Door Panels
Anyone here in Las Vegas that knows how to tighten door panels, I don't want to break any rules and ask where to go, so I figured maybe somebody that enjoys working on corvettes can help me..I am willing to pay for the help and buy a few beers 
my email is Cooper@3putters.com
Thanks to all...Cooper

Several threads on here recently about do-it-yourself door panel repair, skim down the first page or two, or do a search. Or, hopefully someone will be nearby and be able to help you.

I did the add metal to the panel, was ok for 2 weeks then pow she broke again. So I would buy a new panel . Less trouble, I spent 3 hours fixing it .

We have a vendor that works in carbon fiber. I wonder if the braces would work better using carbon fiber? Do you have the thread so I could send it to him and see if he would be interested in making them?

Well, you could always fix them the way the previous owner did on the 87 I just bought! 
(Notice the nice 'body molding' on the top of the armrest too)
