Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Door panel question????

Thanks Doc...I appreciate the come back..In the past with my L.U.V. truck...this may sound stoopid but it worked....what I did was take a spray bottle with nothing but warm water and basically water damaged an already water damaged door panel....Then placed the door panel on concrete and used weight(like big friggin' rocks) and plywood to flatten it out....After about 2-3 days of drying time door panel was as flat as the concrete and the plywood... The water softened the door panel, and the weight pressed it flat.....May sound like a wierd way but it did flatten out.. What I was afraid of was the L.U.V. panel was made of a different material then the AMC panel and they are. Being a door panel not only made by 2 different companies and being 10 years in different age. Plus, the panels for my truck I believe are made to get wet, to some degree and to be able to "straighten" them selves out....to some extent. You dont normally take your car places you take your pickup truck. All though I have been known to....do some really dum stuff in the past!! INSTANT BUTT HEAD...JUST ADD ALCHOHOL!! LOL!! :)= Thanks again Doc. Bill Id.

Forget the fiber board. The water damage has ruined the door panel. The original pressed card board backing is available at any competent upholstery shop for 12$ a sheet. Use your old one as a template. You should be able to make 2 door panels from one sheet. I made all new door panels and hatch area panels with this stuff. "Doc"

Can a person re-shape a door panel that is warped? The drivers side door panel on my 1970 Hornet is in good shape, but has had some water damage and is in need of some way of reshaping. Is it possible to reshape, or am I stuck in making a new panel out of fiber board. I thought that I would ask before I try my own method, maybe someone has an idea besides my way. Any responce will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Bill Id.
