The latest problem I have come across while dealing with my Fiat Spider are the door cards. Under the upholstery on the doors is an 1/8" piece of masonite ( a material easily acquired at your home store ). A few weeks ago I picked up some masonite along with a sheet of MDF to create a template. Two nights ago I stripped the vinyl, foam and hardware from the door card. Today I glued the warped door card to my piece of MDF by spraying it with adhesive and sandwiching it between two hollow core doors (*see notation below).
Tonight I will remove the card and MDF from the rig and see if it adhered properly. If so, I will use my saw, drill and router template bit to create a perfect template for additional card creation. Who knows, maybe I'll start selling cards. After the template is made it is relatively easy to replicate the shape. PIcs to come.
*Hollow core doors are amazing for the DIY individual. They can become a work space on saw horses, block dust when cutting, make cheap workbench tops, are a flat surface on grass to paint and even for squishing two boards together so they glue up well. If you find any at a yard sale or replace any in your house, be sure to have at least two laying around to help you out.
