[Healeys] Door card material

[Stephen Hutchings]

I bought commercially made ones, and then ended up carefully removing the upholstery and putting it over aluminum panels (someone else has suggested aluminum) because the original material was too thick. There was no way my doors were closing properly until I did this.

For example, you might get caught in a heavy rain storm before you can find a spot to erect the top & install the side curtains (if your car has them). The material might buckle, warp or delaminate if it is not water resistant.

I'm leaning towards Baltic Birch plywood at this point but I would like the infinite wisdom of this list before I go down that, or any other, road.
