Panels came out great dude, I will be using this to do project 4TO8s panels!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks brother! 4TO8 is gonna be sweet 👌

[@jaysonescoe5799]

Yep just keep getting my new ride ready. !!! 😂😂😂

[@number1pappy]

Well...i ain't gonna lie! After watching this ,I would rather hand port and polish a set of heads! Lol! Suddenly 300 dollars sounds like money well spent! Who ever makes new door panels deserves every bit of that 300 dollars! Lol!!

[@jaydebc]

Man i spent an hr today preaching your name on big youtube car sites in chat. Hope it helps... Love the vids. !! Keep up the good work!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Man I appreciate that! I can’t thank you guys enough for all the support you give the channel 🙏 💯

[@bobfalfa76]

I do the same thing man, for both Brew2l and 50Tussin, best Fox Body channels out there by far. Best of both worlds.

You’ve been here supporting me from day one! I can’t thank you enough 🙏👌

[@chopperjoe2131]

Wasn’t the most exciting video but I watched from start to finish and learned something new. Respect ✊

[@peractuscoc7475]

Use the aluminum backup washers on those blind rivets so you get some support on backside of that soft board. Hanging right next to the rivets you grabbed at the store. You’ll get proper squish and hold much tighter over time 👍🏼

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Great info!! I forgot all about those!! Good looking out 🤟

[@florimshala1]

Man after my car was put out of service you give me hope to continue with to get it back up and running . Thank you for your time and videos

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

That’s what I love to hear! You got this brother!

[@applefordguy76]

Thanks for the vid! I attempted mine last week, but the vinyl was already cracked before I started. 😣 So I tried to make chicken salad outta chicken poop. Figure it was worth a try for how cheap they are.. And smoke grey panels are on backorder.

[@elvisreed365]

What year car did you get seats for the calypso car I like those ?

[@ponyupgarage2960]

I appreciate the work and you are right on time for me. My door handle broke a couple weeks ago so I had to remove my panel to fix it. Well it's so rotten that the push pins will not stay hooked in so my panel is flopping around. This is just the fix I need

[@JKWilson61]

House of Dula video was a great help to me doing mine. Don't forget the lock grommet when removing the vinyl. I did my rivets with the heads on the backer board side and used rivets with the big heads. The hold the backer really well. Map pocket panels are MUCH easier than carpeted! Great looking job!

[@80sfordguy]

I noticed brew2L kept trying to correct himself at the terminology of the pieces on these door panels. Since most often people that don’t know usually get the correct nomenclature wrong. So, just if anybody is curious here’s the correct names of everything as a trim & upholstery person would refer to them. The large scale of interior panels or pieces are called “trim panel” or their named after their function or mounting location. 1. The staples are 1/8” - 3/16” - 1/4” depending on the thickness of materials they need to go through. 2. Metal at the top is the “border plate”or “top plate”. 3. Any center piece within the panel is the “insert” or “appearance panel” usually fastened with staples or aluminum tabs or adhesive. 4. The cardboard piece is “trim paneling” or “panel board” usually 1/16” - 1/8” - 3/16”. 5. Top black material is the “border” or “top cover” usually fastened with adhesive, staples or crimped. 6. The leather is either “accent” or “main” usually cloth, vinyl, leather, valure, pleather (plastic imitation leather) or actual plastic. 7. The bottom piece is the “valence” or “lower border”. 8. The thin strips sewn to the edges of the carpet or vinyl are the “binding” or “rope cord”. 9. Handles are handles. 10. Pockets at bottom of the panels are “accessory pockets” or “lower/upper pockets”. 11. Top seal is the “window trim seal” or “upper seal”. The some of these names are included on the dash. 1. “Upper facia”, “lower facia”. 2. “Appearance cover” or “emblem”. 3. Dash is a “dash pad”. 4. Lower dash parts are “lower valance” or “lower dash panel”. 5. Panels at your feet are “kick panels”. 6. Rear quarter pieces are “quarter panel” and center pieces are “quarter panel insert”. 7. Triangle shaped panels by rear glass are “sail panels”. 8. Roof panel is “headliner” go figure right! 9. Rear dash is the “package tray”. 10. Any padding behind a panel or under your carpet is referred to as “juke padding” or “sound reduction”. 11. Any foam padding behind any panel is referred to as “scrim foam”. 12. Appearance covers at the bottom of the door on the carpet are “sill plate”. 13. Front, middle or rear vertical trim pieces named after the points their mounted to, “A pillar trim”, “B pillar trim” & “C pillar trim”. 14. All trim that holds up or mounts the headliner is “headliner trim”. 15. Lighting at the sides above or at shoulder height are “dome lights” or if individual switches are used “map lights”. Usually all trunk panels are “trunk lining” or just referred to as “trim panel” usually named after their mounting location or function.

Came out nice. Is that the same paint used on the dash? Thanks for that video mine is in need of restoring. Now I know what to do. I think lol

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Yes sir same stuff!

[@johndosh2469]

Thanks what I've been waiting for!!!! Wanna see some bad panels from sitting look at my video

[@scottharvey3054]

On my to do list also... not paying $400 for new ones..

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

The new ones don’t fit as good from what I’ve seen anyway. 🤦‍♂️

[@travisevans7502]

@@BREW2LFOXBODY that's why I went with TMI I seen that mentioned in the reviews for the cheaper ones mine fit great.

Just started working on my 89 GT its been sit for over 20 years. I cant wait to try refurbished my door pannels thanks for the tips and detail

[@alexgarza2759]

SEXY!! Damn that’s nice. Like you said. MONEY!

[@gamerfallout]

The only downside of making a Foxbody-focused KZbin channel is the fact its a niche topic. Thankfully its a relatively popular car. If LMR can get over 100k subscribers, I think you can as well. Keep up the great work. The best thing about a Foxbody is the community and you keep it alive. Thank you.

[@here0lamoe625]

I have an 82 fox. cant find taillights anywhere! Anyone know a good website?

[@travisevans7502]

I wish I could have done that to mine but one had a small rip by the door handle mine cost over $500 I looked at some of the cheaper ones but decided to go with TMI door panels

[@erikturner5073]

EXCELLENT video!! Also Foxcast media has a video that covers the alternative fit for the sagging door map pockets. Put that with this video and you have great content!!

[@mikegay8511]

Great job! I did watched House of Dulla restored his door panels. Every bit of info helps. That is something to look forward to when I get my future car. Keep the videos coming. I won't this car to be the best Cobra clone, to me and everybody.

[@machonycfordman4805]

I already bought new map pockets. For my door panels. But I am going to just buy new one's. And all the clip for them. And call it a wrap.

Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏

[@JM-tj2kl]

Good how too. Have 3 foxes and had others over the years and aside from putting new map pockets in never really knew or thought about deconstrucring the panel like that. Came out nice!

[@jpp9846]

Detailed enough B, great job! Yes, I seen both GFunk & Dula dabble with these and they do look like a PIA! But as you say, $30 opposed to $300? I say go w/$30👍 That interior is starting to look 🔥

[@jrh0369]

The OCD in me would have sanded and painted that metal piece.

Who needs new door panels when you can just buy supplies and refresh your own. Nice How to Video. It takes a lot of time and patience to do such a awesome job. Its just amazing how the Calypso Cobra is coming together. Nice job on the panel refresh!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thank you Russell I’m definitely proud of it

[@disegnosys]

Nice video and door panel looks money! You must be reading my mind because this is another project I need to do soon. You should have more SUBS because you bring value to the Foxbody community. I really appreciate your videos!

Always enjoy the vids. Thanks for sharing. Thought it would be tough, but its manageable. Now that Ive seen it done, time to give it a whirl.

Love the videos.. I definitely would have done that to mine but I have a tear in my vinyl.. is there a fix for that?? Keep up the good work

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks, not really a good fix out there IMO but if I had to try to repair it I would try epoxy on the back side of the vinyl first to try and hide the glue.

I like doing all my own work that I can, putting myself into my restore of the vehicle I'm working on, to have the pride knowing it was my hands that restored my vehicle. Can U tell me please the kit to order for redoing the door panels (mine will be different, being it's a convertible, and black interior) and who U ordered the kit from i.e. the boarding, window wiper, glue, rivets, colored spray to refinish? Probably already stated, I just wanna verify I order everything needed correctly, Thanks for the tutorial.
