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) |

Was easy cuz its just a flat piece. I have other composite projects planned but right now I need to get this lump running again. I like mixing modern materials and technology with old cars or buildings, the juxtapostion brings out the best in both. Not sure why you care what some others may think of your ideas. Just carry your own flag and I'm sure the likeminded members will find you. Attached image: Attached File(s) carbon_fiber_door_panel ( 61.62k ) Number of downloads: 0 |
