I wrote a little tutorial about removing the panels here. I promised that once I finished straightening the panels I would write about that as well. Please provide feedback so I can adjust the tutorial if some things don't make any sense. Thanks.

Another nice job. These two guides should get permanent link status in the FAQ.

I was thinking about water treatment too to loosen the set in the fiberboard, but I wasn't sure if the board would tolerate it without disintegrating into a crumbled mess. So, thanks for performing that experiment.

Nice writeup! Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed the post can you show us your finised panels when you get them installed
Thanks Chris

PS there was another guy who has done some incedible work that I found a link to on Norcal 928 website

Nice work. I'm going to keep this one for when it's interior time.

That has to be one of the most extensive, illustrated and detailed little tutorials I've ever seen!! Thank you for putting so much time into writing up both procedures. They are a great help.

Great write up......yet another project I need to do!

Giovanni

Scott,

Now I am intrigued as to what other projects you gonna be undertaking and sharing with us? What about a keyless alarm system, a Crimestopper 865 RKE II that is? :-))

Hey Gio,

We still need to get together so I can ride in your new rocket. How was dyno day with Woody?

To be honest with you... I'm not very mechanical. I love tinkering, but if you give me an engine problem, I'll be lost. I have a desire to learn though, and since this forum seems to be the place to do that I figured I would give back what little I can as I know I'll take far more.

I took these pics about 4 years ago when i did mine...just never added a page for it to my website.

I had the ruler out measuring and thought, heck...this will work fine!!!

Worked well!

Nice... I had seen a picture similar to that which gave me the idea for what I did. I actually first tried the ruler method, but my warp was wider than the ruler.

They aren't installed, but I figured you could see them better out of the car.



I got both panels and both A-pillars recovered for $300 out the door. I asked them not to cut out the holes for the stock speakers, but they did anyway. I've got the speakers and grilles so it's not that big of a deal though. I'm just happy I no longer have warped and mangled rear interior quarters. That was a major eyesore when the rest of the interior is in very good shape.

I think they did a good job for $300. Not outstanding. But good.

SharkSkin

Looking good! Can't wait to see the "after" pix...

Hey nice job Outlier, both on the re@re and the fix. I'm sure its gonna help out alot of folks. What with new panels costing a small fortune a little imagination goes a long way when restoring these cars!

I know this is a very old thread but a new problem for me. I'm trying to open the tutorials by Outlier but I'm not having any success. Any suggestions?
