    Absolutely brilliant thanks Mate! Not many could so accurately describe the steps and do the steps at the same time without cutting themselves. I am a few weeks away from doing this on my early bay. Didn’t know where to start but now I have your video.

    A very useful video, thanks John. I had no idea how to do this job, I'm part way through my first door card, following the method shown.

    Nice tip with the underlay, helps insulate, but I’ll still add some upholstery wadding between it and the vinyl for a more ‘professional’ and better looking end result... especially helps to soften and protect vinyl on the edges of the card over time if some wadding between vinyl and square edges of the wood

    Nice job. I remember when I had my 60 VW van, I was living in Seattle. Boeing had a big surplus center where you could purchase parts cheap. I finished the inside of mine with a interior panels from the interior of planes. I also purchased some aircraft passenger seats and installed them in the front, replacing the original seats. Back then, the airlines made comfortable seats.

      They still do, they're just much more expensive than the cattle car airlines wish to pay. All the stuff they failed to sell in Seattle, they would sell at EAA Oshkosh the following summer.

      Sounds like an awesome resource to have had available.

      Is Oshkosh a place? I only know the name from tank transporter trucks that the UK military now use now instead of the mighty, but very old Scammel Commander. Which had a V12 Rolls Royce/perkins Diesel.
