    Sweet ...

    The "Work" you are refering to , Are you looking to get rid of the wrinkles ?

    If so this is something that can be done easily as long as the material is not brittle ...

    Just seperate the material from the backing CAREFULLY. Then use a hairdryer and a hot glue gun . First heat up the material, pull it straight then glue it down . Start from the middle and work your way out. The corners are a little bit tricky but you can streach it enough to cover without laps ...

    Worked for me ... I did the panels on my galaxie and after the dye job they looked like new ....

    I have a set for my orange mav. They are very hard to find. The ones i have are the only ones I have ever seen. My came out of a body shop where they had been stored for 20 some odd years. They had saved them off of a wrecked parts car they used back in the early 70's. They had just never used them. These babies are nice.
