    Early door card material, where can I find it

    Anyone have a source for the early door card material? What is it made of and what is the silver finish on the inside face, paint? Looking for something suitable for a 67. Is there a proven method to flatten warped cards? I know lots of questions, any help would be appreciated.

    Skip,

    I used Coreflute for my door panels, it's the stuff they make real estate signs out of.

    It's light and completely water proof, takes glue and staples well.

    You may have to order the 3mm staples from an online store, or purchase some from an upholstry store.

    The next best thing is marine grade Masonite, it's water resistant, but now water proof.

    Hope that helps.

    That sounds like the material used for the cardboard fuse cover. In LWB cars, a cardboard like material was used, but instead of a silver facing, the inner door shell was covered in a plastic membrane sheet, which I imagine does a better job of waterproofing. I have and have used the Appbiz parts and I have also cut my own out of Lexan, which obviates the need for the membrane.

    The SWB door card and the fuse cover was indeed the same material.
