4String Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 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?

Don Ridley Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Pictures have to be hosted on another site like Flickr. You insert the URL for the photos in your post and they are displayed on this site. There are several threads on how to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafer Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 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.
