Jim,
I agree with what the others have told you about using 1/8" masonite, etc. 
I made one additional step by going to a sewing/fabric shop and purchased a 
roll of sheet foam. I think it was 3/8" thick, 30 inches wide (or so) and 
it came from a roll so you purchased whatever length you want. I put the 
foam between the masonite and my vinyl covering. The 3/8 thickness may 
sound too thick, but it compresses as you cover the panels. The panels 
turned out real nice with the little extra padding in them.
