I did a two tone paint job on my door panels in my 62 Dodge Dart 440 wagon. I used Lt. Blue & Dk. Blue SEM paint over red door panels with out a problem. be sure to get the SEM Vinyl Prep too, it softens up the surface for better adhesion.
My 62 Dodge door panels came with 2 chrome strips on them already? maybe this was for the higher trim level 440's and Polaras only? now I am not sure if the 330 interior has the chrome strips or not? and Plymouth cars I am not sure of ?
If your cars are 4 doors or 4 door hard tops? I have some extra door panels that are restorable, if your interested.they are not Plymouth but they should fit all the same, I think that's what they
did in Canada, put the Dodge trim in their Plymouths. otherwise your ideas sound great, so go for it. Schuyler 62 Dodge Dart 440 wagon w/ Poly 318 <http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-wrobel62.html>FYI - I Do the Decal designs for the Poly head 318 and more! email me with your needs -

go to flexchrome.com.. I bought the sample pack, if you live in the omaha area stop by and take a look... a wide variety of mouldings, not all chrome Jeff Adams wrote:I was thinking maybe some carpet along the bottom to hide it, like theearlier cars had. I'd be interested in seeing pics of your idea, too. Where can you get the flexchrome? I found 2 companies to make the doorpanels...$800 and $1000 and both are 6-8 months behind! 62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx wrote:I have the same problem with my door panels (crappy on the bottom) whatI was planning on doing;Paint the panels with SEM vinyl paint, find a contrasting color vinyl fabric for the bottom and hide the seam between the old vinyl and thenew vinyl with flexchrome molding.

Thanks spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote:If you don't mind non-original, you can take what you have to a good carupholstery shop and they can figure out what to do with the bottom. For example, put in a carpet-like piece like used in the '63 Polara 500 or amatching piece of vinyl with a stitch or molding border. 2c Gary H. -----Original Message-----Sorry for the OT post, but I need a good set of front door panels for a 68 Sport Fury. I'd prefer metallic red, but can dye them if necessary. Ican't find them new anywhere and my old ones are ate up along the bottom. Legenday and YearOne don't carry them. They have the seat covers, but no door panels...anybody have any ideas?
