Re: custom inner door panels .. anyone??
those are rod doors panels. Pre-molded plastic and you just cover them in your choice of cloth, leather, or vinyl. I just happen to have a pair I'm not using now

Re: custom inner door panels .. anyone??
I will take some pics tonight and post them here. They are molded ABS but like mentioned you could accomplish the same thing with wood. The Rod doors attach with a heavy duty 3M backed velcro and then of course the door and window handles and armrest help hold it in as well.

It's sad but true that Rod Doors is no longer in business. Fortunately their website is still up. It is very informative, so you can get some ideas from there- www.roddoors.com

Re: custom inner door panels .. anyone??
Did they come with the armrests like shown on roddoors site? I was always curious about that and was thinking about getting a set of them along with the rear panels they made for my Blazer.

E-mail me privatley and I'll hook ya up if need be.

Re: custom inner door panels .. anyone??
I love the door panels in my truck (my truck is the top picture). I'm glad I was able to get a set before the business shut down. I don't know how I would ever be able to make door panels that nice otherwise.
If you can score a pair GET THEM!!

Re: custom inner door panels .. anyone??
Those panels are super easy to install! Pre fit them BEFORE you have them covered. That way you can trim everything that need trimmed, then pick a material and go to town with 3M Upholstry adhesive!

Re: custom inner door panels .. anyone??
I did mine. Not really to custom but no one else has them. They aren't perfect but for a daily driver they will do.
Bought the board at a local uphostery shop. Cut the holes I needed then covered them. I used the Christmas tree's to keep it in place the screw were temperary while I fitted everything.
