I was supposed to get mine in for pics and installation articles but the latest mold had a flaw and they just fixed it. They should be on their way soon.

Was the flaw in the door handle location? My sons was off, he ended up using the old door lever, he wasnt to happy about it. He called the manufacture and they blew him off, so he made due with what he had.

They said it was on the corner at the top and it was curling out. What handle were you having trouble with? I would like to see your pics too.

The oval cut out they had for the door lever, it was cut to high, and was not centered over the original place of the door handle lever. Garrett had to cut the original rectangler box into the door panel to make it work. Then there was a problem with the upper panel that ties over the top coming away from the glass, it would not set properly. He added some material over it and I believe it raised it so it would not seat on the lower panel.
I'll try to get some pics tonight, like a dope I left the camera off the charger and again this morning I forgot to attach it.

Must be going out of my mind. His truck is pretty much done and it looks awesome, then he went thru AZ emissions, and $$$$ later he passed. Now he's just waiting for the top part of his seat console, the trimer busted it when they put the seat together, so that is why we have been waiting to show everyone pics, but I'll see hat I can do tonight.

If you remember the truck N2TRUX posted of the "SS" 74 pickup he is the one that designed the door panels and other components for Rod Doors. I have talked with him a few times and he told me to call him for better instalation instructions.

You don't have to "reveal" the truck if you don't want to. The door panel is fine with me.
