where is good place to get the upper door pads redone. I have the old ones but the vinyl is all cracked and faded.

Redone?  http://www.justdashes.com/  Get ready to spend $$$.

Repro?  B/E & A have the best dash pads.  They also make upper door pads but Legendary does also and I have heard they look a little better.  I bought Legendary and have not personally seen a B/E & A upper door pad so it's only here say.  I bought Legendary because they sold it in Charcoal and B/E & A only sold in black.

I took my upper door panels to a local upholstery shop that does great work, $75 each

He couldnt match the origanal white so I decided to go with black with black arm rest so it would some what blend in together.

That looks pretty damn good for 75 bucks!

Color matching can be a pain, better to get real close to it and then paint the door panels, uppers and armrests in the same off white.  If you get close enough you won't be able to tell the difference between doors and seats.  If you try to match adjoining pieces then you have to be dead on and white is one of the trickier to get right.
