The material is tweed. I love the way tweed looks and feels. I cannot guarantee all materials will mold the way tweed does so take caution if you decide to use a different material. You simply get a piece of material large enough (leave an inch or so on each side for wrapping the material around the edge) to cover the panel and spray contact cement on the outside of the door and the inside of the material. Give it a chance to dry (as per cement instructions) and flip the panel and place (glue down) on top of the material (glue up) and press down hard to make the glue bond. (Try to keep the panel parallel with the grain of the tweed.) Spray a little contact cement on the back edges of the panel and the outside edge of the material. Give that a chance to dry and fold the edges of the material over the edge and adhere it to the back. Trim and cut material as needed for a clean wrap. Flip the panel over and start moulding the material into the grooves and contours. Ta dah! You're done. Hope my instructions make sence. D

Re: Lets see your door panels
These are what I did. I went and got the panel material and covered them myself. Nothing spectacular but it works for me.

Re: Lets see your door panels
These are pleated door panels sewed to a 1/4" foam backing... And the door pull/armrest is from a 1970 Monte Carlo...........Jim

Re: Lets see your door panels
You can buy these from Classic Parts or LMC. The Venders here can probably get them also.
