictured on the 1st page. At least until my shipment from Germany comes in.

Well, trying to get some back stock on these so the waiting is minimal.
I went off on my own path again. Wound up taking more material than I thought it should as to mirror the pattern. Because of pattern having 2 small and 1 wide stripe I had to cut and flip it making me use about 1.25 yards. Yes, I have some drop, and if I did more it gets more efficient, but ouch.
The material is a little finicky to work with. you can't stretch it much or it distorts the pattern, but you have to pull it straight to make the lines look good.

What do you think??

Now I wonder what the pockets would look like if I can make them look good?


Hi Mike, I'd be interested in this set w/ or /w'out pockets. I have GT style door pulls, so only need the cutout for the door release handle.

These sets do not include the new door pockets. I can leave unpunched (the vinyl or tartan). My intent was to make these plug and play so all holes are located and ready to install, however I can easily leave as shown, uncut like plaid ones I just did.

Hi Mark,
Put me down for new door panels
I could use a whole interior! Carpet, seats, dash etc.

one of the early owners added door speakers sadly

Thank you,
Henry

Mark - I've seen a few requests in this thread for a set with the black basketweave used in the 75's. Is this an option? If so, I'll take a set. I've already gone in on the pockets.

-Thanks,

Yes it will be. We are assembling panels now so there will not be much of a wait.

The Plaid will be an option.

Those black tartar look good. Just might consider getting a set in green tartar if you have it.

I would be interested in a set of brown ones with hole for window crank and door pull. Also looking to just have gt loop pull instead of pockets and handles

I bought the black plastic door cards, and have them out for upholstery right now, RS style. I just need the top metal bolsters.
Long_ago
Hi - yes I'd like door panels for 1974.
Probably tan - maybe black.
Could also use the driver's side smugglers box
and the passenger side armrest.

Thanks
gord
@Mikey914
Will you have these in the late beige basketweave?

I actually need to redo my entire interior, but late beige appears to be an unavailable option for all the upholstery parts on your site right now.

Gord
Mikey914
Yes the late beige is no problem.

Mark - I'll like to buy a plaid set with your Matisse-Blue Tartan Nr. 80. I'm ordering a set of seats from you too in this same configuration. I can always pick it up, it's always fun to see what you have in the pipeline.

Yes im making parts faster than we can get them listed. Just got these bad boys done.
What you are looking at it a correct style early metal bolster top and OEM style door cards.
Also made some new door pockets that fit perfectly onto the top band of the smugglers box on the driver's side.as well as the passenger side lower sections.
We made these out of plastic. Will be offering these up too.

Lastly found some vinyl in Germany that is close to the original pattern. We will be still stamping the correct versions. They are just significantly more expensive.

Thinking we can offer up a Group buy for plug and play door cards in the most complete form,.
Good news is that the fiberboard is less expensive and easier to work with, so we will be able to offer up some great pricing.
I anticipate bringing these to GB by end of January.
Will jave the white, black, brown and tan panels ready to ho soon.
Ill post up more pics and finalize the GB price after Christmas.

So who's interested?

Mark


Howdy Mark,

Please put me down for a mirrored set of door panels in Orange Plaid.

Thank you for this cool group buy!

In addition to the black pair for a '73 I'm also going to need a pair in tan for a '76. beerchug.gif
Mikey914
So we have made up most of the panels that everyone has asked for. We just got the tan and brown in finally. As soon as the codes are made up will will be able to open this up, and ship quickly for the black ones.

I'm a bit late to the party, but possible to get a set of black basketweave for my '71?

I'm in for a set for my 70. No pockets, etc, this car is a lightweight. Just needs to look good and be inexpensive.

The black/white plaid looks awesome! Have you arrived at a price yet?
Mikey914
$390 GB price for plaids

How much for a set in black on a ‘75? Mine currently has the drivers door pocket. I’ll confirm everything tomorrow as the car is at my shop.

Thanks!

Is it too late to get in the GB for a set for a '74 basketweave, black?

icon_bump.gif @Mikey914 Supply chain problems must be giving you nightmares Mark. I wonder how many more of us want to give you $$$$. I'd like to give you another $1500+ once you get restocked. biggrin.gif

It's standard. 13mm head. beerchug.gif

Yes we just got caught behind the curve on these.
I had a few guys that needed these right away and called the office and we got them covered, but it creates issues with trying to get enough made up.


I do have many sets made up, and we are cutting and forming more metal for for these now. I'm heading into the office to see what we can break off on these right now. I just didn't want to open up the flood gates, and not be able to take care of everyone.

Called today, sounds like crème color isn’t available yet.

Jim,
Do you know the actual vinyl that was used? I know you need it matched.

Count me in for a set of tan door panels (have a 73 so I think early is correct).

Thanks,

Blake is contacting everyone now on the list in groups of 10 as we work our way through the list. We will close this out as soon as we get to the end. I'm hoping end of the month. Scott had made his way through quite a few of these, and looks like we may be in the home stretch! beerchug.gif
