1965 replacement door panels (1 Viewer)

[Matt N.]

Hey all, new to the forum, and new to Tbirds! I just bought a 65 and the door panels are in rough shape. I've been looking online and I found complete replacement panels as well as caps that cover the top side and just cover the door pull area. I did a quick search on the forum, and nothing came up. Have any of you have used any of these, and if so what was your experience using them?

I noticed that company sells dash caps and door panel covers for 4th gen Thunderbirds. Has anyone had any experience with these?

Hi Matt,
The door panels are "doable" but can be a challenge. You owe it to yourself to grab a drink and check out Nick's video:

Thanks Joe, I've have actually watched video, and Nick has some great content. But he's talking about a complete door panel replacement, they are bit pricey, and according to Nick not exactly a bolt on item. The Accuform products are caps that go over the existing panels and they are a bit cheaper and may be an easier fix. I posed the question because I couldn't find much info on this product, and wanted to find out anyone has had any experience with it.

Ok send me your address I’ll send $
