    any pics of the back panel pieces?
    I was thinking of getting my 1/4 pieces made but I want diamond plate aluminum so it may be asking too much

    Here is a picture, but they aren't riveted'/fitted in yet because they need some trimming around the wheel house.
    Also a picture of what they look like in a standard non-tub'd car.
    You can ask Scott, but my guess is he would say.....thanks but no thanks.

    Why would you want the inside to look like a trailer bed??????

    To my knowledge, there is only one company in North America capable of reproducing the Maverick door panels exactly like the factory did it, complete with the correct chrome trim, woodgrain or basketweave and that company is "Distinctive Industries". Perhaps if they were to receive enough phone calls inquiring about Maverick/Comet door panels, they may be inclined?
    Only serious callers should attempt because if they were made the price would be very close to 300 for a pair.

    Supply and demand..... If they see a demand from the Maverick community, it would help to get a supply.

    300 for the pair doesn't sound bad, do they do all the colors?

    i'd say so, too. especially if this is for a deluxe set with the woodgrain/comfortweave inserts.
    even early mustang pony interior panels run from 180 to 200!

    300 was a best guess judging what their distributors charge for the other lines they manufactuer, could very well cost more??
    Everyone reading these post about the door panels I encourage to call and ask them to please consider making the door panels for our cars. Numbers speak volumes in this situation.
    I even asked if I could be placed on a waiting list..LOL
