Once the current panels are in production I plan on reproducing a few others which thankfully will take less time to RnD:
Mid 70s Wagoneer front and rear
Image
88-91 Grand Wagoneer (By request from WagonMasters)
Image

and one of the toughest designs to reproduce, the 70-72 Wagoneer 'Rectangle' pattern.
Image

And the Holy Grail of early Wagon door panel goodness,
Image

I'd love to do a Super Wagoneer 1414X panel but haven't even seen an original to copy.

if you get that last one figured out, and can do it in various colors, i would be down for a set of fronts and rears without the holes cut out. That is the coolest version!

I've an 84 model and would be up for a set of 88-91s in caramel (I think) when you are doing them. Thank you for this effort

I have a pair of nice panels for the 84s in Nutmeg that will make excellent patterns. It will be some time before I get to them but the wait will be worth it.

:-bd Good deal. Mine aren't too bad (worst is bottom of driver's door), but my seats are a newer model that is darker hue than the original almond the panels and carpet are. Gonna do the darker theme throughout.

Finally!
After far too much time spent on redoing just about every aspect of production I finished my first door panel.
There are some minor flaws but this set is going on my Chief so I won't sweat it.

The detail lines and gills came out even better than I had hoped. The vinyl I chose is a double bonded type with a 70% recycled leather backing that stretches perfectly and has a finish that is the closest to the OEM as I've been able to source.
I'll install this panel as soon as I locate the armrest that went missing...
What do you think?

Jim

Thanks guys!
Musicmaster, that one is doable but SAVE that Cherokee strip...it's very important.
What year did that come off of?

Interesting. That's the 2nd panel I've seen with the fine gill lines. I'm thinking AMC went with an alternate vendor for panels during the 75-76 model years.

I would have you send that strip. The other thing I noticed is your chrome trim bars appear to be plastic. I haven't seen any myself after all the wrecking yard visits I've made. Finding good replacements may be difficult.
