1983 Diesel Malibu Wagon. Passed on it because it was so oily underneath; it would probably still be rust-free today if it did not go to the crusher.

We recommend the full door panels for hot rods, those who don't care about maintaining the factory look, and for people trying to stay within a budget. Installation can be a pain since they are pretty large. Out of the box, the arm rests are screwed in from the bottom, which makes things a bit more difficult. We disassemble the arm rests for painted panels and screw them in from the top during reassembly. With ABS plastic, we do not see the cracking that is more common with polystyrene. The defect rate on full door panels is very low.

This is the only picture we have at the moment. It comes from a customer. If you need more detail, we can install them on our Monte and post pictures for you.

They certainly look nice. I wonder how they're constructed. Are they reinforced?

X2 on the construction Jack. I know they are made of ABS, but hopefully dixie resto will shed some light on that.

I've had a pic of them saved for awhile, i like the clean look of them over my factory cutlass panels. If it's gonna cost more thanthe 1pc panels to redo mine, i will post my originals for sale to help fund a set.
