70 Cuda Interior - Door Panels Supplier - 03/26/15 06:27 PM

I am replacing the interior door panels on my 70 Cuda, mainly because the rear quarter panels are falling apart.

Does anyone have experience with the quality of products that are out there so I know which I should avoid? I am looking for an OEM (or nearest to OEM) apperance in black with manual windows.

If you have a preferred supplier I would appreciate that lead!

Thanks in advance.

Stay away from the Palco brand. You want the ones made by Metro. Metro is no longer making car parts. Rosevillemoparts.com now has the rights to produce a lot of parts that Metro used to make. Call Dave at Roseville.

Thanks for the information. I called them and they are out of them for about 1 to 2 months.

Any other suppliers you all may know of?

I can attest to the quality of the Metro door panels. I am very impressed with the Barracuda rear panels that I recently purchased off of eBay for 55% off. My challenge now is finding a pair of blue front door panels for less than $600pr. Just not in the budget @ that price.

I can also attest to the poor quality of Palco panels. Fit and finish leave a lot to be desired, but I've been running them for almost 10 years due to them being the only game in town at that time.

Other companies sell the Metro panels as well. I think MCB does.

Not to jump this thread, but did Metro/Roseville make the seat backs? When I purchased my seat backs from Dente a couple summers ago, all that was available was Palco. I will say that they are not as bad as I thought they'd be.

Yes...Metro did produce the seatbacks. They are very nice!

I reached out to MCB a few weeks ago...no response.

Really kicking myself for not jumping on the front door panels when KlassicPart had them on Ebay for 50% off. They were on there for months...just kinda figured they would always be there. The next thing I know all 4pr were sold.
