Thanks for the link to the ridesthatrock website! Some one who has gone thru a job like this has a better appreciation of the work it takes to have a nice car. It looks stunning.but back to the panels; can a person restore them if they are all chaulky? My panels on the front seats have like a 1/8 inch on them and the door panels aren't much better.One more question do the different years have different door panels or are they the same? Thanks
Different years are slightly different. As far as restoring chalky doors it's pretty hard to get a show quality finish, impossible basically. No grain, no quality. Mine came up great, but along the bottom and slightly up top there is a couple of smooth patches where the grain is thin from years of rubbing and use.
If they chalky area is small you will hardly see it once complete or you'd have to look real hard to find it.
Definitely worth giving it a go as the original panels give by far the best finish.
Do you have any photos of your panels?
