Shameless advertising! I accumulated a few parts for a SS396 project but the car has fallen through my hands! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Thanks for the "heads up" Rick. I don't need them but I know a fellow TCer who does and I think he is bidding or plans to.

Now, if somebody out there has a set of 69 300 Deluxe Post Coupe door panels in excellent condition - I'm interested. My vinyl is just fine but the horizontal trim needs redoing and the trim cannot be removed from the panel. I guess I will just keep on dreaming and dreaming and dreaming [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

About all you can do is use your old door panels or use the Malibu reproduction pieces which are not correct for a 300 Deluxe. The hardtop door panels differ from the post pieces in the vent window area.

I think my buddy Keith has pretty much covered your question. Not enough 300 Deluxe Post Coupes around to warrant the R & D for reproducing the door panels I guess. As mentioned in my previous thread, I will just keep dreaming and hoping that some day (before I pass on) a set just might show up on eBay [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i could buy unassembled malibu panels and take those and my originals to an uphostrey shop and you think they could use the originals to form the malibu panels to fit my car. the only thing i am not sure about is the vent window handles?? i would probabaly just have to cut holes huh?

They probably could, but you would still have the wrong design. However, it may be more economical to do that then have your original panels professionaly redone. A place like Just Dashes is where I will likely send mine some day. I understand they do great work, but are expensive.

Hey Don,

I had a nice set of black 300 door panels that I sold off last year...wish I would have known your car needed them. I bought a bunch of post parts a few years ago for a '69 L78 project but the owner wouldn't come off a price I felt was too high.
Jeff, hope you enjoy the weatherstrips. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
