Default Quarter panel installation

I'm installing the quarter panel covers (the panels outboard of the seats, just inside the door) on my 69 Convertable. It looks like they should have nuts bonded to the inside of them. How about a pic and a description please ?

There are 4 nuts embedded in the plastic. The 4 machine screws attach through the painted metal strip in the door jamb, 3 in the side and one through the top piece. 2 other screws attache through the carpeting into clips. I have mine off in the garage. I will send you a pic in the morning. What's your email?

Thanks. PM sent.
Is the reinforcement body color ? I have one rusted POS and one in crappy body color. I'm thinking body color as is would match the paint in the door jamb.
