USA1 Industries door panels

[kkgp81]

I’ve had these on the shelf for several months now and dug them out for a look as I never even opened the box. I ordered a set of skins from LMC but getting here they seem meh. I know there’s a lot of crapping on USA about shipping times but based off door panels it’s probably worth it. I may dig the dash out that took a year to get here on Sunday and see how she measures up to a couple others I have around

As a side note, carpet for this came from LMC and I’m a little disappointed in the fit. I’ve tried the sun, I’ve tried in the sun in the truck.

Can’t say anything good about USA-1. It’s worth the $500 bucks they haven’t paid me back to see them go out of business.

Just a PSA for the future. Thank you.

Yeah, I could see that being an issue. I think in the dash post there is someone else that has been waiting on a check with a lot of run around for a minute.

I see LMC as kind of a Walmart - they'll have what you want just dont expect Lloyds of London quality. The USA panels come loaded (whenever they come). The LMC panels are ala cart. Gotta order every trim detail and install them yourself. I did get a dash from USA in under a year - got lucky (probably an order from the Nixon era that was forgot). Bought the interior paint from USA - that was practically an overnight shipment of 4 months. It makes the LMC panels match and with all the chrome strips and trims, they look pretty good. I think @FireTruck1984 had them in his truck - looked nice. The price was right enough that if I decided to try and mod one and didn't like it, I knew I could order another easy enough and swap the trims out.

Cant remember where I got my carpet (iirc I posted it in a thread here somewhere) - was a place that auto-truck carpet was all they did. Is WAY nicer than anything these one-stop shops would carry and fits like it should.

On the USA 1 panel, is the area behind the velour insert flat or does it have the bump shapes like the LMC panel? The originals had a "pocket" molded into the door panel for the fabric insert to sit. Other recent repop stuff had you stick the fabric covered piece over the molded bump shapes and looked stupid in my mind. I heard USA 1 (really whoever makes the stuff for them) recently changed this.

Thanks.

Pretty sure it is inset. I think they are using these as a base.

When renewing the interior of your classic, you may notice that many of the plastic pieces have begun to deteriorate or crack over the years. One common area is the door panels. These door panel inserts are made with high-quality injection-molded ABS using original patterns and designs giving...
