Is there more than one manufacturer of the 68/69 deluxe door panels? I know several years ago Classic Industries (then Classic Camaro) introduced the repro plastic-backed door panels and continue selling them to this day. I have seen advertized similar door panels from Al Knoch. Are these the same aricle and is Al Knoch a distributer? Or, does he manufacture his own?

I'm interested since I'm looking to replace them soon and I want those with the best fit/quality. I'm worried that the difference in quality between repro/original door panels is similar to the repro/orig dash pad quality gap. I'd also like opinions from those who have bought/installed these panels.

I hate to say it, but do a search on door panels. This topic has been covered many times in the past few months. I've replaced mine and the preassembled ones are the way to go.

I did a search. You must have standard panels. Please read my questions carefully. To the best of my knowledge, the 68/69 DELUXE panels are only produced one way. My principle question centers around whether there is a quality difference b/w the Classic Industries panels and the Al Knoch ones.
