I have been asked this question by a few friends. Who does 69-70 deluxe door panel restoration? I had Gene Painter do a few sets back in the 1990s but my sources say he retired in 2005 and is now deceased? Did anyone take over his business? Other companies? Thanks. Gary

I had a good experience with these guys (not a Mustang door panel, but a '70 Deluxe Camaro set).

The reproduction are pretty good, your friend should have a look at them first.

Gene Painter is alive and well. His son took over the door panel business after he did not want to do them anymore.

How do you get ahold of Gene Painters son?

Taken from a post on Concours Mustang forum. If you use them can you let me know how they come out? I got several sets I'd like to have restored and Gene(RIP) did a couple of sets for me in the 90s. From April 2023 post: "contact Adam Painter he and his father(since passed away) have restored them for years.
it may take a while but they come out great

I would be happy to let you and the group know. I also went to the just dashes website and that is pretty impressive - I emailed them an inquiry to see what they charge, time frame etc.

I just spoke to Adam and he is no longer doing anything with classic cars etc. He finished up what he had to do for him/his dad over a year ago and will not be going forward with any new business. Super nice guy - We are losing talent at an accelerated pace since COVID - I will let you all know what happens with just dashes

Tony Zankofsky in PA did mine. You need pretty good cores to get a good result. PM me if you'd like his contact info.
