New 1966 Beaumont door panels will be available soon My buddy has sent his in to Dales Muscle car Parts. Maybe only available from Dales I don't know as of yet I will post pic's when they arrive
Interesting. I spoke with them about a year ago trying to persuade them to produce them (since they do 1965). We were close to making it happen, then they declined. I hope they do it this time! I look forward to the pictures! Thanks for posting.

I'm set to pull the trigger next week on some. I've been torn between Chevelle and GTO ones (as Beaumont were not an option). I was leaning towards the GTO as they are a little more "upscale" with the carpet on the bottom. Some of them even have a moulded area for a GTO badge which I suspect are about the same dimensions as the Beaumont emblem. However, that is now on hold with this recent development.

One thing i thought was odd is that they only wanted a picture of them pic's of rear where not that great so he sent rear panel to them I really hope they come out exact as originals I need a few sets
I GOT A SET MADE FOR MY 66 ACADIAN WAGON. SET A FRONT AND REAR SAMPLE TO SMS AUTO FABRICS IN CANBY OREGON. THE FINISH PRODUCT WAS EXACTLY AS ORIGINAL, VERY HAPPY WITH THEM. 650.00 , BUT WORTH IT.
When I was having the dialogue with Legendary, part of my sales pitch was that from what I could see, the 66 Beaumont door panels were the same as the Tempest (with the exception of the Beaumont panel having a chrome mylar strip). Therefore, I thought there should be a market for them...

i have drove from bc to alberta to buy 66 door panels and i have soaked the 66 door panels and removed the vinyl and put them on new backing boareds for year becauce i cant put chevelle or gto panels on a beaumont lol , i hope these are good repops.
"...i have soaked the 66 door panels and removed the vinyl and put them on new backing boareds "
That's exactly what I was going to do last summer, then I thought I'd be better off putting them away and have an "expert" try that someday. (Sounds like we have an "expert"!) Nice to see that there are still some uncompromising enthusiasts out there! I agree Ron, I hope they do a good job. (Legendary certainly has a great reputation!)
Edit: I believe the original post indicated that Legendary was the manufacturer, and that was since changed to Dales? Hence my comments.

The photo looks good. How do they look in person? (Mine have a silver mylar type tape on them. Are they planning on adding them?)

hi guys. i also was looking for a set of door panels for my 66 beaumont, and found a guy named terry, on kijiji. i think he is working out of british columbia (not sure), and he offered me new panels, on boards, with the chrome strip in the middle for 149.00/set. i am just finishing doing the deal with him, so i will let you know how it works out. his email address is: uptowncruisers@yahoo.ca
Thanks for the info. I look forward to hearing how you make out (ie pictures)!
