Also, the new panels did not come with the little "cups" that go in the hand hold and the hole for the door handle. I called all of the "usual suspects" - Texas Mustang Parts, Dallas Mustang, NPD, Year One, Mustangs Plus - and no one carries those things. Any ideas. The ones in the old door panels are in pretty bad shape but if need be, I will try to re-use them. E.

The reproduction deluxe door panels that I used on my 67FB had the cups already intergrated into the arm rest of the panel. Separate cups were not needed.

James, do you recall where you got them? Perhaps I can order the cups from them. E.

Well, another frustrating weekend. There was no way to get the door panel clips to line up all the way around the door panel. In order to get most of the top row to fit I had to widen the hole for the window crank. The bottom row was hopeless. I ended up drilling a couple of holes in the molding at the bottom and screwing the panel to the door. I guess it looks OK but I can tell that it has been "Oklahoma engineered". So far I only managed to do the drivers side. The passenger door will have to wait until my blood pressure recovers. E.
