Default Looking for an old interior 36 5w

My 36 five window came with no interior. I found a seat it is very poor reproduction mohair which is more like Astroturf. I am thinking of trying to find original door panels, it doesn’t matter how beat off they are. Would there any other years and models that might fit? The car is going to have more of a survivor look. Does anyone know oh someone that might have saved original interior from a restoration.

Lawson, that's probably how your distributor end cap gaskets looked after you finished modifying them, lol

36coupe, something to consider when looking for used 36 5w coupe inner door panels. The late year model 35 5w coupe door panels used in production beginning in March of 1935, could be used in a 36 5w coupe, although the cloth attached to the outer surface may be different than what was used in production of 36 models.

LOLO. No, the end caps are in great condition, as are the inner caps thanks to Ken Harris. It's just the gaskets that have had me pulling my hair out. Thanks to others here, especially those who posted pictures, I believe I have that problem solved. Now if only my hands would quit hurting, and get some feeling in them (Now that's a conundrum ain't it?) long enough for me to properly install the gaskets, I'll be smiling again.
