Is there a source for reproduction kick panels without having to buy a complete upholstery package?

Best thing is to make your own, not hard at all.

I could make them but the ones on my 67 have about a 3 inch vinyl strip attached to the carpet material on the door opening edge. I think it may have been glued down and edge covered with the door edge molding.

Those are definitely someones interpretation on the kick panels. Not that there's anything wrong with
what they did, but they were never covered in carpet. In fact the only area of the car, assuming your's
isn't a GT, that was carpeted was the transmission tunnel. All the standard Alpines had rubber mats.
The kick panels are covered in vinyl that match the color of the interior. You might be able to recover yours
if the panels are in good shape. They usually don't survive well as moisture warps and rots them.

From the back, if these are the originals, they do not look in very good shape. What would it cost for you to make me a set in black for a 67? You can private message me if you prefer. I'm in no hurry,so don't feel rushed.
