Nice door trims Gaz...
I was thinking of re-doing my door trim backing boards (the ones I have now have ply but the drivers side front was water affected in storage

and the bottom is almost non existent) I'll still keep the the vinyl as these are the ones my lovely departed wife Helen made my wagon and I just won't get rid of them EVER.
What I wanted to know was what is the thickness & what sort of board did you use??

It's 3mm MDF and I found it very good to work with, I used 3mm Masonite (which is the original material used) as the backing for the Black Beast and that work well too but I prefer the MDF and it is only $4 a sheet

Here my trim idea............ EK Special side trim, EK front guard trims cut short and reversed (left to right), FB Special badges with FB stars, FB Special front door top trim shortened and mounted on back door above EK trim, FB Special top guard trim (thanks to Blacky

) shortened and mounted on rear quarter above EK trim.
