1980 door panel installation.
I am installing door panels on my 80. When I bought the car the old panels were bubbad on. I would like to install them correctly and need some pictures of the panels so I know where all the screws go. The upper screws and the lower ones. Thanks for your time and help.

My 80 is away for the winter, so I don't have any pics, but it's straight forward so I will explain in words (as I've had the panels on and off many times). I'll also make the assumption you are installing the new ones and old ones are off already.
Basically, there is one screw at the top rear edge, three large screws holding on the arm rest (two underneath and one where the door pull is) and another screw hidden in the carpet upper corner of the door pocket. In addition to this it will also be necessary to remove the cover piece where the door handle is, unscrew the door lock ****, and use a small Allen key to remove the cover from the remote mirror.
Other than that, the whole panel rests on a ledge along the top for support.
