fabrication help.

Post by racycle »

Anyone have any pointers on fabricating the back panels?

Here are mine

Now the section that I painted green (not the masking tape), I want to make soft with fabric to match my back seats. I have no clue how i would go about making it work and stay in shape with the panel. I was thinking some spray glue , but that would still make the outcome hard.

Please don't tap on the hood. It disturbs the gerbils.

Place fabric onto 1/4 inch foam, glue fabric on back of 1/4 inch foam.
Glue 1/4 inch foam back to panel.
Ooooo soft and spongy.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

If you want in softer than factory, then try foam-backed fabric... Try this--->

Nope...well it shouldn't. Use a fabric with a good backing and you won't have any issues. Don't buy some cheap cotton-like material from the fabric store, the glue might soak through.
