    51 Chevy door panels made. (Pics)

     



    This car is just a "beater" so I dont want to spend a lot on the interior. Been working on this for two damn days now and still not done! I got the front kick panels and both door panels made. I got both door panels covered and the pass. side done except for the lower half. I want to put black carpet along the bottom of the door panel as a kick panel area. Hopefully tomorrow I will get the drivers door finished and both doors carpeted. Then on to the rear side panels which should be a piece of cake since I can use the exsisting panels. Here's some pics of the progress today.

    Thanks! I also went to my local GM dealer and got about 30 of those little plastic push in pieces to hold the panel to the door. They worked great!
