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.  ;)

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.

Thanks indeed. The pics and the measurements are  great help for me. These panels seem to be the rear panels, do you have any pics of the front door panels too?
