recovering plastic panels with vinyl

[skierkaj]

I'm not going to pay $150 a panel, and all the junkyards around my area don't have any cars that old, they crushed em already! I've made up my mind, and they're getting vinyl.

Make sure you pull everything tight! It will almost look original if you take your time. Sam

Skerkij...do you know a guy named Phil Chicarillo ?

[skierkaj]

The name doesn't ring a bell, maybe if I had some more info. . . .

If you really mean (only the best for my baby) forget the vinyl !!!Keep your eyes open as you get around and ask people you know if they have any idea where you can pick up those parts.The vinyl will never bend and fold nice on the ends and it will look way out of place when put next to the other plastic.Used plastic for those cars should be .05 and a .10 just my .02 worth!!

I've already seen this done to numerous cars, and if you do it correctly with a heat gun, you can get it to bend in any direction you want. I've already made up my mind, and I don't think you can change it. Regardless of what most people say, I'm probably not going to find any panels for my car that are in good condition for a cheap price. It's really pathetic how companies can charge so much for the parts, just because they carry the GM logo. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]
