Re: [ASC McLaren ] Door Panel

My original door panels and doors were hacked in two places. Near
the top the idiot put it a tweeter and at the bottom the moron put in
a 6" round speaker.

To find non-hacked door panels is getting tough as its still
happening. If the fox bodied cars ever reach true collector status,
there are going to be alot of frustrated people looking for door
panels....and I daresay these panels will NEVER be reproduced due to
the complexity and large number of variations. When I ask vendors
about repos they aren't even contemplating it and door panel
restoration shops don't even consider them worth working on.

The worst thing Ford ever did was to NOT put speakers in the doors
and to use 5x7" speakers in the back instead of standard 6x9".
