Re-doing an interior and want to go with a pro-street look. I see aluminum door panels that look like sheet aluminum? Is that really what it is? How is it usually attatched? Where would I get them? BTW this is not in the truck, in my Nova. Thanks again guys!!

Unless its a race car do yourself a favour and use thick enough aluminum that it wont rattle constantly. Also I would use a little insulator (rubber,tar paper etc) between the sheet alum and anything else it may touch. Those really thin panels drive me nuts when they buzz from engine vibration.
