I'm looking for a supplier of door panels without vinyl or fabric. Just the bare particle board panels so I can use my own vinyl.

Could someone recommend a supplier?

I have a 1957 Bug.

You would be better off making your own with marine plywood.

I would make my own if I had the time and a place to do it.

I don't, so I'm searching for pre-made ones.

You would be surprised what little space and time it would take. A box cutter and a forstner bit for clean cut holes are all the tools you need, plus a piece of sand paper.

Else buy the cheapest panels you can find and strip the vinyl off. You won't be able to find cheaper plain panels than that.

Call WCC or Sewfine. They may sell you a set.

Buying an inexpensive set without map pockets and removing the vinyl might be the best option.

There was a guy in Australia making REALLY nice bare panels for Ovals. But they weren't cheap, neither would the shipping. So I guess that's not going to work for you. Disregard my help Very Happy
