    Yeah thats pretty cool but honestly it doesnt seem very hard to make a set of door panels if i had a roll of vinyl some cardboard and a sewing machine i could make some easily.

    you could not make those for that price the first 10 would not be perfect and they would be wasted material so leave it to the pros. and stick to just buying them

    I agree with what this guy is saying....but at the same time, some folks do not have the cash to stick to just buying them
    and some have the skill to do it and some can make a set that is good enough to satisfy them. Its all up to the person.
    I bought a set that someone made. I got them cheap and I am very happy with them. I am sure I could make a set that would look real good if I put my mind to it.

    i think that's a good price for new panels myself. i have several sets of originals that i have collected over the yrs that would be hard to replace if i got rid of them.

    i also have a car right now (70 grabber) that has the same style panels in it as the one pinky pictured that someone had made and they look good as well. it's all in how far a person wants to go :yup:

    not sure who made them, they were on sale here a while back, no bites at $200. The guy put them on ebay with a starting price of $50. I was the only bid :thumbs2:

    and in what direction a person wants to go :D
    If your going stock original, then obviously the price is likely going to be higher based on supply and demand.
    If your going to your taste only, then the price may dictate the taste :rofl:
    For me, I just wanted something, clean and cheap. If it would have been original or custom, it did not matter to me, but it does to some.
    Thats what makes this hobby so much fun.....different strokes for different folks.

    That would be awesome! I'd love it if the 70-72 deluxe panels were available.
