I think most of my panels are made of thin Masonite, like 1/8 inch or
thereabouts. The door panels have a formed part that follow a curve,
but it's not a compound curve so you have some options on making them
fit. ABS of a similar thickness would be a more expensive, but more
water-proof solution, don't know about acoustics. (I bought door
panels 10 years ago , and made the rear panels. The panels behind
the door are flat, I think, so no problem there. A trip to Home
Depot , some 1/8 masonite panels, and a bulk pack of saber saw
blades, and you're in bizniss. I'll be recreating panels on my truck
at some point...
