Topic: '67 deluxe door panel stainless outer trim fit

Did you come in afterwards and re-punch through the holes to get the now flattened "teeth" to bite in?

Probably...I am not sure now. The door panels were fought together probably item #2, after I did the seats...long ago like in 2013. They were a real fight, and they were a fight to fit them to the car last year too! Both were warped like a banana! I built a fixture to warp them back and put them inside a hot car. That fixed the warp. Then the handles wouldn't reach.
I still want to try a different set some day. These are circa 2012 purchased Dashes Direct.

The stainless deluxe interior looks great but there are considerable issues and dollars getting it to look right.
I have 3 sets of these so I  can practice.

I did a set on my 67 Shelby a few years ago.  I flattened out the original punch areas first.  Reapplied to the new panels and punched the original holes to secure.  This worked well for me.  Held real tight and not a lot of force needed to reset the punched area.

I'll try that first!
