New Door Panels
« on: March 06, 2011, 05:18:34 PM »
So I decided i could spend the money better than on diamond plate door panels. While at walmart i found some Mossy Oak cloth. So i decided to go this route with the door panels. The passenger side wood piece was intact so I did it first. I will have to get a piece of paneling tomorrow to make the drivers side. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

All you need is good spray adhesive, rubber gloves and some patience.

That's cool. I can't even see the window crank.  ;D On a serious note when I redid mine I used masonite. I wish I had the camo though. The guy that did my seats covered the door panels with the same vinyl as the seat sides. He put some thin foam under the vinyl.

Removed old black covering. Had to remake the board part of drivers side. It is not finished quite yet. The black vinyl was nuked on both sides.

The door handle was not on yet on that picture :)

I went to the lumber yard. They didnt sell anything that was like that. However: A piece that they used to cover the lumber when it was shipped was almost exactly the same. And it was free!!!

I would think that you could use 1/8th" masonite or paneling for the door backing.

3M spray on adhesive would be my pick of glue to use. The trick is to spray both the backboard and the cover material. Let them set until they start to get tacky.

Then start from outside edge and gently roll the material across while working out the bubbles. I use a plastc bondo paddle but any firm but flexible non scuffing type straight edge about 3" will do.

I like the Mossy Oak panels you did and they look real nice.
I know the voices aren't real.... but they have some pretty kewl ideas!!! Tux.....  ;-)
