How to Make a Cheap Home Made Door Panel For a 57 Chevy or Any Classic Car

How to make a door panel for cheap. The material used is called Masonite or hardboard, and I used a yoga mat purchased at Walmart to use as padding.

Nice work. I love the budget minded approach. I’m definitely doing this to my 55 Chevy.

[@andreww3643]

I think you did a fine job on this. Can't wait to see your finished interior. I found this helpful on my own project that I'm working on. Thank you.

This helped me make my panels for my '48 Plymouth

Thanks for sharing. I have a 57 Chevy Bel Air 4 door Sedan as well. My first restore

Nice job! I’m gearing up to do door panels on my 2 door coupe hot rod. This definitely helps.

Stop. Rethink this. You really don’t want your girlfriend to stop doing yoga, do you?

Working on my Dream Car...💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥.. Nice work, great idea with the yoga mat.. Doing my 77 Chrysler New Yorkers interior, I just might use mat if I don't make it to the store soon Lol

The windlace for classic Mustangs used to be dirt cheap. I suggest looking into that. I can't tell you what it costs now. Thanks for making the video.

I like the video, I think you should have mentioned since this is a how to vid that contact adhesive goes on both surfaces and you wait till it's dry before you put them together

[@robertcampbell5485]

Lol not bad the replacements are pretty expensive I’ll do the same on mine I like it .

Perfect.

Waterproof those cards with TotalBoat penetrating epoxy. 2-3 coats: The epoxy is thin and will absorb into the door cards making them extremely tough and waterproof. This also works excellent for restoring old water damaged cards.

Awesome advice

I just found your channel and subscribed great work.

[@user-be7oh5uc7n]

Nice job 👍

[@jesusrocha9000]

Good job

[@shanew.williams]

Of course you can make your own new door panels IF they are as fortunate as you to already have the existing "cardstock" @0:13 . How do i make myself a new door panel if i have NOTHING of the 67 year old upholstery left ? Thanks

[@kennethhunter8348]

Do you happen to have templates for these? My 57 doesn’t have anything and I feel like I could manage doing this

[@Chevman-jt6qj]

I used the original door panels.

[@dougbadgeley7737]

Where did ya get the chrome trim stuff?

[@farmerbrown3768]

I’m guessing that part is recycled from the original door panel!

[@9thgatedim273]

Where u get the board from

[@Chevman-jt6qj]

Lowes

[@9thgatedim273]

Thanks just finished my 4 door 55 wish I could send u pics

[@georgesand4629]

What did you use to cut the hardboard?

[@robertcampbell5485]

Probably a jigsaw

[@Freejohnsilkyputty]

What is the windlace for? That foam rope stuff.
