first - you need a set of core early door paels, with the one piece metal top.

cores...

then - source some new laser cut piece from evilwerks/burrowerks
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1140414512.jpg)

begin taking apart old core door panels. note the solid metal tops....

again

begin prying up old staples.....

after removing vinyl and foam covering, begin to pry up the tabs holding the metal top to the core board...

notice the "tuck and roll" (remember how this was done....)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1140414562.jpg)

the old top with the new board....
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1140573228.jpg)

begin pushing holding tabs down on new board. the butt of a screwdriver werks great.

completed backboard....

the RSA handles im ordering from pelican, 18 bucks a pop....


these are original 911rs/9146 GT handles...
