Any pics of the 1/4 panels(interior) you had to redo? I always wonder how one would do them. Was it hard? Do you glass them to finish or do something entirely different to mimmic the grain pattern?
I wish I could say I'm further along, but as long as I'm moving forward I'm happy.

I just started the interior panels, but as soon as I have them filled and painted I'll post more pics.
I used 2 inch metal strips, screwed together with sheet metal screws to fit them in the car. After I had them fitting the way I wanted, I formed some 18 gauge sheetmetal from 3 different pieces to get the shape and then welded them together. I used some 1/8" rivets to join the metal to the plastic.
I can't really say how this is going to turn out, but looks promising so far.
Once I have them filled, I'm going to retexure them with Sem texturing paint, then I'll paint them with the interior black paint. I have a feeling these interior panels are not that easy to paint too. I'm trying some adhesion promoter between all my coats of filler and paint.
If they end up cracking, chipping I'll just get them upholstered.

Since you are in Burnaby, you could try Fiber-tek, or industrial Plastics. They might have some ideas on what type of products you could use. I think a lot of it depends on the plastics

If you wanted to do the work, they have the products there to be able to make a mould of your panel then recast it in fiber glass

Default Couple updates!

Took a chance and installed my own headliner, it actually turned out near perfect. Few YouTube videos later and it was in!
Also finished one of my rear seat interior panels. I have some serious hours in these. Lol
They turned out fairly nice, pretty hard to tell they’ve been stretched.

Details on the inner panel procedure you used to get that finish? That looks amazing.

Thanks,

I’d say they turned out nice! I could use a set of these for my project.

Jim, these are all the products I used to do these panels. After body work and primer I sprayed the SEM texturing paint and then sanded it lightly with 400 grit to get a uniform texture. Once that was done I sprayed with the OER black paint. I also included a pic of the panels before the plastic filler!

Hope this helps!
