Yeah, well all the stuff that you just told me to give up on is all the stuff that I have tried and am giving up on. I will now go to Wolfsburg West and order some.

Part of my hesitation is that I like to color them or put fabric to them and it won't be as much fun if I have to buy 'em, but what are ya gonna do.

Great show. As is the case with all the shows, whoever is the host is way too busy to visit with anybody.

See you at the Classic and then at Psychobilly 4.

Denis:
If you are replacing these things as original (grey cardboard/panel board) your best bet is to order the replacements from Wolfsburg West. They don't cost much and they fit perfectly. I have successfully, but with lots of work, made them from the panel board that you build door panels out of after making a pattern with poster board. But let me tell you, it ain't worth the effort. And if you are trying to make it out of the 1/8 birch panel board, good luck. That stuffs too thick. It just won't bend enough where it needs to bend. By far the easiest is to get the reproduction ones from Wolfsburg, start feeding them from the back into the tracks and push them in. If you are trying to put them in from the bottom, which is what you have to do in a single cab, then good luck. It's a lot of work and you are probably going to tear up one or two before you get them in.
