I am preparing to re-do the door pockets in my 60 BE.
I have had the car for many decades just getting the restoration completed. I of course did not take photos nor can I locate my notes of the condition of the door pockets when I removed them.
As you can see from the photos these are the original pocket panel doors. Original fiber type board with cardboard attached for the material to capture the "indent".
What I can't recall is how the metal supports on top of the pocket doors fit. As you can see I had them powder coated thinking they fit over the black door skin material onto the board. I have seen photos of newer restored cars that appear to have the material
go over the metal support such that it is not seen.
Does anyone have an original BE who can inform how the fit is? Or have knowledge of how it fit in original cars?
I will keep and repair these panels and I'd like to have them fitted as original.
Thanks for your help.
