Thanks, TBH they look better in the pics than in real life but they will do, at least for now.
As Sheriff stated, they will be much more welcoming for passengers than Wimbledon White steel is, but at least it is clean freshly painted steel, haha.

I originally planned on installing reproductions. Unfortunately, as it usually happens towards the end of my projects, Mama starts to complain about the spending, even though she really has no idea what I invest in these cars(probably best that she doesn't), she is aware it is substantial. I have to slow down on the parts buying briefly and let her ruffled feathers smooth down for a bit. This gives her some time to buy some crap she doesn't need for a bit and then I am back off the leash for a while, haha.
The reproduction panels alone are $974.00 for the better quality ones from NPD. I needed new inserts($300), handles($90 each), retaining clips($25), lock knob ferrules($10)speaker grilles($90), which was around $1600 plus tax. I knew my wife wasn't ready for that right now, so I wanted to find a decent set of used ones, at least temporarily. I am currently saving my pennies to order all of the seat covers and foams, so I can reupholster the seats over the winter yet, so new door panels was not a fight I wanted fight at this point, haha.
Hey Rick@NPD, can you help a poor kid from the southside of Chicago, just trying to make it in this cruel hard world, out with a coupon? LOL
