Hello CECHAFLO good day, greetings and congratulations, as always GREAT video on this door panel, thank you for your video, once again fraternal greetings, your friend Oscar.

[@teresahardy5895]

Wow !! I think Cechaflo is from another planet.

[@jorgesoto4847]

Man, the way you did that corner was awesome. You definitely learn something new everyday with your videos. 👍👏❤

[@DanTheManIOM]

i just knew I would learn something. I wondered if he was going to a french seam on the door panel, but I like the recesses done with precision. The double cuts in the inside corner, and that other corner...you did the other corner, pinch, pliers, trim it. Sewing, well, watch the magic happen before your eyes with Chechaflo !

[@OnlythaRealness]

I do upholstery with my grandpa and that you soo much he stitches his panels usually but I really like this was of cutting out and inglueing the design if that's even a word haha

[@40mick]

You make it look like anyone could do this. A true craftsman and a testament to the skill in telling your story through video!

[@vdubjunkie]

Another beautiful piece of work. VW door cards really need to stay very thin, so it's hard to do anything too amazing with them. This is an elegant, and functional design.

This is fantastic. Thank you. Do you have a video showing more detail on the pocket? I'm guessing I'll need very soft vinyl and very strong elastic??

Hopefully you can get a strong elastic strip. Those tire bladders are also useful if you cut it off in strips.

At the age of 37 now I just bought a second hand sweing machine Seiko sth-8bld for doing my hobby sewing my car- boat upholstery. My job is car mechanic from the age of 12 (second generation my father also). I prefer to sewing something from going out to a club late at night because I love your work. You are my teacher many thanks for all that i 've seen on youtube, words like excellent technician for you is small. I am very sad about what happened on youtube and I can feel you how angry feel.

Sir, you do exultant work. Watching you is like watching myself. We both strive for perfection. Like myself you would not have it any other way. Beauty comes in many forms like the curves of the female body. Your work is like that. Very refined . There is one request I would ask from you. That is, 'would you please narrate your video' with speech? I think your video's would be much better if you were narrating them. Keep'em coming mate . Thank you for your time showing the world your knowledge.

[@Cechaflo]

Dear Fabio, Thanks for watching! Shoemakers use these cardboards for insole. Try to find a similar in Brazil. This other video also shows a similar technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIu3Z4mfgbtmlZY

[@Cechaflo]

If the 'door panel cardboard base is broken' try to use a special cardboard resistant to heat and humidity. Something like Greg used (original material) for his car door panels:kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYq7n4Gwd5mjrtk

[@michaelwools9538]

Hello your video is very helpful iam about 2 build my second pair of door panels last time I used foam this time iam going to use paperboard so my question is how to keep from seeing the door clips under the vinyl after installing the door clips? Any advice is appreciated

[@Cechaflo]

The sample of the video has two layers of cardboard. The first is the base and should be the original thickness. The cut layers on top are distributed and glued down to the cardboard base. In fact the clips will be fastened to the cardboard base holes. To avoid any protrusion on top view the thinner cardboard on top should have a recess on its reverse just enough to house the fastening part of the door clip. If we would upholster a plain design on a VW door panel cardboard, then the clips would go hidden beneath the foam. We should leave a small gap with no glue to let the clip be fastened to the cardboard easily. Hope it helps.

[@michaelwools9538]

@@Cechaflo I did a couple of samples today and that's one of the ways I did it thank you so much for responding and the knowledge

[@Cechaflo]

@@michaelwools9538 That is great, Michael ! I would recommend you a wet-proof cardboard. Other cardboards warp with humidity. Greg shows in his video the right cardboard:kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYq7n4Gwd5mjrtk ABS material is also advisable. John shows and explains in his video about this material for door panels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqaoinlpra9meqc Best wishes, Cesar

Increíble! un placer ver todo el proceso! Alguna idea de como se hacían originalmente los relieves con calor? o cómo se podrían replicar con calor DIY? Mi VW es de los 60s y las tapas que llevaban tienen sólo lineas horizontales paralelas, que supongo es un poco más fácil de replicar.

Hello mark, it is a kind of cardboard shoemakers use it for shoe's insoles. The thickness is 2.2 mm Same material was used on this video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIu3Z4mfgbtmlZY Welcome to this channel anytime!

I did not use any foam on this project. I used a thin 3 mm thick soft and flexible cardboard instead. Shoemakers use this cardboard for insoles. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3eYon9vq6atnrMsi=bRS5m-kabn-TC2Bz&t=18 I used the same cardboard on this other door panels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIu3Z4mfgbtmlZYsi=KDU3YVEHTaoQ3Z4i&t=161 Eva high density foam (latex foam) could also be used for door panels: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faK6qKKaf5p8ircsi=Vx_UGgeVg_ZlpbTK&t=2526 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aF6pf6N7ebKqb5Ysi=k-eQtssHm57XI-hy&t=48

[@nashwanabdan3084]

what about Retainer, Door Trim?

[@Cechaflo]

This panel is a smaller sample than normal VW panels. I did this video only to demonstrate a way to replicate a real VW panel. No problem with the retainers/trim fastener. They could be fastened as it is done on a real panel.

[@franciscocosta9992]

what is the recommended material to make door panels?

[@Cechaflo]

A waterproof material (plastic or cardboard) that endures humidity. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqaoinlpra9meqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYq7n4Gwd5mjrtk

[@franciscocosta9992]

Thanks you 🙏

[@adeeponionbrah]

Cechaflo, how do you ensure the facing leatherette stays in all the grooves, long term? It did not look like contact cement was used. It appeared to be a low tack adhesive since you could reposition the facing material when setting it on the substrate.

[@Cechaflo]

Interesting questions! If you watch carefully the video you would realize I have used some 'tips' to make the 'channel shapes' last long. 1. The 'stretchy side of vinyl' is in vertical direction of horizontal channels...that way, it easier enter into the grooves...in other words it should not be forced. 2. The vinyl was just placed in a soft way over the panel to let it slide into the grooves. 3. The stitcking process has also much to do. I first liberally applied a coat of glue over the 'cardboard channels' (just the channels) as a primer. I did the same with vinyl material. After letting them dry I applied a thorough coat of glue.

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Jeffrey, I have used a 'yellow brushable glue':kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWPblpiwmatridU You would need to find a similar. It could be weldwood contact cement, petronio's glue, etc. I used a thick cardboard board (shoemakers' material) for this sample. I cannot recommend because it could warp because of heat or humidity. You would need to get the special cardboard for your door panels. I am sending you some useful links to get a much better panel backing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pF6tpJSQl6qdiKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYq7n4Gwd5mjrtk www.automotiveinteriors.com/waterproof-cardboard-door-panel-board-cowlboard-p/cowl-dp.htm

[@Cechaflo]

Ese material es un cartón duro que usan los zapateros para planta de zapatos. Es fuerte, pero no resiste la humedad y llega a torcerse.

Cesar buen dia el material gris que usas de base como se llama o donde lo consigues... la base cafe creo que es planta tipo celtec pero el gris no se como se llama.... por cierto todo un placer ver tu trabajo, siempre muy bien terminado y cuidado en los detalles.... todos mis respetos!!!! saludos desde leon gto

[@Cechaflo]

El material gris es un simple 'cartón suave prensado' de 1.3 mm de espesor, que se usa en artes gráficas. Se puede conseguir en tiendas que venden artículos, tales como cartulinas, papel de oficina, plumas, etc. En Office Depot, Lumen, etc. A manera de base utilizé cartón mas duro de 3mm de grosor. Este cartón grueso lo usan los zapateros. ¡Reciba Ud. también un cordial saludo!

[@Cechaflo]
