and way cheaper?

I am going to be in the market for a full set in a year or two.
(Have to regroup first on the restoration costs)
Who does Classic Industries panels? They have full sets but the won't say who makes them.

Palco and Accuform... I got my lower front doors from them and they were Palco

I found an original set of lowers finally. I see that ad for lower priced seat backs, and if the are the " Metro" style injection molded as advertised then they should be good ones. I wish I would have seen that price, mine were abot 25 bucks more. I guess who ever is making these is selling all over now instead of just to Metro.

does somebody know if definitelly Vans sells same Metro panels?

Not certain, but send them a note and ask if those are the metro style, flexible, not rigid plastic, I have purchased stuff from them before and they are pretty good ebay seller. The picture sure looks like the ones. That's a better price then what I got mine for from another seller.

 

[Nacho-RT74]

just got an answer from vans

question:

All allong these years these panels have being pieces of **** made by Accuform and Palco ( dashtops ) in order from worst to less worst. There was a seller around called Metroparts who were selling EXCELENT AND REAL GOOD reproductions of these panels, but it seems they are not alive anymore on bussines... Are these panels the same than the ones being sold by Metroparts ?

then... another questions... do you think, we Mopar lovers will have REAL NICE REPRO PLASTIC PANELS, like these, and despite the pieces of **** being sold by Palco and Accuform ? Specifically for 74 Charger.

I spent around $1K on PLASTIC PIECES OF ****, and want to dream someday will get real good parts to my car

Thanks.
Nacho

Answer:

Dear nachobay,

you are right Metro is out of business, these are the panels they used to sell, I wouldn't use the palco or accuform ones either, they look like crap

 

[idrivemopar]

So, get them while you can, also as I mentioned before I believe that Legendary is getting the seatbacks from the same company that made for Metro but not sure about availability.
