I just received my door panels for my 69 Charger today from Chris at Online Upholstery And More. They look GREAT! I'm very pleased with the quality and workmanship of these panels. I bought all four door panels on eBay from Chris for $249. If your not performing a concourse restoration, my opinion these are the best looking Charger custom door panels out there. They have the right amount of padding, not too "poofy" like other custom door panels I've seen. Chris from Online Upholstery And More was very helpful on answering a few questions I had as well. My hat's of to you Chris... :cheers: :2thumbs:

Honestly ? I don't like.

sorry to be honest.

specially about map pocket finish!!! and lower rear quarter panel area... Is original that straight cut instead more curved ?

Hey Nacho, That's cool, you're entitled to your opinion. I respect that. I'm looking at it this way. I have a 69 R/T without numbers matching drive train and my original color combo was B7 medium Blue exterior with blue interior. I don't like the blue on blue. I changed the color to Keepat's 68 Charger, the Mercedes Benz Silver but with black interior that will look similar to Pete's (autodynamics) 69 Charger seats. I had built a stout 440 mated to a Keisler auto trans with a Dana with 4.10 out the back, 4 Disc Wilwood at all corners with a Hydroboost braking setup and 18" Wheels. I'm going for the "Pro Touring" look and performance. So, personally it doesn't matter if it looks completely correct. As long as it looks similar to a "stock" appearance. I'm going to drive the hell out of it.....! :2thumbs: :cheers: :icon_smile_big:

Thanks Pat! I hope my 69 comes out at least half as nice as yours! You, Pete(autodynamics), Mike (Mr.Angry), and Norway are my inspiration for my restoration.....  :cheers: :2thumbs: :icon_smile_big:

Thanks Nacho, that's cool  :2thumbs:  I know what you mean about the map pocket. There isn't a "finish" like the originals, but That's ok with me. I'll never use them anyway...  :cheers:

I have known Chris from Online Upholstery and More for many many years.  His uphostery is just as good as if not better quality than Legendary at a fraction of the price.  He is actually working on some other interior parts that are a nice replacement for areas that usually crack and dry out.  If you are not into a perfect concours type of resto and want some really nice close (but not exact) matching material, Chris is your guy.  His wife also does custom hand painted sign boards. :2thumbs:

Chris also told me that he is planning to sell full custom recline able seats for MoPars. I can't wait to see what he comes up with...  :icon_smile_big:

249 is a hell of a deal for show quality custom work like that.  They look great.

Chris is also in the close to final stages of reproing the 68-69 B body seat backs.  The fiber board ones that are usually deteriorated beyond belief and the current repro cardboard ones do not come with the metal hardware.  Chris is making black ABS plastic ones that come with the hardware molded into the piece.  The difference compared to the originals is that the new hardware is ABS plastic versus metal.

Chris is also close to production of the upper door pad covers that go over the top of the damaged pieces.  These of course are not for concours vehicles but will be a nice cheaper alternative to the concours pieces being repro'd now.  As soon as he gets pictures, he promsied me he would send me some to post on here.
