help with door panel replacement

[billhighland]

Would like some input, I need to change my inner door panels of my 74 stingray. I am thinking of using the Corvette America door panels, I will be using my own hardware. They seem like a good price, just wondering on the fit, finish and quality of the panels. Anybody use any other products? All comments are welcome…. Thanks
Bill

Expect a lot of hand fitting. Take your time. The diagrams in the assembly instruction manual (AIM) can be helpful.

My 75's panels from them fit pretty good. I hated those metal strips that hold them to the door edge but they eventually fit.
A hint that worked for me is to hang the panel over the door and go ahead and start screws that hold the door pull to the door frame (with the panel sandwiched in between) and but keep it loose for fitment. Then do the door edge clips, handle, and window crank before tightening everything down good.
I didn't install the screws that go at the top of the panel at the rear of the door. Didn't need them since the panel is on there good and it's a cleaner look without the screw visible.

None of the replacement panels are perfect but the Al Knoch pieces are closer than CA.
