After an unplanned hiatus from my door panel project I am ready to resume.
Currently I am working on producing the 77-81-ish panels with the vertical metal bars.
Here is a template I made showing the various parts of the panel with a mockup of one I might make for my jeep which is painted Pacific Blue.
What I would ask of you is to spec out a panel based upon your color and material preferences. This will assist me in finding the most common preferences among the FSJ crowd.
Wagoneer and J-Truck designs would be similar.
Below are the options:
A) Main panel surround: Material and color.
B) Main panel perimeter detail line: Color and seam type.
C) Main panel insert: Material and color.
D) Main panel 'Gills': Color.
E) Mid-panel divider bars: Original metal bars (You provide) or single or double vinyl piping, french seamed, blind seam, Hydem seam and color.
F Mid-panel insert: Material, color and vertical or horizontal accent strips.
G Front panel: Material and color.
All features can be deleted upon request such as speaker and detail objects.
Here are examples of what some of the seam options are.
Blind seam: Stitched on the back side of the material which produces a very clean seam.
French Seam/Saddle Stitch: Material is folded back under itself and sewn from the top.
Hydem Seam: A double piping based seam that is applied over a rough edge or seam to cover it. A nice decorative alternative to complex seam designs.
Single Welt Seam: Very common seam style in automotive upholstery. It's the white stripe in the image below.
Double Welt Seam: Two welts joined together.
Custom designs of your choice would also be available.
Please take the time to reply here in this thread with your choices and I will provide a design image in return.
Thank you in advance!
