Where did you get your interior?
I found a site with interior door panels etc. etc. that still need upholstery.

Sounds like this site is a middle man, like most are but looks like it might be alright to use.
Any suggestions on this, or other sites to use?
Thanx in advance

Those look just like Rod Doors to me, we've used them before and they are alright, but the velcro stuff to attach them is a joke!! The best way to secure them is with "offset" clips from AuVeCo. I work for my dad in an upholstery shop and we've done tons of door panels. We just make our own, and we make them out of ABS plastic, with offset clips. Then they are like late model, you can take them off without tearing them up. As a matter of fact, I'm currently making a pair for a buddy's 56 who is in my truck club. We're doin the whole interior and making some other changes for him. email me at trucks1956@yahoo.com if you need anything further

Those "offset" clips by AuVeCo are the same ones Ford used in all their 60's cars right? At least thats what they look like from the AuVeCo site (p/n 10780). When I've worked on door panels on our 65/66 mustangs, I've always had problems with those tearing through the door panel, rather than pulling out of the hole in the door. Is this a problem with the ABS? I have 1/8" ABS panels I cut myself and was planning on using "dual-lock" (probably similar to the rod doors velcro) to attach my panels. I used about a 1" by 3/4" strip of the dual-lock just to mock up my panels and final shape the edges and it held the door panel in amazingly well. That stuff was super strong. Truxx1956 what was your experience with the velcro type stuff? Did it not hold or something?
This is the dual lock stuff:
