Thread: What to use for door panels?

Tweet

I made a set for a big ugly '70 Dodge 3/4 ton crew cab I owned.

I used tempered masonite. It can be had in thinner sheets than the 1/4 inch stuff you usually see and isn't stiff as a hoe handle like the quarter inch.

It worked fine.

Thanks for the input guys. All great ideas! Where did you get your tempered masonite Big Tracks?

Oh, man, T42 .......

I can't say exactly where I did get the stuff. All I can remember is that We lived in Amarillo at the time. Our son was born there and he'll turn 29 in a few days, so it has been a while!

My guess is that it was a locally owned building materials company which has since gone kaput. That doesn't do you a bit of good.

I do recall that what I used was 1/8 inch.

You might try googling "tempered masonite" or "tempered hardboard" or something of the sort.

I don't think it was very expensive because I was just a broke then as I am now.

Good luck! I hope you can sniff some out.
