RockitRiviera Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Did Clark's discontinue the panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 RockitRiviera.Could you not find them in their catalog? Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockitRiviera Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 because I priced 1965 base door panels and the price sheet said, "Discontinued" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockitRiviera Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 ...and I did find them on his website...but again, when I went to his price sheet....they were discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 That is odd that they would be discontinued after doing the tooling for them. I'd call Clark's on the phoneand ask them what's up. Let us know what you find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KS-Competition Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 As far as I can see the doorpanels from Clark´s are still there but they only do the wood option type, not the std version that I am searching for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Make your own out of sheet PVC and wood panel, thats what most of the upholstery custom shops are doing, you can rebuild them better than new or original and last alot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either standard or custom vinyl can be applied to themThe last two listings are for the wood grain inserts - one for the custom and one for the standard panels.

ThanksKristerIf you have the originals, an upholstery shop should be able to duplicate them for you. I'm not sure what they look like but your local shop should be able to do anything except doing electro seals.

(as on the backs of the front seats) Ed, the base model door panels on a 65 have electro sealed pleats in the vinyl. I've seen a lot of people sew in the pleats with threadand it looks nice but doesn't look correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrlforfun Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 OK Darren: I have used Clarks cardboard door panel product on several occasions. It is really a high quality piece and it's reasonably priced too. It has universal cutouts for all the different trim and equipment configurations. You can't go wrong with them!
