Frankly, I'm surprised it got a bid that high to start...

$21K, Buy It Now?! The guy is out of his gourd.

I dunno... I called it "chipboard" because that's what Don Taylor called it in his book "Automotive Upholstery HandbooK". But in fact, it's a heavy duty cardboard material that Restoration Supply sells...

Dan

Roger, you instincts are correct:

Hope this helps...

Dan

Oh! Better yet, Roger! If it's not too much trouble -- that would be ideal. The door panels -- and the holes -- are mirror images, right?

I'm sure my idea would work, but it's too much trouble. When you get a chance...

Thanks
Dan

Sorry about your finger, Roger. How did you break it? I got my old panels back from the upholsterer, and the dimensions of them are fine, thanks -- so I won't need your old ones. What I do need, however, is a way to figure out where to place the clips. I came up with another idea: After I make the n...

Roger, I know no more about Amanda that the bio she provided on her car's page... Nice person, though, I hope she would subscribe to the forum and check in now and then.

So, how 'bout some pix of your car? Mebbe it's all over the road because you broke your finger?!

Thanks! I gotta rent it....

Thanks to Tom Fox, Ed Ober, Chuck Haze and Faulkner for their contributions...

The guy who redid my interior did a very credible job; not original, but decent. Except, for the door panels. They're a bit of a mess. Unfortunately, there's cloth on them that matches the rest of the interior, and I can't find the material anywhere. I have a good upholstery guy who's going to stitc...

There's a guy flooding eBay with his parts interchange manual:

Does anyone have one of these? Is it a useful thing to get? Anyone have this guy's manual in particular?

Dan

All of you eBayers have already seen this, I'm just getting around to checking since I got back from my conference... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6411&item=2479926602&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Isn't this George's car? George was the POC Technical Advi...

Tom Fox, Ed Ober, Chuck Haze and myself shared the spotlight for a few brief moments in Spike TV's "52 Favorite Cars". We're in segment 11 -- here's the promo (our cars don't appear in it): http://www.52favoritecars.com/52Faves_Intro.mov This week I'll digitize the segment and put on our w...

Ditto on that. Roger, maybe if you post the list here, we could let you know what we're interested in, and could make a bid...
