This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

AC Kick Panels Burnished Saddle for 68-72

    AC Kick Panels - Please check years they fit. I believe they are good for 68-72, but please double check.

    $100 plus shipping within the US.

    I purchased them originally from a member for my 70 GS because I couldn't find my original pieces. I later found my original and cleaned up and repainted those. Mine had the carpet so all the little staple holes were in them so I've used mine instead.

    These were sold to me as stated they were originally brown and someone painted them black. I initially cleaned them up and painted to match my Burnished Saddle interior. These do not have the little staple holes so they could be used for regular interiors without the carpet.

    As you can see from the pictures, when I initially went to clean them up, I noticed the black paint was coming off, so I decided instead of painting over the black, I tired to get as much off as I could using SEM prep. Then applied SEM adhesion promoter and painted with "expensive" burnished saddle spray paint. I've used this paint on my console, seat backs, and numerous interior pieces that needed to be touched up or newer pieces that were black.

    After cleaning to remove as much black paint on the front and sides (forgot the passenger side back)

    More pictures of after painting and the date codes on back

    I'm not sure on the date codes, guessing made in 1969 for the first, maybe September for the second, no clue on the third.
    Part numbers are 7722808 and 8727894
