I ordered the complete set in white for the Cuda, they got here this week and they look great, now I just need some warm weather so I can paint my seat frames and install the interior.

I ordered mine friday. Complete set with seat backs. Black. Challenger. Don't have my income tax back yet - but everytime I wait a little bit until I can afford it, something comes up. Like Out Of Parts. Or I''m not making these anymore or some stuff. My originals had ugly speaker holes cut in them by the original owner, and it looked like whoever it was had kids that like to kick and scuff the snot out of things! lol. And a few small cracks here and there. This is relatively a very small run on these panels. I want a nice looking car to drive. Danged if you do- danged if you don't! lol. A buddy just got a very nice gaming laptop. He told me the price, and I said DAYUM! You could have got some door panels for that! lol (he's not a car guy) He didn't get it! lol.

I hope these sell to the bare walls, then Joel (Metro) will have some decent cash flow and can work on getting Cuda convertible rears out. Yeah, I know I sound like a broken record but my door panels are getting lonely in the basement. My crappy rears would look sooooo out of place with the pristine Metro door panels.

Got my new seatbacks a few days ago from Dave and they look fantasic. I can't tell them apart from my originals except for the age. I too would love to have a set of Cuda vert rear panels to go with the new door panels and seat backs I bought.  Thanks Dave, and Metro !

Oh man. Mine showed up on Wednesday and they look perfect. The quality is awesome. There was only one thing unexpected. There are holes for the wood inserts on the door panels and my originals didn't have inserts. Not really a problem, just wasn't expecting. Thanks for all the work to make these a reality.

I thought all Challengers had the wood inserts. Your door panel was just bare with no holes?

Yep, see below. I also found one installation screw hole that is in a different spot on the quarter panel than on my original. The blue-green one is the original and the white one is new. Not sure if I'm going to drill the proper hole and/or simply find a white plug for the other hole. You can see that the blue panel has the hole about a couple inches away from the window seal but the white one has the hole right next to the seal.

One other question. Is there something that goes behind the quarter panel near the floor. I have a vague recollection that there is but I don't remember. There's a screw hole down there that's not visible when the seat is in so I suspect it goes into something. Any thoughts on what it is or have a picture?

It's been a little while since I had my rear quarter panels off, but I seem to remember a 90* bracket near the floor for panel attachment. My panel attaches near the window seal like the white one. Bear in mind, my Challenger is a '73, not a '70.

 Mine are bare also. Not exactly sure what option included them.

My white Challenger panels were ordered last week so should be here Tuesday. I can't wait as the other reproductions were just not even close.

 :bananasmi Just got off the phone with Dave and placed my order for front an rear (Blk) for my 70 Challenger. Even though I am no way near ready for the interior, I did not want to miss out on these panels. I should get them in 7-10 working days. Looking forward to it. Thankyou Dave and I enjoyed talking to you.

I would be second in line.

update.   Cuda black door and white rears are sold out here and at metro. Red and Blue sets are good, Challenger all colors we are good on black -red- white and blue.

Had conversation with Metro on doing ****A-posts ****and ALSO the *******convert rear panels*******.i know Kenny has stirred the fire up here and on moparts so we will see. Discussions are in the works with high probability.NO promise on colors other than what is already being done.
