I like em.

May have to order some up

**Grumpy old man** · 01-23-2016, 11:16 AM

Based on the positive response I might have to build a few dozen custom sets ?

I believe at under $100 a pair you'd sell lots of them!

I actually like the ones with the blue bowtie and bought them. I'll get them next week and let you know how it looks.

EARNHARDT#3 · 01-28-2016, 03:05 PM

Mine came yesterday and they're beautifully made. I'll post pictures once installed.

Can you post a few pictures of the backs ?

EARNHARDT#3 · 01-30-2016, 01:37 PM

When I get home later on. Also, I asked in another thread about what thickness medium density foam to get for my spring bench seat. You probably never went back to that thread.

EARNHARDT#3 · 01-30-2016, 03:00 PM

Back...

EARNHARDT#3 · 01-30-2016, 03:01 PM

Front...

I also ordered black and chrome reproduction '67 style armrests as well as '72 escutcheons to use with these.

The arm rests you got are a for earlier than '67. No matter, it's custom.

I just spent the day picking up materials ,foam and the waterproof door boards to build some sets to list for sale in the classified section and if anyone wants something a little more custom or basic all I need is a basic drawing or picture of what you want to build them to your specs .I'll be listing some on Ebay also .A little competition for the guy already building them is always good and will bring out some different patterns that aren't available right now .

Dang those are nice

EARNHARDT#3 · 02-24-2016, 03:34 PM

I got around to installing my drivers side door panel today. I went with '67 Camaro arm rests. The mounting holes are nearly an identical match. I like the style of these arm rests.

BugzC10 · 02-24-2016, 03:43 PM

Are you happy with the overall fit? I like the rm rests

They are 60-66 Chevy truck armrests.. Lmc has the best price I found.. Exact bolt in no need to mod

EARNHARDT#3 · 02-24-2016, 04:59 PM

Nice!!^^ another satisfied customer. Can't go wrong for $100.

EARNHARDT#3 · 05-26-2016, 11:32 AM

So I want to update this post. I wouldn't bother with these door panels if you're a perfectionist. After a while they now don't sit real flush to the door anymore. The board material used is too flimsy and they just don't look great anymore. Good enough for my truck but I would've gone a different route if I had known.
