    1/8 inch Lauan.

    It's what the pros use, good enough for me.

    If 1/8 isn't available 5 mil will do, it's a tad thicker.

    Available at Lowe's or Home Depot.

    That's what I used for the panels on my "Suede Swede" - worked like a champ !
    I like your headliner pattern - good idea . I'm glad I didn't chop mine . I could just order-up my headliner & slap it in . Well it wasn't THAT easy , LOL !!

    I hope that I can pull it off.

    Who did you order the interior from? They obviously do custom to your colors and patterns?

    How did you attach your door panels? Screws? Clips? What about the other panels?
