Well, I have a 72 Chevelle and when I click on interior to see your new Chevelle door panels nothing comes up. It's been that way for a while now. Very interested in the product so that's why I'm asking.

It has always been our intention to get production panels out for the Chevelle guys. We began with the panels you may have seen a while back for the Goodguys giveaway Chevelle...
Link There are still some design changes we want to make to the panels.
A couple of big build projects have occupied a great deal of shop time recently, thus tying up any development time we have for new fiberglass parts. It looks to be that way for another couple of months.

We do everything ourselves, in house, from the design sketches and ideas to sculpting the plugs for new parts, prototyping, mold making and manufacturing the pieces. Being a small company, we have to get thrifty with where we balance fab time versus prototype time. Prototyping a brand new part is incredibly intensive both time and cost-wise. Right now we have more vehicles in the fab shop than we ever have had, which is great, we just need more hours in the day!

We hope to be expanding or interior parts line to the Chevelle crew pretty soon.
Stay tuned!


Chris

Default Door Panels and Defrost Vents

I am starting to put the interior in Marks 69 camaro. There is some pictures of the install from camaros.net. How did you mount the door panels to the doors since they have no back,,just a outer shell. Also have you made any defrost vents for the dash yet. We are going to the interior shop next month.

Posted this elsewhere, but for the sake of reference:

You can attach the panels in a number of ways.
We have customers who have had great success with a double sided upholstery/trim style tape (foam type) - very sticky!
Many have used a hidden, or 'blind' fastener (I have heard them called 'Christmas tree clips' before) on the backside of the panel, located into a requisite hole on the door shell.
Others have used an oem approach, with a visible screw and washer like a factory setup.
We have plans for a defroster vent, however, not a production ready part yet.

I still dont see how this will work since your door panels have a 1/8" to 3/16" lip on the edge of the door panels. There is no way to use double stick tape on that thin of a lip.

Now if the door panels had a 1/2" lip on the back side then the clips or double sided tape will work.
