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) |

QUOTE(boxstr @ Oct 11 2004, 11:00 AM) Hot rod show in Sacramento that I went to had a ton of vendors, one of them was a hot rod interior supplier, door panels and supplys. They were using abs plastic for door panels. No water absorbtion, no warpage,cuts easily, you can even heat it with a blow torch(there recomendation) for bending our molding, you spray on glue to hold your material for covering. You secure it to the doors with a 3m product that is a heavy duty velcro. Glue one strip to the door panel and another to the door. Easy on and off. It is used to make numerous other car goodies, consoles,speaker holders,arm rests. CCLINPLASTICISOURFRIEND Lots of good suggestions here. I really like the idea of using ABS or PVC and velcro. That would make securing the door panels so much easier than all those silly clips. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
