Fixed up my door panels
 

Well I finally got around to working on my door panels. The old trim was peeling back and I was tired of it. I got some aluminum diamond plate and made my own. I still need to get some bolts to secure it and cut out the window hole. I am hoping to get them finished up this weekend. Here is what I have so far!!

Looks good

Yeah, looks heavy duty

that looks great, i see youre from arkansas, im from clarksville

That looks really good, wish i would of thought of that, i know what im looking into, only downside probably be a bit cool in the winter.

Looks great! :)
Have fun workin' on your truck!:-X25

Looks good. Will the diamond plate rub your skin off every time you roll the windows up/down? ;)

I don't think so, it isn't that rough. Even if it is a little rough, nothing a sander can't take care of!

Man that looks really nice.

To cool, thanks for the idea to fix the same problem on my 79. Finished product pix please, want to see what hardware you use to attach it.

Man if you made those things up and sold them on eBay you could make some money for parts and other things for yourself.

I made some extra DP stuff when I made it for my Samurai and made some good cash off it.

Alright, finally got to finish them up tonight. I noticed that the window crank area stuck out a little farther than the other spots. So nothing a little cutting with a dremel couldn't fix.

Next I went and bought some 1/2" long screws and got some washed about 1/2" across.

I decided to only put in 6 bolts on each panel. I marked the holes I wanted with a marker.

Once I drilled out the holes there was some excess material on the other side. I took a 1/2" drill bit and used that to cut it off and on the areas that the hole came out on a diamond it filed it down some for the screw to fit in.

And here is the final product. Nice and heavy!! I will get some pics of them on the door tomorrow.

That looks awesome! I bet it'll feel cold in the winter mornings though :) But seriously, that's a really creative idea.
