On the 3 compartment storage type, do you have to remove the whole door assembly to repolace the center storage tub?

Chris@VetteFinders

Yeah, I replaced the whole thing before. I bought new frames and glued new carpet on each door. Should have realized I had to put that in before re-assembly. Damn, mark up the 3rd thing I had to re-do.

Thanks Ed

Thanks man. I ordered a lot of little finishing stuff this week. I got a new ash tray, dome light cover, the compartment bin, shift boot, acorn nuts, t-top locks stuff like that. Feels pretty good to be doing little stuff.

Now I can move on to some upgrades on the C5: CCW wheels, track tires, heads/cam.

Hey guys,
I am getting ready to rebuild my rear storage compartment doors and this thread has me confused and wondering how to begin this job.
I have a 68 and I thought all I have to do is remove the doors, recarpet them, replace the frames around edges of doors, and I would be done. Can someone who has been there and done this job give some very specific details, cautions, and procedures so I don't screw this up.
Thank you in advance,

EdT,
Thanks for the response.
My doors are hardboard or pressboard or whatever that stuff is.
Will that create any special problems?

You may want to consider the special that a forum vendor is running on the complete set.
