In an effort to be really creative I have decided to redo my door panels. I have several questions first though:

1. What material can be used to replace the panel backing? Does anyone sell this stuff?

2. What kind of materials can I use to build shapes and designs?

3. How can I attach the designs to the backing?

4. Where can I find fabrics or materials to cover the panel?

There are probably other question, but I can't think of any now.

home depo my man, and some 1/4 inch foam, and some fabric, if you wanna get really crazy, fiberglass pannels, but thats a lot of skil involved.

 

I used tweed to recover my original door panels, the factory had 3 different materials and 3 different shades of grey. i wanted something clean simple and one color. then i put the factory piece of metal trim back on to give it a factory look.
But if you wanted shapes, just cut the shapes out of foam, and them glue the new fabric over the foam.

 

Here's another one i did for a guy's Iroc i built for him.

 

Good information so far, thanks. But what about the door panel backing, the multi layer press board sort of stuff, what can I use to replace this???

Does any manufacturer supply this?

Looks good but a little to plain for me. It would be cool if it was raised in some spots. Otherwise good work.

 

pressed board is good nuff

1/8th inch think

make sure you seal it fromt eh back and ptu the plastic backing back on the door
