I agree with the comments,Moss vs Heritage kits,Hertiage 's do look
better. I did a moss kit since at the time I did not know about
Heritage,having the seats and pans done by a professional shop.
I do disagree a little on the door panels,that they are not for the
average guy to do. If your wife is a quilter or you know someone who
is and is willing to give a hand they are not too bad to do at all.
When I did mine several years ago I cut new panels from fibre board
using the old cardboard as a pattern. My wife than went to JO Anns
fibre store,(a national chain) and purchased quilt batting and
vinyl. I cut the vinyl to rough shape and took it and the old
leather to a shoe maker who put the stitching on following the original
pattern.
The thing to be careful with is cut much more material than you expect
to use. Using 3Ms adhesive and lots of patient cutting and fitting it
took us about a morning to do each door.
True,they are not leather, but for the money they look good if kept
cleaned and polished.
