door panels 70-75
Well, I have a door panel question. I'm looking at an Ames catalog. I have access to three sets of doors. Two 71' cars and one 75' car. All doors are about the same condition 4/5. I was planning on doing a 71' T/A clone. Unfortunately, the 71' cars are going to be a monster to get the doors off because of different factors: location, can't access the fenders because car is hit in front, doors are locked and owner doesn't have keys and doesn't want to bust glass out etc. SO........the 75' doors are easy to get to, no front clip either. Here's my question. If I put the 75' doors on, I can use a 72-76 inner door panel; However, the door handle escutcheon for a 75'-76' will be in a different location, right? Looks like the pull strap is no problem; 70-76. Is it common to see at shows a 71-73 clone car with newer doors; incorrect door panels? I have everything else correct for an early T/A 71-73. Just hate the damn doors are going to blow everything. Thanks
