I have a ’73 Dart Swinger. The door panels that are currently in it are ones that someone has just recovered with other vinyl and screwed directly to the metal of the door through the face leaving the screws exposed. I don’t like how this looks and am thinking about redoing some door panels of my own and using the regular door clips to hold the panel on. Do you guys know of anyone that sells just the hardboard panel that has the clip locations and other holes already where they need to be and I could just recover myself to match the rest of the interior? I've looked around FABO and can't seem to find any answers. I’ve been trying to look around the internet and not having any luck either. I haven’t even been able to find any sort of template that would even tell me where the clips should be located. If there were some sort of template I could just cut my own board and put the clips where they are supposed to be. Thank you for any help!

I had to make panels for my 52.
I taped up thin packing type paper to locate all the cutouts and locate all holes to transfer to the door cards which I also had to cut to fit.
You can buy this card material from restoration specialties, I believe.
Good luck.

If your current cards are factory and just recovered, your patterns are already there.:D

I was hoping that it was just the originals recovered but they are not. That would be too easy :lol:
