pouring it right nowThumbs%20Up. looks great. one difference i see is that on the panels for my 75 they don't have the two screws at the top sides. they hook on top by window and only the clips hold them on.  got me wondering now if mine are supposed to have them too. damn now i am pouring myself a drink tooWits%20End eddie208752007-05-19 18:05:03

Looks great Kevin. Man, that's a great feeling seeing the results of hard labor. Looks like you might be an "interior" man. Nice job!

You guys were right. The second one went much better and faster. I was actually able to LEARN from previous mistakes. Imagine that!!

eddie20875(david), I recently took my door panels off my 76, they were the delux panels,and also had no screws in the panel, now I'm wondering
do they use the clips and screws or just the 5 pairs of velcro clips. The
previous owner had them glued on, I had some time getting the panels off. I would like to remount them correctly. Does ant one know the correct
way

[/QUOTE]

can't go by how i got the car as po and others used glue and had screws where there shouldn't have been.. when i installed my new panels the veco tabs latched and i installed the clips on the two sides of doors.  they stayed on perfectly. maybe earlier years had the screws on the top side too. unless i find out different i will leave them the way they are. didn't mean to step on this thread and as stated before , you did a great job.
