I Made Custom Door Panels for My Trans Am

[@benhickman5492]

100% answered the questions I had about fixing my '84 anniversary edition door cards. Thanks!!!!!! Your videos have helped me a lot on my build.

[@rockettfabolous]

YESS FINALLY 😭 THE TRANS AM IS BACK 🐓

[@michaelhanewich245]

Hawks motorsports sells re-pop top rails for door cards. They fit like OEM on mine.

[@jameshall4385]

Looks awesome. If you can find a company that can embroider a firebird logo on the suede area, that would really make it pop.

[@nw_po]

Was re watching all your trans am videos wishing for a new one and you delivered

[@johnnylevansjr6633]

I love that you stuck with the trans am. Enjoy seeing all the videos. Keep up the great work. Happy holidays!

[@davidwiley652]

First off, thank you, thank you, thank you for the Trans Am content. How. KLEIN have a 10 in 1 screwdriver that perfect for those backwards speed nut. You use it without a actual bit in the octagon sleeve. The octagon sleeve fit in that speed nut like it was made for it.

[@geoffreyb3337]

Man, I can’t wait for the next video. Those turned out amazing by the way can’t wait for more content. I know it’s hard to get videos out. Just really enjoy your content, buddy.

[@fgamble3]

Lots of patience for sure!

[@jackbrennan8476]

Nice job with the panels

[@michealrobinson]

Look amazing! Can't wait to see them in the car!

[@dosgos]

Those panels look incredible. That guy from Detroit who does the GM videos said that the expensive door panels typically had shag carpeting. I suppose that dampens sound, reduces scuffs, and can look good in some cases, but is a lot of design work.

[@mattm5786]

Those are going to look sweet Matt!

[@Vaino_Hotti]

Padded materials are the way to go for good results. I could not find proper burgundy headliner material for C-pillar trims in my Mercury, so I used thin foam and non-lined suede. Problem was that the glue soaked through the foam and pressing them to adhere properly left indentations in the foam that wouldn't pop back up.

[@rickkimble8634]

drill a hole through the end of a 6mm allen wrench work perfect for the speed nuts upsidedown

[@domib3873]

Cant wait too see them in the car

[@petecolone5125]

Very very nice. Dye the map pocket black and call it good.

[@jennyloughry896]

Great job, Matt!! Looks great!!

[@robertappleyard7053]

Yes! Early Christmas gift!

[@mikeeaton9822]

[@juliocruz4184]

[@stevenayala2324]

Hell yea be Matt do your thing

[@ledbased1589]

i was literally looking at getting new door panels for my 84 Trans Am last night. Thank you.

[@BigIsleJ]

Nice job Matt!

[@Se7enMiIe]

If you want to keep the 2 tone colorway look up a local sewing business. They can replicate this easily and for cheap. Left some patio furniture out and ruined the seats, local lady redid them in a hour for $100

[@McWilliams93]

Daddy’s back!

[@jimmycapps3653]

Awesome video Matt. Thank you

[@michaelhanewich245]

Those snap ring pliers are exactly what I used on the speed nuts to assemble new top rails to new door cards.

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

I always use a set of needle nose vice grips to gently grab the outside of the nut from the top

[@straightlineautobody]

Bevel the crack both sides... kitty hair or fiberglass it.. reupholster... -at least till a newer comes along ❤

[@megumei044]

They look great! Can't wait to see the full interior video.

[@aldrichg9]

Looks great!!

[@ladariusmastin]

Looks good bro

[@kevinstrange9050]

I did the exact thing for my Camaro. If I remember correctly the cheaper board was like 6$ each at Home Depot and works great

[@danebhardt7109]

Turned out nice.

[@Dirtydeviantjbyrd]

Kuafu sells them on the Amazon lol awesome video sir I'm preparing to do my 79 TA front trans seal

[@dosgos]

We used 2-part epoxy to glue the hard plastics to the backing board on our Astra door panels. Needed to clamp for 24 hours in a warm room.

[@blt2drive492]

Black 30 min epoxy panel bond from the automotive paint store for the top plastic piece... Need the special gun and a bag of nozzles. I use that on everything. Leave nozzle on after. Next time you need it, twist off 'set' epoxied nozzle & put a new one on and go again.Weeks or months later... I swear by it.

[@omarzowila]

We need more Escalade and Tahoe content

[@omarjarad.8053]

Very nice 👌

[@roycervantes1341]

Yeee Yeee 😊😊😊😊

[@notchbackgta]

Snap On actually does make a tool for those trim nuts. I can try to find the part number if you really want to buy it

[@jeffreyshepherd8488]

Glad to see the trans am back!! But also, when you doing the next rage against rust video?

[@mic599]

Niiiice !

[@omarjarad.8053]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jennyloughry896]

Did you think about doing it all in suede? Different shades? Maybe gray on black?

[@Geoffwhite18]

I have the chopped flag in my garage next to my fiero!

[@carlosgutierrez3968]

eBay sells the top rail door panels with a felt for 150 bucks

[@yunuskhan7752]

what did you use first that black trim piece?

[@ShaneOshow]

Matt, what size wheel are you running on the Firebird?

[@aldrichg9]

Did you ever find a good tool for removal of those nuts?

[@burgerzz09s51]

Well it looks like I'm going to be searching for that L piece molding for the next year or so. I don't know any other way to make a nice border between the fabric.

[@kadent7320]

Matt… From your tahiti video from 4 years ago “steering clunk” how are those eBay parts holding up till now? Considering purchasing them myself for my 06 Silverado.

[@leonardcrisci7254]

I did something similar to my mustang

[@Matt-co6bc]

Where is tahitiiiiii

[@domib3873]

You just gave me hope for my T/A door panels... with a custom twist fucking nice🫡

[@nealzabriskie9106]

Looks great!!
