Fabric Doors

[Forrest747]

Well I am still on crutches and the weathers isnt playing so I can take up the whole garage with the project so I am in thinking mode.

When i dry fitted the wood doors before the accident, they were not plumb with the sides. there was almost a 1/2 gap.

been thinking of many fixes including using a wood jamb of some sort, not sure i am making sense, not enough twinkies today.

Another idea and going with the Jeep theme I have going on is to have the doors be fabric and zippered. I am now heavily leaning toward having my rear hatch being fabric. I plan on going to a awning store here locally that also makes custom boat covers. get thier opinion on it.

What do you think?

Sounds pretty creative.

It will certainly excite our members who look to go ultra-light!

I purchased some windows from a guy who was parting out and refurbing old slide in campers. he shows me how he was using the ridgid insulation the thick pink and blue stuff you can buy a lowes. He cuts to size of door needed; then laminates a sheet of aluminum on top. It was really strong.
It didn't flex, stronger than the cargo door I installed.
You probly could laminate frp to it and light weight as well
I might give it a try next time around

How exactly would one laminate aluminum like that?

mastic or adhesive spray
