Aaaanybody?  The material is in good condition just the cardboard has bent a bit. Can I take off the material and put it on new cardboard?

Thanks

Try steaming the back board and used heavy blocks to straighten.

The chrome plastic strip is heat-bonded, not sure that it will come off the panel easily.

If you go with new Door Panels, Make sure that you go with the TMI Door panels  They seem to be the best out there still.

I just received new door panels from VCM for my 69 standard panel.  The panels look to be a good match (grain, const. mounting holes) but the color is way off.  I have a light blue interior and the panels I got are on the turquoise side.

Distinctive still needs lots of work on their Door panels.  IMHO, They look too "Plastic" and have a "Squared" off look to them.  I can spot them a mile away..

TMI's Door panels are right on the money...and look original... You can get them from NPD...and other vendors..

As for colors, I'll leave others to comment on that..
