Interior door panels

I promised I would post pics of the panel change I made in my 17 XLT.

i bought the ABS plastic sheet from TAP plastics for about $70. I re-used the plastic clips from the stock Masonite panels. They are virtually the same thickness. The ABS is 1/8" I believe. 

Anyway, bought a saw blade made for cutting plastic. HUGE difference from a fine metal cutting blade. Very impressive smooth cuts. 

I traced th old panels to the new material, and drilled undersized holes for the clips, to insure a tight fit. It took awhile, and takes a bit of time to cut the door pieces. Looks FAR better that the cheap looking Masonite panels.

 

now unable to load more pics?

I'm looking forward to viewing the pic's 4String.  Using plastic for door panels is a new idea and worth looking at.  It also provides room for the addition of LED lighting to back light the panels.  That would be interesting too.  Anyway, good luck and I'll await the pics.  If interested in lighting see superbrightleds.com
