ckuske Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 I just called LMC last yesterday and they said they just came back in stock. They are processing the order now and should be shipped within 2-3 days. I'll give you an update after I get them in/install. I'm also planning to custom fabricate handles for them from Oak or Ash. I refuse to pay at additionally $40 for the handles. Nice, thanks for the update! Fingers crossed for good quality on these, they look better than the older ones.

Powerman5K Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Nice, thanks for the update! Fingers crossed for good quality on these, they look better than the older ones. The LMC panels just came in. So far so good. I don't see any noticeable difference in the thickness of the plastic molding. They seem to be identical replicas. You can see how they are blank and require you to cut out the openings for your door locks. They are easily marked on the back side for cut out. Not sure if I'll get around to installing them tomorrow. I want to fabricate new handles first. Once I do that and install them, I'll update this post with photos and how the process went.

Do they come with the rubber/soft vinyl grommet for the door handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerman5K Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Do they come with the rubber/soft vinyl grommet for the door handle? It has the same setup as the original but the grommet is foam. This is the only major difference I see. It also comes with the velvet window sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, I'm very pleased. When I cut out the place for the door locks, it fit exactly with their pre-marked holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerman5K Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 those look very nice. i cannot tell. is it a painted black poly core or is it laminated? It looks like they are all made black and then they paint them the color they want them to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat in tn Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It looks like they are all made black and then they paint them the color they want them to be. most now are painted but i noticed a very clean line at the window crank opening and wondered if they might be better than painted.
