Yeah, very sweet, Are you going to match the rest of the interior to the door panels?

Wow, those are almost exactly what I had in mind for my panels. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
Do you have a pattern or something I could bum? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) |

Those look very good! I was thinking about doing something similar. I think you should tell us how easy those were to make. A step by step of the project would be fantastic!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) Instructions is what we need, i.e. a Tech Article for the "Info" section.
Great work ! I need door pulls, mine are shot, anyone know where I can find them? |

Thanks for the compliments (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
I'd like to do the seats next, but that would be a pretty big step - I have a line on a junk set to hack up, and it might be a long-term project, because my original seats are in pretty good shape right now. I'd be happy to put together a 'how-to' post, I've got more pictures of how I did it and I'll put something together next week (I'm going camping tomorrow and may get snowed in beofre then (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ) For now: $9 - Marine vinyl and 1/2 inch foam from fabric store using discount coupon from newspaper $6 for 1/2 and 1/4 inch staples $4 for thin (balsa) wood strips to replace old ones from top pad section $30 for the shoe repair lady to stitch the pleats If you have a sewing machine, you can save the $30 bucks. Even if you screw things up, the material is sooo cheap you can keep trying. I was thinking of making them and selling them, I dunno - It's pretty simple, anyone can do it.

Oh great, even more competition for door panels (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
JK, they look great. The 1/2" foam may have been over kill, though. I am making a set like yours for a client right now. Red-beards look like that, and I will likely be going the same route. Are the pleats sewn through the panel? |

Could I get a pattern for the panel? I want to do something similar but use some aluminum I have instead of particle board...

You guys are killin me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Ze pleats are sewn in, with a piece of cotton fabric over the back so the stitches don't pull through. Hey scottyb (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) these were the original panels from the car so I figured what the heck, nothing else on the car is really original anymore anyhoo. I DO have a set without holes that I'm gonna redo as well, but there are some cracks in them that I hafta fix first. I'll load the pattern pics and pleat patterns next week from home (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |
