Anybody know where is a good place to have upper door pads done. The local guy said he cant do it like the original.

Just Dashes will do them. I think the price was around $600 last year.

Just dashes did mine in blue it cost me right at $700 with shipping for all four they did a nice job but what ever time span they give you add 2 months and you will be about on schedule.

I've never been impressed with Just Dashes. The quality just does not match their outlandish prices. Your best bet is to buy some nice ones off Ebay (probably cost waaaaay less than $700) and then dye them with the SEM color of your choice. SEM is awesome.

If you have black I would agree,  but it is real hard to find something in color in decent shape.  I looked for a long time before I sent mine in.

I have pearl white in my 68

I agree bull.  I use SEM and have no complaints.  I just take an interior piece down to the local paint shop and there's a guy there that does a fantastic job matching.

Just Dashes is as bad as year one, they don't care about 'helping' restore your car, they only car about ripping you a new asshole. I hate year one, paddock saves you a few bucks here and there on parts, A-1 customer service, and have always been cheap on shipping even on oversized items... one time I bought 3 oversized items and shipped them for the price of one oversized item. And 700 bucks to 'restore' upper door pads is stupid, mine has a couple of flaws and they will stay there before i pay those predators 700 bucks. I wish companies like that (year one and just dashes) would go belly-up, but of course they won't, cause of the highway robbery they continue to commit. just my :Twocents:

I have some nice Saddle fronts and rears for a 69. ;D ;)

Here's a webpage for SEM products: http://vinylpro.safeshopper.com/29/cat29.htm?970 Ask around and I bet you'll find someone who knows which SEM white matches yours.

The 68 Pearl White is a pain to match, I had mine redone here local for half the price
of just dashes and they look great with hard to find NOS material.

I have no problem with Just Dashes as a whole.  If you have a set of pads that need to be restored instead of just re-colored, they are about the only game in town.  The only problem I have with their work is that you lose some of the detail in the piece.  I had a set of upper door pads redone by them about eight years ago.  Cost about $500 then.  They did a very good job and the color was a perfect match.  The detail just didn't look quite as crisp.  Same thing for the center console cover pad for my 66.  I didn't think the $125 they wanted to re-do it was too bad, but, the detail on the edges isn't as crisp as it should be.
