I bought new set of door panels from Legendary around 2 years back. They are really nice and identical to originals. I ordered directly from them and they came in the estimated time too.
Me too. Some companies can make most of the seat upholstery but the embossed vinyl like the door panels and some seat details can't be duplicated except by Legendary.

100% in agreement with j_anderson and Oldmanmopar. I think they get away with it pretty much because they're the only game in town. The door panels were a pita. buyer is made to pick out the cutouts for the clips and the perforations on the cutouts were terrible. unacceptable at the pricepoint. They do include a "special tool" though... it's a 3" finishing nail with a bend in it and the point ground to a flat pointed edge. Also, some openings in the vinyl had to be cut out and i was glad to do it because the large openings under the armrest bases that the DID cut were Too large with only about 1/16th of material to spare. It was a &*^%*#$ they line up and cover the holes and I suspect they will eventually slip out.

The doors fit many years with differences.
You just use the perforations you need for your particular vehicle.
Ive installed several sets of different manufacturers, no drama .
I've had Legendary side by side with other attempts, they are okay if you've never seen original .
Good luck .

I had my originals and and another set OEM set to compare. The Big issue was the pre-cut clearance openings for the armrest bases (possibly to satisfy other years) but mine are 1972 340 style, one year only pattern. The clip cutout locations were fine but the perforation depth was substandard and the fact that the buyer is required to do that for the price (almost $800?) is criminal. I spent hours (5 or 6) on it. They're on. They look good. But they're suspect as far having issues later.

I agree with oldmanmopar they suck I had two bad experiences with Legendary one with messed up carpet and one with rear seat covers problem is sometimes you dont get to install this stuff for a while and even thought it looks ok when you get it you dont find the problem until the install which can be months later and they dont care about your issue at that point dont waste your time never mind money.

Nice! What's the name of this product? Poly filler isn't giving me anything close when I search on google.
I get mine from a buddy who works at my old upholstery job. Here’s a link to a product similar to what I used. You glue it down with spray adhesive then trim it

Myself and @dadsbee were having a discussion about PG Classic vs Legendary HERE , hes quite happy with his PG panels at a substantially reduced price, and the pics that he posted showed the embossing on his door panels and looks really good.
I think Im going the PG Classic route when I order mine, for the price of the Legendary panels, you also get the rear panels as well. PG also has 20% off sales, so a guy can get them even cheaper.
That's ridiculous. All the more reason to support your local upholstery shop.

Agree 100%.
My seats were hand stitched locally and came out fantastic. Unfortunately, I dont think my guy can do door panels like factory, so thats why Im buying elsewhere.
I was at a show about 10 years ago and I saw a duster that had diamond plete interior and I really didn't care for that but I looked at the door panels and the door panels look almost Factory but they were covered in leather as well as dashpad...pebble grain

I had my white door panels diamond pleated in black almost 50 years ago. I regret it now which is why I'm going back to all factory white.

more than one local upholstery shop has said to go to legendary to me for the covers, they'll rebuild the seat and install them, partly because I only want the front seat, and one of the vinyls is no longer available (the shallow elk light blue metallic), but reproduced in special runs by legendary. 76 Dart/Dartsprt/ Scamp/Duster Split Bench Srm Lt Blue/ Blue - Legendary Auto Interiors
Then that wouldn't be what I'd call an upholstery shop.
My upholstery friend is a Legendry dealer. He says the same thing. The quality of their products and the price you pay, is way cheaper than he can duplicate covers for you. He could do it and they would be over the top nice, but the price would be 2 or 3 times what Legendary charges. He doesn't have all the embossing machines they use to duplicate imprints on seat backs and door panels either. He charges $100+ an hour and the dollars add up quickly. He does high end show cars and has won many top honors. I can't afford him to do my work (from scratch) although he did do my Legendary cover installs.
A lot of this has to do with the time it takes to carefully remove covers and cut apart all the stitching just to make patterns for new covers. Legendary has patterns on hand already.
I wish I would have been cross trained at sewing when I worked at a furniture factory. I can upholster but can’t sew and that’s where the magic is
