    Also, just completed te door panel install! These came from Scott Rod Fabrication in California. They supplies my door panels, bulkhead and package tray. Everything is laser cut, and gorgeous. The hole for the handle was pre cut, the window crank hole was not. All was rivited in (rivet holes not pre drilled) super easy install, just a bit tedious with measuring where the rivets were going. Enjoy! :)

    I used stainless steel screws to install my Scott Rod door panels. I'm thinking I may need door pulls just above the panel.

    Nice job, looks great! Rivet spacing is critical!

    Thanks guys! The individual price, I don't recall, the company is Scott Rod Fabrication, check them out online! The total cost for my deck, bulkhead and doors with shipping was only $325 super affordable for the quality!

    That's a solid idea! Like a leather strap? Or something else?

    Part of a leather belt bolted to the doors with a grommet would work but a door pull from a luxury car would look nicer. I bought a pair from J. C.Whitney years ago for my old truck. They had two covered bolts on each end and a nice looking strap in between. I would imagine you could find a billet aluminum door pull somewhere in the street rod industry as well.

    Fairly quick! They didn't have my particular year in stock, so I had to wait about a week in a half - two weeks then it was shipped. All based on availability. Other that robot inh the pieces on, not sure what another alternative would be?

    I think the turn around was about the same for me. Like I mentioned earlier, I used short stainless steel screws on mine so I will be able to access the interior of the door later.
