Thread: Another interior question

As you may be seeing, nomenclature has a way of getting pushed out of shape. The ABS I'm talking about isn't used for shower walls, it is used by people who just might know a little bit about upholstery; https://www.lebaronbonney.com/cart/itemdesc.php?ic=3580

Google plastic suppliers in your area for local availability.

You might get some ideas from this article: http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/interio...do-upholstery/

Uncle Bob, thanks for those links. I used Luan plywood on the '33, and was not very happy with it - too thick in some critical clearance areas, and not friendly to modify to fit over hinge plates, etc. I was thinking that aluminum panels were going to be my choice on the '32, as I had totally forgotten about that article in Hot Rod not too long ago - CRS again.... I will definitely be looking at ABS when I get to that point, and may even follow the lead of the Hot Rod crew for some pre-sewn panels!

BTW - here's a link to one of the plastics suppliers info page, where they discuss glue to be used that's stronger than the original panels, etc - ABS Plastic Sheet: ABS Sheet Plastic Easy to Thermoform | Find Black ABS Plastic, ABS Plastic Properties ABS Royalite Sheet at ABS Supplier Curbell Plastics *
