Little known fact: If you examine snazzy, covered door panels from a highly
optioned truck you will find that the factory just upholstered regular old steel
door panels. Just get yours done whatever way you want.

They have door panels that you can study for ideas, or to buy. I also had a Sewfine brochure that had samples of all of the materials they offered and some styling ideas. I don't have their web address, but you can Google "sewfine" and get it, if they have one.

I'm building some for mine. I started with a 1/4" thick wood base, some 1/4" foam and some upholstery that matches my seat. There will be a design put into em to get rid of a little bit of the plain-ness, but its kind of hard to explain. I'll post up some pics when they're finished.
