i think you might want to do a search for door panel restoration.i remember some one posting about a company that restores original door panels but they took along time to get them back.maybe some one else can chime in about that company.

If I can get the door panel's I have restored to orig. specs. It would make me happier than hearing the 454 at 6500 doin burn-out's:hurray:I hope to find some info on this.

A company called SMS does good work and takes a long time. You also might want to restore them yourself by using a spray on dye/paint that's pretty easy to work with.

One of the rear one's was warped a little and the window crank ate into it over the years.The chrome around the stripe is peeling too.Dyeing would not be a problem I need to get a couple of them flat again.Thank's.

http://www.smsautofabrics.com talk to Doug. they do take a little time but they are worth it... make sure you explain to them if you want your old ones back though or you'll never see them again..

There has been a pair of front '72 Heavy Chevy door panels on scream-bay. They are blue, look pretty nice. I have no connection with this seller. Just passing the info on.
