Who Makes the Best E-Body Repo Interior panels ?

Just wondering, since I'm told that there's a few different makes out there.

Anyone use'em ?? How much $$ ?

If they made'em 38 years ago, how come we can't make an EXACT replica in the year 2008 ??

OK....Palco is generally considered to be better than the other (I forget the other name). On a scale of 10 the Palco's are about a TWO. The other is ONE.
Sorry, but the repops are truly pieces of garbage. They don't fit right, they don't look right, they don't feel right, they don't sound right.....etc. You're better of holding out for a set of used, or getting a used set recovered with the thermoform covering.
The repops are not much of an alternative.

"Recovered with the thermoform covering"

What's that ?? Is that something new ?? Wouldn't that add a "thickness" to the panels, and make them rub as the doors close because of the added layer, or am I completely off-base ??
Who does that covering ??

Just a guess, but I'm betting he means having them done by Just Dashes.

I have seen the Palcos....not very good
That was two years ago.

I had mine for the Barracuda redone by Just dashes.
Be aware though it does add a little thickness to them so it may take a bit massaging to get them to fit good. Although not perfect match to original I am happy with them.
If go this route it is not cheap.


What was I thinking....
