As far as the chrome strips go, could you use whatever it is you used on the other panel?

Yes, the metal ones can be used...but you would have to have a pair on hand as I cannot reproduce them without a significant capital investment in tooling.

Salvage yards, ebay, the parts wanted section here and FSJ parts for sale/wanted on Facebook. The bars are often bent or missing so finding good ones can be tough at times.

Yes, I could make a pair for you easy enough. The problem is figuring out what a fair price will be. When I do, I'll contact Stuka to set up a vendor thread and post options and prices.
Thanks for your interest MM and I hope I can help you out soon.

That would be great!
The front seats got two of them and the rear got 4 I recall. If they can produce those in 30" lengths and in the factory colors many would be happy.
If someone could reproduce the metal bars I am sure there are quite a few people who would buy them, including me.

Ill get you in contact with them if i ever buy them. They said they can make new tooling for them. The seats and door panels use the same width measurements. Im going to send them a sample piece so they can replicate it exactly

Can't wait for you to get to the early panels. Be nice to see the base model early-mid 60's panel. Should be easier to do than the Custom panel.

I'd love to do a Super Wagoneer 1414X panel but haven't even seen an original to copy.
Dude, you have my total respect. Well. done. I'm nearly speechless. Seriously.

Also. I may be able to help with the 1414X and 1414D originals for you to copy if you'd like.

That would be great 66. Good photos and measurements would be very helpful since I have yet to find any for patterns.
