    Door Panel Pockets

     



    I'm looking for a door panel pocket layout that I can mimic without too much trouble on my '32 Roadster door panels. There's a total lack of places to stash things in a roadster, at a minimum registration & insurance papers, but also things like a cell phone or other "stuff" that can't be sliding around on the floor, but which you want to have ready access to while driving as opposed to stashing it in the trunk. Anyone got pictures of a neat design that you can share? I'm in the "sittin' & thinkin'" stage - sometimes I sit & think, and sometimes I just sit..... Looking for ideas in these last hours of 2021.

    OH! And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

    Thanks Joe, but I was looking for something done in upholstery as opposed to cutting a hole in the door and having an insert. That said, I did make a hard pocket bonded to the back side of my panel on the '33, and I guess I could do that again.... Here's one I found that I believe I can do pretty easy..

    A pocket vaguely along the lines of the pic, but in the kick panel has worked for me in the past. Foot room needs to be considered, but for those small items the bulk is minimal.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
