RE: {Chrysler 300} Searching for 1962 300 Black door panels.

When I did the restorations on the 1964 300K Coupe and Convertible in the 1980’s what I did was to purchase new door panel material from RS&S.

I cut and built new panels and transferred the steel upper parts to the new panel. I then used a razor and removed the embossed – mylar section and carefully lifted it off of the old panel. We reupholstered the new panel and then placed the old center section over it. The stainless trim, at least for 1964, then hid the seam.

I do not know if such a procedure would work on a ’62 or not.

The front panels on the new ’64 will need to be rebuilt. The rears look ok. So, I will be doing my 3^rd set of front panels sometime in the next year two decades or more after the first two sets.

In our similar 300K convertible, I was able to obtain decent 2DHT rear side panels from a 300K parts coupe and cut the panels down to work just fine in my convertible. The 2DHT panels had a little kickup at the C pillar that is not present in the convertibles. Just match P/Windows, or not and carefully cut the Masonite panel. Leaving enough vinyl to wrap over the top. Some is hidden behind the top rack enclosure.

Hi 300 members,

Does anyone have a nice decent set of BLACK, 1962 Chrysler 300 door panels that they are willing to part with ?

They would be for my 300 Sport Convertible with non-electric windows.

Wondering if the convertible and the 2 door hardtop rear panels would be the same.

Bye and have a great day !!!
