<VV> door panels for eum--advice needed

[Mark J. Murphy]

Go for it!  I have done "custom" door panels before in mucho cheapo fashion,
and they really aren't all that tough.  Mine involved old wood-look hollow
masonite door faces onto which I traced the decayed EM door panels, cut,
finished with pinch-weld trim and mounted (complete with arm rests).  Made
some dash overlays and I had a custom "walnut" interior that didn't look
half bad.  :)  Covering them is tougher as the material likes to bunch in
the curves, but if you have a trim shop on the case already all you really
need is the board in the right shape and it should come out fine and will be
what you want color-wise.

> I am thinking (a dangerous thing to do) that I might just get unfinished
door panels from Clark's and let my trim shop guy to something custom on
them.
