I have a problem fitting stock door panels in my 79 El Camino so I am looking at a possibility of using door panels from other cars. I need something without molded in armrests and all I have found are a set of firebird panels.
Thanks for the help

Door trim panels won't generally interchange between car platforms (5th Gen El Caminos are B-Bodys and the Firebird is an F-Body). What do you mean you are having trouble fitting stock trim panels?

The seats are after market buckets out of a mustang so they are a couple of inches wider. With the extra width, the center console, and the seats moved back about 2 inches from the stock mount location there is just not enough room for the door to close. Check out the pix.
