Hi everyone: Glad I was able to save reggiedog some dough.He owes me a brew
The material appears to be just a cardboard material covered with a water resistant coating. It's pretty stiff now with age and can be easily snapped in pieces.
Re the shape they may have been made from leftover pieces but still a peculiar shape especially the semi hole.
I'm still very disappointed with the two interior suppliers that they don't properly reproduce the coachlace trim that goes along the top of the door panels.I am getting my made at thistlehillweavers.com in Cherry Valley New York when the CDN dollar is more favorable.They have the original Ford looms. You would think yhey could work with the upolstery suppliers.It's expensive but one of the most visible areas of the car. The new judging guidelines show an original door panel with this coachlace(they call it broadlace) in a business coupe.It is also in the Tudor.I've attached a photo of mine taken from an unexposed area behind the rear seat.It's a much nicer pattern than offered anywhere else.I've attached of what the coachlace should look like in an early 28 CDN car.
