I'm looking for some new ideas for my door panels.  so that's why I ask for a new "show your _____"

Hope to see some nice eye catcher interiors...  :P

looking good.

What about armrests?  do it or leave it?  My car is a 72 but i don't like the look of these young armrests.  is there a possibility that I use older models?  Are the holes in de door panel the same?

I am planning to fab up some type of armrest in the future. I have put early armrests on later cars, you just need to fabricate a small bracket on the door. Look at how a early car is set up and you will see, its not hard.

It is Ford truck/van fabric. It was used from the late '70s to the early 90's I think. It really goes well with the grey vinyl and German square weave carpet.

You could use Empi door pulls? Or something period - I use Rover P6 ones in my bug.

yeah,  I'm planning to use a set of empi doorpulls but then the problem is when I completely remove my armrests I have holes in the doorpanels...  :-\
So I'm looking to replace them with a nice 60-ies model...
