DIY Custom Curved Interior Trim Panels for Cars

Book excerpt: It's normally difficult to make interior car trim panels that look right. That's especially the case when the panel needs to curve in two directions at once - to be compound curved. But in this short booklet, author Julian Edgar shows a completely new way of making these panels. It's quick, easy (no hours of sanding!) and gives excellent results. The approach uses a very special technique that produces sandwich layer foam panels that can easily be trimmed in carpet or cloth. The panels can be curved however you like, and provide good sound and heat insulation. The panels can be produced at home, require no special tools and use readily available materials. In this booklet more than 65 colour photos are used to show the step-by-step of making flat-faced panels, 3-layer foam curved panels and 5-layer foam curved panels. There's also pages on how to trim the panels in carpet, on the correct materials to use, and hints and tips. So start making interior trunk panels, door trims and kick panels for your car, truck or RV today.
