recovering interior door panels

I think that is Gary Herrig you are talking about - he did a lot of Corvette C4 seats for people... I may have bought one of the last sets he made.

He may be out of the business as of about 3 years ago.

Would one of our resourceful vendors sell those interior panels premade? Seems like lots of people have the same problem you describe...

Good luck - let us know what you find out!

PS. JFB had his done by a local dude on the East Coast, and I think they came out great... Scroll down a little..

Pat B: You may be able to find an upholstery or restoration shop in your area specializing in auto interiors that could do the job, or have material that is so close it would be indistinguishable from the original.

I believe SACC Restorations might have material which matches the stock material.

I was lucky and the door cards had not been cut for speakers. I also did not attempt to match the original material and went with "my taste".

NOW, my dash had been cutup for extra gauges. I took it to a body shop and had them repair it like they would for a plastic body part. I am sure that would work for the door cards.

I seem to recall Kirt Evans http://www.amerisportindustries.com/contact
was offering new door cards. New would proably be cheaper than having repaired

(My speakers had been installed in the console kick panels)

Does it have to be stock? Judy and I had Don Byars recover our '72's cut panels with wrinkled-look GT5-S upholstery, right over the speaker holes. Some do this, then stamp little holes in the cut area for better tone. My problem was hooking the slightly protruding speaker cover with my boot sole when entering. Got tired of picking up the grille!
