Gary mentions use of Masonite. Good idea! I did this with the '78 B,
but be forewarned that you should try to use the thinnest Masonite. I
used the 3/16" material and the finished door panel made putting the
black trim rings around the door handle very difficult. 1/8" material
would be more appropriate. Very easy to cut. Much, much more durable
than the cardboard.

BTW. Use 3M adhesive only and follow the directions.
