VW_MAN_73 Wed Feb 14, 2007 2:20 pm

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has a template for interior panels that they would like to part with. I have a walkthru. I can pay for template and shipping. My interior is gutted. Thanks for your help. Craig.

I have templates for the door panels, roof panels and front kicks for a 67 kombi.

hey woody! I have a 61 standard but you have the heater vents on your kicks but I guess i could fill that in. Let me see what other people have and I'll see if I could use your. Thanks for the response. :wink:

it seems like people are always looking for interior panel templates.. and reasonably so. It just seems so common that people are looking for them, that there would be a file you could download. A full size drawing in a pdf or what have you would print out on normal paper and then you'd just tape them together. Just seems like someone would have already done this?

This is what i need!

A CAD file would be the best thing ever right now.
At my school i can just import the cad file and the big saw will cut it out perfectly. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

My cousin might make a cad file but i don't know how hard it is or how to do it so its on him.

that would be great but I don't have a big printer to print it out. Autocad seems awesome though.

I have a large format printer which can handle up to 24" height and unlimited length. If anyone wants to email me exact dimension diagrams, I'll print a set for you for free in exchange. They gotta be accurate, though.
I can tape up sections for anything exceeding the 24" limit. But you'd only have one seam, since nothing is over 48" in the shorter dimension, I believe.
PM me if anyone is interested.

yeah, I would be greatly appreciate you making templates. Let me know how much they are for a complete set for a 61 walkthru. Thanks. Craig.

I like the idea of having this on some kind of cad file. As I too could get my local wood merchant to get thier machine to cut them out. some one do it I would be prepared to make a small donation :D

Anyone have a set of Major Woody's templates they would sell or loan out? I would be forever grateful. My bus is deserving of all efforts to get every aspect of its refresh correct. Please PM me if you can help!

It should be a file that can be "tiled" and printed on any 8x11 paper.

Is that a suggestion or is there a file that is made and being sold/traded

Instead of bringing this back, why don't you just pm him? He signed on yesterday.

I had that thought but out of respect since I read in earlier post he stopped making the templates I thought I would ask the forum first in hopes someone had a set they wouldn't mind loaning or selling.

Tiled templates would be awesome!
I need to do some door panels for my '66.

mandraks Wed May 06, 2015 7:41 am

it seems that the people that sell them would have templates, like Clara for example. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=942798

^^while that is true, it also seems like they would be undercutting their own business. I'm sure it took lots of time searching, tracing, and adjusting to compile a complete set of templates for various years/models. I considered doing this too, but given all of the variables opted not to. That said, I do have some original panels from my '67 tintop westy, including the entire ceiling...but it's only good for a template, and certainly couldn't be shipped.
