I am trying to find a repo set of door panels for a 65 2 door Sedan. I have been told that Hardtop and El Camino panels will not fit. Has anybody out there either found Sedan panels or made something else work. I am just looking for something that will look good, Doesn't have to be period correct.
I need both front and rear.
:confused:
Thanks
Ron

300 and 300 Deluxe door panels will be hard to find.
Unfortunately there isn't enough demand yet to get someone to repop them.

You can get 65 2dr sedan door panels from SMS Auto Fabrics in Canby Oregon.They are not cheap and they don't get in a hurry after you order them.I ordered in Jan. got them in July.Top quality and they fit perfectly,you get what you pay for.I think their phone # is 503-263-3535 but i'm not positive.

I have 66 2dr Sedan 300 Deluxe and when I did the interior I ordered the panels for a hardtop and they worked just fine. I'm not sure if a 65 would be the same way. By any chance do you or someone you know have an old pair from a hardtop that you could test fit?

Thanks guys. I will try to find a hard top to compare mine to and see if I can make them work. A local trimshop can make new panels but they will not be corect because the originals are the pressed design.
