The strips are off the sides of an old Plymouth, cut to length and the ends finished with a hammer, dolly, and file.

I dimpled holes at each end and used wood screws into the door. At the bottom I used 1957 Buick kick panel trim cut down to fit. The stainless is mostly what holds the door panels on.

I like them, it really adds to the design of your interior panels

Those door panels look great! I'm too far into it now to switch to aluminum, we'll see how it goes.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Hey thanks,

It takes a long time to figure out what your going to do, and then do it.

The contact cement  works great. If you brush it on it be careful not to get it to thick and let it dry a bit before applying the material otherwise it can make your fabric look saggy.

The spray gun works great for a eaven application. A quart costs $13, prety cheap compared to a few cans of 3m brand spray glue.

I did use wind lace on the front and back of the door, I stapled into the wood but the pop rivet idea sounds good into metal.  At the top I used light foam covered with fabric on the top of the door for the seal.

  You know  that i like everything and yes there are some great ideas here. When i did the interior of the tear drop for my daughter I found a hardware store that was by a marina. and i purchased a box of 100 of these little round grommets stainless steel and i also purchased stainless steel screws.When i was assembling this I made sure that i had all the grains on all the pieces going the same way. I used birch,then i found a real nice fawn maple stain. and this worked out great. I see very few street rods especially older ones that have a real wood look on the inside  just one man's opinion  PS  don't get  sun burnt   vette59jdwl

I have a complete seat for a model A coupe. It has the complete frame and adjustors, no upholstery on the springs, if any one is interested.

I fit and trimmed the passenger lower side panel for the interior, cut and bent the upper driver's side panel, fit in the driver's side lower panel, cut down and welded the interior trim pieces and trimmed out the panel and fit in the trim on the passenger side. Here's some pictures:

Here's a couple more pictures, sorry for the glare. I used a rotozip to cut out for  the window trim, it works real nice when you go slow.

Yes it is holding its shape. It is fitting vey well but I may mist it with water while it is in place just to try and get it 100%.

That's the reason I asked, it looks to be bending and fitting nice into the curves, it's looking good
