Does anyone sell the hard board blanks already cut and formed I can take and get upholstered?

I purchased the metal ones. After upholster, they came out great. But I suppose if you're going for originality.......

Where did you get metal one?

I got mine from Tom's but other suppliers have them. They make separate door versions for Pre and post 1967. I'm 73 so I got these for the door:


Rear quarters:



for the rears I glued on neodymium magnets on to the back side. I have a roll bar and although I welded nuts under the top of the rear quarters so I don't need to use a wrench under there when taking the top off, I decided the magnets hold the inner panel in place fine, but I can slide the whole thing up without taking out the roll bar should I need to get back behind it.

I got my panels from BCB a few years back. I upholstered them with landau foam and marine vinyl. I think they turned out decent

I am going to drill and tap flat bar for my top, when I install it the first time I am going to panel bond, see if sticks

Yeah, I didn't really weld each individual nut, I used 1/4" flat bar and drilled and tapped it. I actually used some JB weld to hold it in place. Worked great.
