Has anyone tried an alternative to pressboard for the cores to their door panels?
I've seen panels that are curved at the bottom from moisture or being recovered too tightly. It seems to only get worse as it ages. So, any ideas for a replacement material? Some kind of plastic, maybe? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

You can get 1/8" PVC sheet from McMaster-Carr, its about $50 for a 4X8 sheet. Its easy to cut, and shape. Also very weatherproof. We use it for splitters on the racecars, but we have made dashes from it as well.
I think it would be a great material for door panels |
