    Door panels?

     



    I'm working on my friend's rambler and she has this terrible particle board that needs to be replaced. We're discussing what to replace it with.

    What do you guys use for door panels? 1/8th plywood or plastic or something else maybe?

    most of my friends use Luan 1/4 inch but they all have older cars where the panels are straight.

    Recovery Room your works looks great and it's always clean with nice lines just how I like my interiors to look. I think sometimes people just do way to much and they forget that the car is suppose to be the main focal point and then the interior.

    The Interior should be as important as the paint,engine area.Not an after thought.My customers come to me and want the inside to be as equally nice as the rest of the car,That is balanced with the rest of car

    Can you be more specific as to what kind? a pic maybe? or is that giving away a trade secret?
    Thanks.
