Technical Where can I find interior door panels?

I’m looking for 1949 Ford two door interior door panels some of them “door cards”. Years ago, I bought a universal kit that was ABS plastic and drilled my own holes. I wish I could find a generic set like that. I can just go buy a sheet of FRP plastic, but of course a pre-cut set is the easiest,

 

Builder supply ,like HomeDepot have 4x8 n other sizes, sheets of 1/8 inch plywood { Door skins* for house doors,that works pretty good to make your own. Same places have plastic/fiberglass bathroom wall coving [ its about 3/16th or less an water proof ] and work pretty well too.
I did a "Do It Your Self, Tech at home" with some tips an trick,you may find info in to help out !

Thanks.

 

I'm doing the door panels on the Checker right now, 1/8" masonite is what they had, and what they're getting to replace the originals. 4x8 sheet is less than $20

 

I bought a universal kit from Speedway. It cost more than I wanted to pay, but it comes with the clips. I’ve done this before and attaching generic panels to the door can be a hassle.

 

I attached mine with velcro and a screw in each lower corner. Holds great and easy to remove.

 

Cheap flat panel tub surround.

 

Mine's indoor/outdoor boat & deck carpet from the HomeDepot. Affixed to bare metal with glue/double-sided carpet tape. No panels.

 

I used the Velcro on my 57 Chevy and that made the door panel stick out too far from my liking.

 

Every time I have seen it done I have thought the same thing.

 

Something I've never heard of is ABS/LAUAN laminate, 5/32" thick, available in a few colors.
Not cheap though!

I found sheets of thin ABS plastic on the bay, $150.

 

If you want to mount like the originals style. Buy a circle die set and punch holes in the door cardboard and use
Auveco 11863 Door Trim Panel Fastener Clip for Ford 383033-S101 (Qty:50)

First make a paper template and note where the holes are or make new holes. And I believe you have to offset the hole so the clip center is at the hole.

I don't believe the Velcro holds good enough in some cases.

 

Sureply which is available at Lowe’s again now is pretty nifty stuff for this type of thing. It’s a 3 ply exterior grade underlayment thats 1/4”. Pretty flexible if you need it to.

 

Made lots of panels out of 1/8 Luan Mahogany waterproof plywood.

 

Stick a clear piece of plastic sheet over the inside of the door, mark out edges and holes, transfer to your sheet and away you go.

 

Will the '49 be the same as a '50?
2 door sedan or 2 door coupe?

I used old city transit bus ad signs that I got for free from the transit bus garage.

 

I used 1/4 luan on our '41. lasted 25 yrs. painted the hell out of it and glued plastic on back

Dang it, I don’t know why the 50 would be different than the 49. I think I’ll send that generic kit back and buy these. The hardest part has to be locating those holes. Thanks.

 

I have used Sintra, a PVC sheet material. It's shapeable using a heat gun and glueable using superglue. Also waterproof. I used 1/8" and got a 4x8 sheet from a local sign shop. Not cheap, but I did an entire Model A cab with one sheet including the interior rear corners where it transitions from curved at the top to 90 degrees lower down.
