IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFO
1964-65 Van Door Panels
COMPLETE
These panels are complete and ready to install (except as noted). All aspects are as close as
we could make them without the price having to be twice as much!
NOTE
The original panels had metal sleeves that were in the panels & the attaching screws went
through these sleeves. Our panels do not have these sleeves – also because we've found
considerable screw location variation from van to van.
We DO NOT make the holes for the screws. We DO mark the normal location on the back of
the panel – you can check your screw location & then use a small drill to create a starter hole
for the screws. The screws below "for repro panels" have a "washer head" that creates the
same effect of the original "sleeve" & helps prevent the screw from going into the panel too
far. HANG THE PANEL ON THE RETAINERS – THEN INSTALL THE SCREWS TO THE POINT
THAT THEY ARE JUST FLUSH WITH THE VINYL.
COLORS
If we've made an interior for you in the past & you want the vinyl to match, please send us a
small sample from underneath one of the seats. We cannot supply all the original colors.
COLOR SURCHARGE????
A few of the original colors/original grain vinyls are very expensive – if you want these
particular colors, it may add 25-35% more to the overall cost of the panels.
INSERTS
These are just as good as we can do but please note – these are the most difficult of any
embossing we've done since 1984!!! It is possible that the seal seams may be slightly off or
have a slight "double hit". If it looks OK from 3 feet away – it will be considered acceptable.
This whole project is basically a "labor of love", but sometimes "love" has to overlook minor
"imperfections".
RETAINER CLIPS
The original panels were "hung" on special clips (which work with these reproduction panels).
Our replacement CLIPS are made of stainless & work great – on originals or repros.
"8 door" requires 18 clips
"6 door" requires 22 clips
Front door only – requires 3 clips per side
Clips C10743 1 oz.
CRINKLY VINYL INCLUDED
All panels except the rear side & the rear most doors include the original style "crinkly" vinyl
sealed to the bottoms like the originals.
