Door Panels for the ‘55
The ‘55 needed some some door panels, well specifically, it needed some side panels in the back seat area. The car is a utility sedan (no back seat, rear side windows don’t roll down) but has a back seat put in (well, wired with baling wire). The original carpet is long gone and the bare metal is dangerous for the passengers (my kids and brave hitchikers). I decided to do all the side panels at once, because the door panels were pretty ratty.
I wanted to eventually put carpet on the floor, so I went to Home Depot and found some nice, short knapp, dark green indoor/outdoor carpet for the floor. They also had some runner carpet in the same color, but with a pattern shaved into it. I thought this would look nice on the door panels, especially with the interior metal work eventually done with House of Kolor green marblizing (left over from my trike).
