RE: [Chevelle-list] 1969 door panels & headliner

[John Nasta]

Ah, now your message makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for the idea about spraying the glue on the back edge of the sail panel boards. I donât know of any clips on the market for attaching sail panel boards. There is a metal ridge there that the board sits into pretty naturally. I show windlaces available for 1968-72 Chevelle/EC front, Chevelle rear, and EC rear, but no clips.   It would be great if you would measure that metal piece for the door panel. I think I am going to have to start by lining it up though, and seeing where the lock knob needs to come through, and stuff like that.   Thanks, John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 12:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 1969 door panels & headliner   In a message dated 3/22/2004 11:06:13 AM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The problem w/ the door panels is that I donât 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 donât 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. sorry i thought you asked about the sail panels- (how to attach the fabric to them-) that piece is cardboard, the top of the door panel is metal.
