Ok, after some tinkering. Here is what I came up with for my new door panels. I decided that the entire door in the pin stripe was kinda too much...
Carl, that is good input. I actually thought about all of that as well. Under the material, I spray adheasive it to bond the layers to the layer...
I am using 1/8" cloth backed foam. The cloth back is much better when you are pleating, or other style of stitching so it doesn't separate. Will...

Just got my glass kit for my 53 Ford. Got it from a place that specializes in vintage auto glass. Good news, it came today. Have all my panels...
Certainly. I already have the plastic to cover the inside of the door before I put the new panels on. Of course there was none to protect the...
Here is the "rough cut" panels with the 1/8" hardboard. They still need to be trimmed and edges sanded for perfect fit. But this stuff works great...

Yeah, that was the first thing I noticed too.. lol..
Nice huh? ;) [IMG] [IMG]
I am replacing my side window glass on my 53. The sketchy restored interior is functional, but tired, so while I have the side panels off, decided...
