I have them
I have rod doors on my 56 F-100. They are super to cover and easy to install,but the Velcro like plastic things that secure them to the door are not the best. I have resorted to using screws with a cap over the head. Attached is a photo.

I have Rod Door's on my 33 coupe and have used them on a '53 Chevy truck. You can see them in my photo album.
They do have a very good tech dept and have always been willing to take time to explain things to customers at shows. I would take davedeltadog's advise and go with a clip over the attachment tabs. Hope this helps, Mickm |

Rod Doors and who has used them
I have used Rod Door Products, and just installed their 3 point seat belts in my 36 Roadster Pictured. Their products are Very Good, easy to work with, and a reliable Company to deal with. Components are User friendly and of expected quality. I also agree, that Clips are better then HD velcro style tapes they supply, however, in certain applications they do work well

Sizing
I bought the Hayward for my '31 roadster - and though they were supposed to fit, don't as the raised sections are too long(by about 2-3"). I was going to do my own upolstery but will defer to someone who has better equipment - he will be given the panels and if he can make them work.... If not, he will go to a standard piece of backing. While I do like the product, my only word of caution is be careful of sizing and use fasteners other than their hook and loop - this observation from others who have used and like the Rod Door product.

Rod doors and who has used them
I also agree with Irelands child, but as with any product, especially in custom work, Measure Twice, make sure measurements are correct to conform to product
But again I would add, If you wish to used these Pre-designed panels and cover them yourself, they are user friendly, and look quite good. As with all detail work patience, patience, measure, and measure again............. |

The paint is PPG Haloquin. It changes from Blue to Purple to Maroon to Cooper. It is a cool looking paint but not one I would use again as rock chips are un-repairable (to the best of my knowledge) not to mention very expensive. The body is from Ford, circa 1933 Cheers! Mickm |

Thanks for the response guys... I am going to give it a try. Can someone give a better discription of the clips everyone is using? Are the similar to what yo would see on say a late model G.M car?
Thanks |
