Interactive Custom Door Panels
OK First Gen'ers, when I bought my truck used there was an unidentifiable substance in the bottom of the map pockets that had successfully chemically bonded some pennies to the bottom of the pockets. Since they have that fuzzy stuff on them cleaning them was almost out of the question. Besided, my wife think that they make excellent junk collectors! Well I'm doing away with the pockets and I'm going to be doing it as inexpensively as possible. I am going to be taking lots of pictures so I'll post them here so you all can follow along. This is interactive so if you have any questions or comments, fire away.
The first thing that you will need is 18 (9 each side) of the plastic panel retainers as you are going to break them taking the door panel off. I paid $.35 each for them at a local auto upholstery place.

The complete door Panel
OK! My wife said that the blue paint look kind of weird so I had to repaint the trim panel with Hammered Silver paint. I also cut out the vent opening.
One minor detail that I overlooked. Where the staples were in the window molding...I just put 2 small sheetmetal screws in to hold it together, worked great!
When any of you do your door panels you have to post a Pic of the finished product in here so we can all check out your work!
Pods to come so keep your eyes open!!
