Foxbody Door Panel Resto - Class Is In Session! 

The only downside of making a Foxbody-focused RU-vid channel is the fact its a niche topic. Thankfully its a relatively popular car. If LMR can get over 100k subscribers, I think you can as well. Keep up the great work. The best thing about a Foxbody is the community and you keep it alive. Thank you.

Panels came out great dude, I will be using this to do project 4TO8s panels!

Krispy she is. Kalipso Killa... And you did the work, and we're proud of it with you. Started from the the bottom now she here. Donor body to the life of the party... Lol #StangBang on em.. I'm the guy you redid one of my old cars, maroon car, .. much fox love from Elmore County.

Wasn’t the most exciting video but I watched from start to finish and learned something new. Respect ✊

Just started working on my 89 GT its been sit for over 20 years. I cant wait to try refurbished my door pannels thanks for the tips and detail

Man i spent an hr today preaching your name on big youtube car sites in chat. Hope it helps... Love the vids. !! Keep up the good work!

Well...i ain't gonna lie! After watching this ,I would rather hand port and polish a set of heads! Lol! Suddenly 300 dollars sounds like money well spent! Who ever makes new door panels deserves every bit of that 300 dollars! Lol!!

That's a lot of work but the results are worth it!

I did my door panels last year after watching house of dula. Spent about 4 hours doing it and they turned out great!

The whole car looks new. That interior is mint

Looking so fresh, and so clean clean.

Man after my car was put out of service you give me hope to continue with to get it back up and running . Thank you for your time and videos

Who needs new door panels when you can just buy supplies and refresh your own. Nice How to Video. It takes a lot of time and patience to do such a awesome job. Its just amazing how the Calypso Cobra is coming together. Nice job on the panel refresh!

I give you props 👏 for doing all that stuff in your garage that's awesome 👌 and like always God bless

Just started to work on my 89 GT that has been sitting for 20 plus years. Im sure these videos and tips are going to be useful.

Seeing you in the beginning of the video standing with the flag behind me makes me think Brew2L MAKE FOX’S GREAT AGAIN. Another great video.

House of Dula video was a great help to me doing mine. Don't forget the lock grommet when removing the vinyl. I did my rivets with the heads on the backer board side and used rivets with the big heads. The hold the backer really well. Map pocket panels are MUCH easier than carpeted! Great looking job!

Great job! I did watched House of Dulla restored his door panels. Every bit of info helps. That is something to look forward to when I get my future car. Keep the videos coming. I won't this car to be the best Cobra clone, to me and everybody.

Man you are the most patent person I’ve ever seen. Bad ace. That’s why your car is so beautiful. Great job bro.

Love the in depth tutorials. Please keep them coming.

Brew2l thanks for all the advice especially the heat gun and spray dye got another project now.

I appreciate the work and you are right on time for me. My door handle broke a couple weeks ago so I had to remove my panel to fix it. Well it's so rotten that the push pins will not stay hooked in so my panel is flopping around. This is just the fix I need

Nice video and door panel looks money! You must be reading my mind because this is another project I need to do soon. You should have more SUBS because you bring value to the Foxbody community. I really appreciate your videos!

Use the aluminum backup washers on those blind rivets so you get some support on backside of that soft board. Hanging right next to the rivets you grabbed at the store. You’ll get proper squish and hold much tighter over time 👍🏼

I noticed brew2L kept trying to correct himself at the terminology of the pieces on these door panels. Since most often people that don’t know usually get the correct nomenclature wrong. So, just if anybody is curious here’s the correct names of everything as a trim & upholstery person would refer to them. The large scale of interior panels or pieces are called “trim panel” or their named after their function or mounting location. 1. The staples are 1/8” - 3/16” - 1/4” depending on the thickness of materials they need to go through. 2. Metal at the top is the “border plate”or “top plate”. 3. Any center piece within the panel is the “insert” or “appearance panel” usually fastened with staples or aluminum tabs or adhesive. 4. The cardboard piece is “trim paneling” or “panel board” usually 1/16” - 1/8” - 3/16”. 5. Top black material is the “border” or “top cover” usually fastened with adhesive, staples or crimped. 6. The leather is either “accent” or “main” usually cloth, vinyl, leather, valure, pleather (plastic imitation leather) or actual plastic. 7. The bottom piece is the “valence” or “lower border”. 8. The thin strips sewn to the edges of the carpet or vinyl are the “binding” or “rope cord”. 9. Handles are handles. 10. Pockets at bottom of the panels are “accessory pockets” or “lower/upper pockets”. 11. Top seal is the “window trim seal” or “upper seal”. The some of these names are included on the dash. 1. “Upper facia”, “lower facia”. 2. “Appearance cover” or “emblem”. 3. Dash is a “dash pad”. 4. Lower dash parts are “lower valance” or “lower dash panel”. 5. Panels at your feet are “kick panels”. 6. Rear quarter pieces are “quarter panel” and center pieces are “quarter panel insert”. 7. Triangle shaped panels by rear glass are “sail panels”. 8. Roof panel is “headliner” go figure right! 9. Rear dash is the “package tray”. 10. Any padding behind a panel or under your carpet is referred to as “juke padding” or “sound reduction”. 11. Any foam padding behind any panel is referred to as “scrim foam”. 12. Appearance covers at the bottom of the door on the carpet are “sill plate”. 13. Front, middle or rear vertical trim pieces named after the points their mounted to, “A pillar trim”, “B pillar trim” & “C pillar trim”. 14. All trim that holds up or mounts the headliner is “headliner trim”. 15. Lighting at the sides above or at shoulder height are “dome lights” or if individual switches are used “map lights”. Usually all trunk panels are “trunk lining” or just referred to as “trim panel” usually named after their mounting location or function.

EXCELLENT video!! Also Foxcast media has a video that covers the alternative fit for the sagging door map pockets. Put that with this video and you have great content!!

This is exactly where I'm at. At least I know what I need before I RIP it apart. Gently I hope.

Looks good

Detailed enough B, great job! Yes, I seen both GFunk & Dula dabble with these and they do look like a PIA! But as you say, $30 opposed to $300? I say go w/$30👍 That interior is starting to look 🔥

Great job on the panels man. They look brand new

Brew2l you are a foxbody guru!

Awesome video. Thanks for teaching us this

Thanks for the vid! I attempted mine last week, but the vinyl was already cracked before I started. 😣 So I tried to make chicken salad outta chicken poop. Figure it was worth a try for how cheap they are.. And smoke grey panels are on backorder.

Cant believe how awesome that turned out man this shit is so motivating to get my car done 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Love the before and after shots

Dude! Thanks for this video that's one of my near future projects.

Good how too. Have 3 foxes and had others over the years and aside from putting new map pockets in never really knew or thought about deconstrucring the panel like that. Came out nice!

Thanks brew2l. Nice job !

This is Awesome! Thank you BREW2L.

Always enjoy your video's

That's some really good work.

This was just great! Love how you break it down to basics!

Bro, I love this channel.

Great job brother, thanks for putting in the work!

And we love the videos bro.

Man thanks 🙏 a million BREW2L for going through step by step on how to attack the door panels. Mine are definitely needing this treatment and this will help out tremendously. Good stuff for sure.💪🤘

Great job brew make it look easy

Love it. Those corbeaus look killer!

Always great videos. Keep um coming 🤙🏻🤙🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Always up for a learning experience especially when it comes to foxbodys since I had 6 of them.awsome video ,keep up the good work!

AWESOME!!! New subscriber here, you have great content brotha!!! Keep 'em coming

Great job, thanks for posting! I'm thinking about making my own door panels for my Fox Zephyr and it was cool to see this done!

Always enjoy the vids. Thanks for sharing. Thought it would be tough, but its manageable. Now that Ive seen it done, time to give it a whirl.

I work at a small car lot detailing cars and everything he just showed is absolutely correct, the SEMS coat works great and dries fast and very hard to fish eye or run, light coats and it will look great, nice job on the door panels!!!!!!!

What I really like about this is... you show how easy (Even if its time consuming) it is to pull that apart.. you could always go back with leather on the door panel and glue and staple that on there if you wanted to spend a little more and do something custom. VERY nice step by step!

Excellent work!

Looks like a totally different car great!!

Thanks I needed this!

When I paint carpet sections before it’s totally dry I take a clean rag and pretty much buff the carpet. It makes it I little softer to the touch when it’s dry.

Been watching your channel for a bit now, got a 89 gt vert daddy daughter project that’s gonna need revisiting your vids! Your motivation, dedication and commitment to whatever your doing is addictive. Thank you!

Just recently joined in on the channel. Love your work and love streaming with you. I’m the painter who offered to help you on your next project!

New Suber here ... Kudos on the Panels ... great work ..... ty for the teaching ..... will be needing this ... again ty .. 💯❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Welp, this gave me what I needed to tackle the interior of my Fox! I'm gonna dye and refinish everything in the car... Basically follow what you did.

Car looks AMAZING! And the topic is on-point - was just telling my buddy that my doors will be my winter project. Oh and PS - I watched the Ads - cause you need to get paid!!! Great work as usual!

Awesome job as usual..lol. looks great keep up almost there !!!

Bro u did a heck of a job on the panels , that car is gonna be so Dope !

I already bought new map pockets. For my door panels. But I am going to just buy new one's. And all the clip for them. And call it a wrap.

Great tutorial buddy. I used a House of Dula video for how to remove my rearend in the SSP

Damn man your right on time! Just got my new door cards in this morning, looks tough but I think I can do it! Thanks for the video!

3M spray adhesive works very well.

Great video. My door panels are warped at the bottom from driving through a super heavy sideways rainstorm. If I can't flatten them with steam, I'll replace the fiberboard. Thank you for posting this video

I wish I could have done that to mine but one had a small rip by the door handle mine cost over $500 I looked at some of the cheaper ones but decided to go with TMI door panels

great video awsome

This is the fantastic how too I have been wanting for! Thanks man! Those came out great! Do you think they cold be dyed a different color

They came out awesome! For the price it’s at least worth a shot to try and save em. You F one up, at least you tried.

Amazing work athletic great video i learn so much and save alot of monny lol

Im not sure about these boards..but back when i did mine they wasnt treated..so i sprayed front and back of the boards with scotch guard to prevent any type of soaking during cleaning or in rain.

I have to say U did a GREAT tutorial on redoing the door panel, U ought to feel proud of the Great job U did on the tutorial, makes me wanna do my own. I like doing all my own work that I can, putting myself into my restore of the vehicle I'm working on, to have the pride knowing it was my hands that restored my vehicle. Can U tell me please the kit to order for redoing the door panels (mine will be different, being it's a convertible, and black interior) and who U ordered the kit from i.e. the boarding, window wiper, glue, rivets, colored spray to refinish? Probably already stated, I just wanna verify I order everything needed correctly, Thanks for the tutorial.

Came out nice. Is that the same paint used on the dash? Thanks for that video mine is in need of restoring. Now I know what to do. I think lol

I apologize now. I didn't catch where you got the pre-cut out board at? Thank you for this video. I will try this out. Just need the cutout board to order.

374 people so far loved the video! And please stop saying ur not a Guru! I feel like I am and I go to and trust u for the answers. So if ur not a Guru, who is? 🍺🍺🍺

Where did you get the door to window felt liner trim for the top of the door? Do you have a vendor or part#? Great video of the breakdown and repair to the door panels

What year car did you get seats for the calypso car I like those ?

I cant find the parts on LMR. Do you have a part number or link ? I'm fired up. I need to redo my doors. You are helping more than you know. Thanks for all the content !!!

You should try a trim tool, much better than a screwdriver

Love the videos.. I definitely would have done that to mine but I have a tear in my vinyl.. is there a fix for that?? Keep up the good work

That's a lot of work to replace the decayed particle board. Any thoughts about reinforcing it with fiberglass mat instead? The rest of the door panel could still be cleaned/dyed with a new border on top, no?

Thanks what I've been waiting for!!!! Wanna see some bad panels from sitting look at my video

Hey I was just wondering what size drillbit did you use and what size rivet

What are your thoughts on converting a hard top to t top ?

Hey man, it looks like you have the aftermarket Foxbody digital instrument cluster, but I thought it came with white LEDs? Did you just swap the white LEDs for green? TIA!!

What was the SEM Gray you used can you post the products you used in the video i have a 88 so it should be the same.

Where did you get the cardboard an window clean trim

What’s the best paint code for titanium gray?

What color SEM grey did you use brew2l ?

I can see some poor factory worker in Dearborn Michigan just cusing at these door panels while putting them together lol 😂

On my to do list also... not paying $400 for new ones..

I’m having issues using rivits. They keep popping out. Is there any other way to attach the board other than rivits?

What color was the gray that you put on the door panels?

Can I ask where did you get the board from ?
