Does anyone know who else may produce these ?...I'm chasing the type that Aardvarc Racing do but shipping cost alone from US to OZ ( as usual ) is pretty pricey...$125. Have emailed World Upholstery asking if they sell just the panel board + shipping cost but no response as yet. I want to give trimmer "cleanskins" so he doesn't have to stuff around making new ones from somewhat dodgy templates. Thanks, Simon
 
Ship by USPS- that's cheapest. I shipped Gary's last year to Brisbane area in a 1' x 2' x 4' box. Stuffed that box to the customs limit with goodies from the states.
Same price.
 
Hullo Aussiecsi
Can your trimmer replicate the specific 'pressings' in the material for the door trim panels,If so I need a set in black.

Hi Burky, I'm doing in leather so probably just stitching . It looks like World Upholstery in US have the type of panels you're chasing. No price listed but not cheap as I recall. Simon
 
Have you given thought to buying new ones made from wood - cut with a CNC router to exact size as the originals. There is a forum member who makes them. They are beautiful, I have a set, NOT for sale. It will cost you less to send pre-cut panels than blank boards since they are larger

...it's the pre-cut panels that I was chasing ; Dave from Aardvarc Racing has them but shipping was expensive to OZ . Is Dave the Forum member you're referring to ? I may have to pursue Don's shipping suggestion but not sure how I do that from downunder . Thanks, Simon
 
You need someone in OZ if it's the shipping cost that you have a problem with.
 
You should get all 5 pieces and ship via USPS. I have DHL, UPS and USPS access to OZ - cheapest is USPS.
Aardvark doesn't have the hat rack or rear pieces.
Last I heard there is another run ready.
Aardvark does have a good price on his
panels.
 
Thanks Don, yes, I agree Aardvarc panel price is fair . Hat Rack ?:) ....is that that the rear parcel shelf ? ...if so, mine is "as new" . Are you also saying that there are panels /boards available for rear ? ( not upholstered ) . Simon
 
Yes the price on 2 new door panels, Black, with the storage pocket and door, purchase price, shipping, exchange rate, aus taxes, not much change out of GULP $3000 Aus , all because someone wanted to listen to ABBA on their new panasonic speakers mounted through my door panels , Tragic.
 
I ordered two 5 piece sets from Terry Conners (srennoc on this board) last week. They don't get much better than his, we installed them on Mike Burger's coupe. Don- I assumed that's where you got yours. Is he sold out already?

Dave is NOT the guy I was referring to. Send a PM to SFDon and he can connect you
 
First ten sets sold- 10 more ordered.
I've shipped these to OZ
I will check on new ones for you.
Aardvark is good and cheap. But-
They only have fronts.
Terry makes all 5 pieces
I'm shipping to Gold Coast next week.

Thanks Don, sent you PM yesterday , which is probably "today" for you ...if that makes sense .
 
Update on door panels and 'hat rack' shelf. Terry Conners just took delivery of ten sets. Six sets are sold already, I just ordered mine.
these are CNC machined in 3 ply euro birch and 6 ply for the hat rack....same thickness as stock. they look great.
 
I have a set of the door panels and they are perfect. Buy with confidence as these are better than original
 
I just went to Terry's shop on Saturday, and wow, that place is freaking awesome. The door panels are absolutely perfect. He's got a few sets left I think.
