I'd love to have the fiberboard panels available, this is exactly along the lines of what I had in mind to do someday. I'm tapped out ATM but one of these days. Unless they're pretty cheep.
I saw a Datsun wagon on "Garage Dreams" last week that had door cards like the one J posted, but with a red line along the top of the cards that went all the way around the interior. It was instant eureka! That's what I want. But not red.

J,
Let me know also when you get pricing on both kinds.

Not sure what the cost will be. I use 1/8"-T6 6061 aluminum and the rear cargo panel blanks I had made were a little over $165 each. Then I have shipping to me, shipping to you, hardware and then profit margins.
So "cheap" may not be an appropriate definition.

I've handmade several sets over the years for guys. But, CNC router would be ideal for a better cost and consistent repeatability.

Pardon my ignorance, there are a few acronyms above I'm not familiar with. Not sure if these have been mentioned however this is the style/material I'm looking for. Any thoughts?

Cargo blanks.

Looks like a boat deck material to me. I'm not familiar with it. Wouldn't be an offering from me.

Pretty solid and light, almost looked like carbon fiber up close.
Would the ones you are looking to produce be of similar design but with aluminum? I'm interested, just want to be clear on what the end result would look like before committing the cash. Thanks!

Pretty much identical to what you posted, but smooth panels, no design or texture. Here is one of the (early 60) cargo panel blanks. Bad pic, but gives an idea.

I'm still interested.
Any progress here?
Any chance you would sell a dimensional pattern (drawing/cad file) vs the final product so I could make my own without having to measure everything?
Isnt that like asking the Colonel to share the secret original fried chicken recipe?

I used to hear that all the time when I was making bumpers, "can you just sell me the CAD drawings so I can make my own bumper?" Yeah right. Most were shocked when I told them I have no CAD drawings just a notebook with all my numbers and notes.
