look on ebay, i think there is a place that will make them custom or something. 50resto dosen't have any? have you looked at this place yet? they might have something, foxmustangrestoration.com, see if that works.

I used the factory 82 black door panels and put the 87-93 power armrests and looks pretty sick. I just have to cover the hole for the window crank but im thinking ill put some pony emblems or something to cover them up.

funny you mention that, i JUST for the first time, before u told me to, got onto foxmustangrestoration. although they do not have the panels in manual, they do have MANY other things i am ordering, very good site. yeh 50resto has no manual panels.
we think alike lol, i had that in my mind also, i might look into that. i remember faintly seeing them a month ago. but, since they charge like 300 bucks for two panels, and ALL i want is them to be plain black, i might as well convert to power. i want as little as possible to have ANY color variation from black, i want black on black on black on black etc. lol
thats a good point, but correct me if im wrong, they will have them, im thinking this because i recently took off my seats, and on the drivers side, there was a harness there for power seat sealed up over 20 years ago when it came from the factory. so, that tells me when they designed the cars, they probably also had the door panel options. i can only hope im right, tho.
