Inside door panels of 73 Charger

Hello everybody;
I am not really sure if it is possible or not, but I decided to repair (or remake!) the door panels of my 73 Charger myself. I live in Iran, quite far, so despite the cost of the panels I need to pay a lot for the shipment. To do so your help is highly requested and appreciated. Does any body have the spread sheet drawing of the inside door panels of 73 Charger? If so, I can make it by metal sheet and wooden fiber myself and then cover it with sponge and high quality leather and sew the original patterns on them.

Thanks in advance - Pouria

I do know how to say. Maybe the fender codes can help:
P31 = Power Windows
G37 = Left hand remote, Right hand manual outside mirrors / Chrome
H6L3 = Trim grade HIGH, Trim style Vinyl Bucket Seats, Trim color Parchment
HL2 = Upper door frame color


Charger1973

Do you have any pictures of the car?

Pouria

I can take pictures. Do you need the picture of the doors or the vehicle itself?

Charger1973

The rear quarter window area would tell what style panels it should have.

Yeah, but the actual shape there is 2 different styles, is what I meant.  After we figure out what panels he needs, then he can determine if he wants the brougham trim or not.  ;)

konigcharger

the question is the rear window

does it look like this one?


or this one?

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Pouria

Mine is similar to the second picture.

41husk

My set will be different it is an SE like the first picture,

Yes, I live in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Far away, huh? ;) Classic American cars have many many fans in Iran and I myself am a dodge crazy ;D Most of these cars are being rusted because of the lack of spare parts. People like me are trying to save as much as them by a good rebuilt which always costs us very much. Consider that our monthly income is less than 1000$ and these projects always cost a few thousand! But what can do? Love is love! ;D That's why the help of all buddies here is very valuable for me. I really appreciate your support :cheers:

Yours - Pouria

Thats cool that you would go to that length to save a mopar. ;D

Highly appreciated, the pics seem to be part of a catalog. May I ask you send me the entire catalog to pouria_jamali@hotmail.com?

69CoronetRT

Those are actualy scans from a Color and Trim book, not a catalog.

I think those scans are some incomplete. My car is a hardtop and does have BROUGHAM upper panels. Not original from fact on my car but yes from a Canadian donor.

and yes, forgott to say the base model upper panels ( WL21 ) what are the same than hardtops ( WH23 ) but without woodgrain insert what is juts a added vinyl, but basically the same than hardtops regulars. The big difference is with broughams

TRUST ME RED INTERIOR LOOKS MEAN... I love those on E bodies and 2nd gens. I have seen JUST ONE 3RD GEN with complete red interior, was a 73 locally down here in Venezuela. Dunno if painted or not. What is more common here is vinyl interior parts ( headliner, seats, carpet, suvisors and upper panels ) in red and plastic parts in black including dash, moldings and tray. My buddy have one in that way all original and one I parted out was in that way too. Those are the parts I have.
