Another 52 interior door panel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**oldman3** · 02-11-2020, 05:48 PM

Hey everyone. I'm going to show how I made another door panel. This is based on the new way my son (Mark -Reaper71) and I learned from Erin. It is different and a new learning curve, but not bad. I didn't take a lot of pics because of this, new way, but it should show enough to be able to follow. If there are any question let me know...Jim

Pic #1 This is the panel I built back in May of 2019 for my friend Ed. This panel he wanted installed using screws (his call not mine). The panel had been taken off and on so may times by him and others, that it really looked bad and beyond repair. So here we go...

This is Ed's door, this is NOT how you cut a door to install power windows (NOT OUR WORK).

I'm going to show each pic with remarks one at a time, so it's easier to follow.
This is the 20 gauge sheet metal that was formed to door shape. The white 1/8" plastic has been glued to the panel. (Panel was sanded in area where plastic will go, then super glued applied to metal, the spray activator on plastic and held together.

This is the insert piece with the plastic that will be glued to insert.

Here I've set the metal insert piece into place. (earlier I had drilled 1/8" holes thru both panels to know where magnets would go.)

**oldman3** · 02-11-2020, 06:03 PM

Here the 1/8" plastic has been glued to the metal (super glue,activator) insert piece, then I will trim to the metal.
