foam board

[shine]

well my interior panels are made. what a leaning experience . the board was much harder to work with than i thought. not bad but there are some quirks to it . cutting and heating were a eye opener. when cutting it can shatter . cuts much easier when warmed up. a lite cut first is easier to do and the following cut will follow it very well . on heating i found it does not like the heat gun. very easy to over heat . i found that by using my space heater to warm the piece evenly it would shape easier.
all in all not too bad. hopefully i will get better with it. still light years ahead of black board or plywood.
next step is sewing all the panels . after which i will likely change my user name to Flipper .

I'll have to google or bing it, interested 'cause I still want/need to finish my trunk area in the coupe.

Keep us informed, this is something I may or may not want to learn. I got those cheezy cardboard panels for the 53 and I don't think that are going to last forever.

it's called expanded pvc sheet .

Thanks Shine.

Buy the black PVC Shine, works much easier, and does NOT shatter when cutting. Bends real easy with heat gun.

you may be right don . the cab corners are turning into a nightmare . heading out tomorrow to pick up a sheet of abs to make the corners out of .

Thanks for sharing this. Can you sew right to it or do you glue your material to it after you sew it?

[shine]

either way . some panels i may sew the edge . these corner pieces were the hardest .
