Step 65 - Prep Door Panels


The Mach went back to the paint shop to have some re-work done to the hood and front end.  No car - no problem.  I purchased replacement door panels from the Mustang Market (http://www.mustangmarket.com/door.htm) - in my opinion these duplicate the originals better than what anyone else offers.  The original panels were beyond repair and passenger side was even stamped REJECT.  Cleaned the wood grain panels.  Polished and repainted the the running horse.  Sanded, buffed and polished the stainless trim (amazing how many dings the seat belt puts in them...).  My car came equipped with two driver-side door courtesy lights (one of which was installed upside-down on the passenger side) - I found an original passenger-side bezel on ebay.  Swapped out the light bulbs for some LEDs (these are polarized - so make sure you ops-check them before final installation).  Stripped and repainted the original door cups.  Door felts are new from Re-Pops, lock inserts are new from Mac Auto, hardware from AMK.  Everything transferred over to the new panels with out any issues.
