Welcome to Chevy Talk,
You asking in the original forum,
So I’m guessing your door panel is attached in the original manner.
Several items need to be removed,
Inside window garnish molding
Inside door handles
Screws for arm rest
Once these items are removed, using an upholstery tool you can get between the door panel and the metal door you slide it to each attachment nail and back it out of the door,
Once that’s done lift the door panel up and unhook it from the door, there is a metal retaining strip on the panel and the door at the bottom.
For those that may be wondering, the hooptijutillater does not have to be removed.

Thanks, I have looked at a few pics and trying to find service manual or video of the removal of door panel so I don't bend or brake anything. Thanks again for answering my post. Geno

I looked at some info I had the 1956 assembly manual, the 1956 Shop manual and the 1955 interior Trim online but didn't find anything about removing the door panel.
Reading through the 1956 shop manual section "Body Section 1-8" there is a reference to
"Servicing the front doors is covered in the 1955 Shop Manual"
naturally I don't have the 1955 manual
