I bought some very nice blue door panels off ebay last year sometime 
and they even came with the clips. They will do nicely. I still 
haven't decided yet if I am going to dye them or use them as a 
contrasting color. There are so many shades of blue and some look 
good together and others clash. The brown ones that came out of the 
76 are still in good shape and I'm finding that I have lots of spare 
parts to choose from at this point. I guess all those part gathering 
trips really are paying off!
To answer your other post, I have not fired the engine up yet. Sad, 
isn't it? I'm about to pee in my panties to do that, but I'm now 
focusing on finishing the body and interior. I go spray blaster in 
the plug holes and turn it over by hand every so often. The 74 is 
still sitting in my back yard covered up, killing the grass 
underneath it. I will probably sell it to a group member or strip it 
when the 76 comes back and I am done with it. 
My brother came through here on his way to Maryland a couple of 
weeks ago, so now I have his decked out Jeep in my back yard as 
well. You should see this thing - snorkle, winch, custom made rack 
on the back, etc. He has been to every national Jeep Jamboree for 
the past 10+ years and more. Last year he went down Devil's backbone 
in Arizona. He writes articles for a 4x4 magazine and has test 
driven new Jeep Cherokees for Chrysler during their design phase. He 
even took one to Korea with him when he was stationed there. I can't 
tell you how many Jeeps that boy has had in his lifetime, but it all 
started with a '56 Willys and a 76 AMC CJ-5! ~Lu~
