SMS 2325 Southeast 10th AVe., Portland, OR 97214 503-234-1175 or fax 503-234-0651  They can redo just about any door panel you want. They can heat press patterns into vinyl as original.  As I recall, the 62's don't have patterning in the vinyl, but maybe the 4 doors are different from the 2's and convertibles.  Anyway, SMS would be able to do the forming correctly.

 

Plan ahead.  If you are dealing directly with them, plan on up to a year and perhaps more.  If you go through someone who does a fair amount of business with them, you may get your panel in 6 months or less.  This from personal experience. 13months for my 61 Imperial door panels and now on month 8 waiting for another set of 61 door panels.  Don't bother with Just Dashes.  They advertises that they will do door panels, but what they do is send them up to SMS.  BTW, SMS folks are very nice, but they are slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. 

 

Good luck.

Hello fellow land yachters,

 

 

    Anybody have an idea where I can get rear door panels for a 62 four door? Mine are shot. The re-upholstery man said he could re-do them but that they would be flat instead of formed. I would prefer to keep original.

 

  Feel free to email me privetly.

 

  Thanks,  Buck
