    If anyone is on the fence about door panels here is a couple of shots of the ones that I just received from Melvin's. They had the best price.

    Those look great!

    I was fortunate enough to get a set of the '70-'72 black deluxe panels through Summit Racing when they had mistakingly priced them at $139 for the set. I ordered them on 10/31/16 and didn't get them until a couple of weeks ago. I figured they would end up cancelling my order but I kept waiting them out and they finally came.

    Well worth the wait!

    I did the same thing. I ordered oct 31 and didn't get them till January 10. I called plenty of times to make sure they weren't going to cancel on me!

    Summit Racing is a great place to do business; especially when their main warehouse is just minutes from my house. :yup:

    Same experience with Summit and the wait. I think the manufacturer waited with the orders them made a bunch of them up.
    Only one side had a small piece of trash in the mylar chrome but I'm still very happy with the quality, well worth the wait during the winter.

    You have any pictures of your car? It looks like it is a dark orange or copper color. Looks good!

    Car looks nice! I agree.. put it in the garage so others can see more pictures of your hard work.

    I also got some red panels during this same price mix-up. I actually thought my original ones would clean up nice until I opened the box. Awesome quality.. IMO, look even better than new OEM. Not that I remember seeing many right off the showroom floor. lol

    Icrabtree, you might want to consider posting your car in the Garage section of this site. It will be visible there long after this thread has moved on to the archives.

    Nice looking car! I remember seeing it when it was for sale a while back. I really like the color combo!

    Here are the black deluxe panels that I got. I haven't even taken them out of the package. They look much better in person than they do in the pics.
