Project "49 No Buck$"

It could be some sort of styrene, he called it PVC. Its 1/8" thick and flexes like Lexan. I cut it with plastic holder, slide out breakaway blades. I kept the blade short so if I slipped I wouldn't lose a finger! Used a straightedge and took my time and it would cut through in 2 or 3 passes! It was fairly simple if you take your time. It drills really nice too. For the speaker holes I drew the circle with a compass and just freehand cut it.

Thanks for the info. I will have to check my local sign shop for some of the material. I'm sure they will have something similar at very least. I am using some thin abs plastic panels for my panel truck's interior side panels but that was mostly because they were cheap and 4'x8' sheets. But this stuff looks like it would be great for the headliner and misc. other panels like you have used. Thanks for sharing!
