The problem w/ the door panels is that I don’t have the originals to look at. The ones Ron sent back to me (from a different car) had a metal plate attached to the top of the cardboard panel. Those plates are too long for my panels, and right now I have nothing to attach the top of the fabric, the door lock button escutcheon, or the window felts to. I am probably going to have to see if I can cut the top plates that I have down and make them fit. I honestly don’t know what cardboard you are referring to. Is that top piece supposed to be cardboard on a Chevelle? It seems to me that it should be metal, because you'd want to be able to lean on it w/o crushing it.
