The hand pull handle finish will totally change the appearance of the door cards as visually this is quite dominant when installed . Also the lower part of the panel will be obscured when its in the car making them look more balanced light/dark when installed and the doors are closed.
It could look great . Give it a chance.

Firewall and rusted center piece
Roland, One more day are you going to make it to the Palooza? I hope so, wven it is not 100% complete, please bring it. WE need all the Pantera we can get. Or Goal is 60. Larry
The interior looks really good
Inching my way towards completion….
still fiddling with electric… Hooking things up, fuse boxes relays… The usual
Doesn’t look much different than before BUT the upper dash is bolted in rock solid ‼️
I had my interior redone in leather as part of my project. I had the dash out anyway to replace the evaporator. The only upholsterer I found that would tackle the 2 pod dash was Chris McClintlock of Bux Customs in Pottstown, PA. They normally require the car on site but he allowed me to bring in my parts piecemeal and worked them into his busy schedule. He did need the car to do the door panels to ensure they would fit correctly. I stressed the importance that the seats needed to keep the low seating position for headroom. He cut a cross section of my seat to be able to accomplish that. I have always liked the look of Mangusta seats so that was the design we used. Last photo shows my new steering wheel.
DW, looks VERY Good! Great craftsmanship! Very Clean.
I had to post This milestone:
All electrical components and lights and indicators are working….
What a fight it was!
Now I’m down to just the rest…
You've got an extra washer from behind your dash laying on your floormat!

It’s one of the heavy stainless steel washes I replaced with titanium 😂
Engine stays in the cubby.. It’s closed up again… It’s been a while…
And:
I have to make me panels to cover the footwells / tunnel.. the originals got destroyed with speaker holes.. ☹️
note: the recessed power shut off
Finally an update on my interior….
i found the correct clips (small mod needed) for the top of the door panels so I don’t have to use screws..
I made a new, aluminum panel for the diver side footwell and it’s getting powder coated (electrical insulation) and I am making a fiberglass one because of complex curves for the passenger side.. both the originals where destroyed by loudspeaker loving previous Owner…
- note hole for the Battery shut off-
I also sent off my seatbelts.. 53 years Of service are long enough to Be dismissed!
The belts are getting redone.. I sent them to -seatbeltplanet.com Very helpful and they did Panteras before ……… softly blending out
🎼 I…. Just wanna’ rock and roll all night! 🎶 And party every day! 🎵
(you keep on shouting, you keep on shouting!!!)
