Door panel.....attempt #1
Permalink  
 

My first attempt at a door panel. Just playing around and trying my hand at it. It's far from perfect, a work in progress.

Better adhesive next time is a must!!

Does anyone know where to get 3M panel adhesive or any other recommendations?

My supplier used to carry it in gallons, but it's now not available. It was never available in aerosol. Do a bit of digging, and if you cant find anything I will give them a call for you. I used it on my car and it's been awesome for 7+ years.

I used vinyl too, but there's many different grades. Whatever you do, don't get talked into Ultraleather. It's a dated material, expensive, and marks fairly easily.

Thanks Ghostpost!!

 

Hemi43,

To be honest, these aren't the colors or the material I want. I am toying with the idea of tackling my own interior!?! Instead of ordering $$$$$ in material, I went to fabricland and bought 1m of each color, probably not the greatest stuff. Just wanted to get an idea of how it would turn out.......and not waste "good" material.

$40 in material (including board, glue and vinyl) and a couple hours last night..................it will probably just hang in the shop as a reminder of where I started!

I'm glad to hear you're doing it yourself. It's really not that difficult, and will save you thousands. I did my complete interior including sewing the seats,and while it's not perfect, getting a "professional" to do it may not get you perfect results either. I'm located in Newcastle, so if you're stuck on something, just ask. Make sure you use quality materials, because it will haunt you down the road if you don't. The best advice I can give since you're just starting out, is read about the proper techniques and procedures for doing interiors. I have a couple of good books, but I lent them out. Fabricland is probably not the place to be buying automotive fabrics. Thankfully everything is available in Pickering.

Another place to check out is Len's Mills, they have a whack of stuff to choose from. There are getting to be stores all over now.

 Good to know. I'm not an expert, but will show him the little I know. Besides, I get upholstery supplies at cost !!

Door panel looks great. Nice work.

I am also doing my interior or gathering supplies to start. I need about 30 feet of wind lace 3/8 or 1/2". Any suppliers?

Here's a useful link.
