Stu,
I used a better material then plywood: LeBaron Bonney (the welknown
FORD Restoration Interior place) in Amesbury, MA sells a black
backboard. It is impregnated and rot resistant. Specifically used for
interior panels, approx. 1/8" thick.
To dress things up on one car I used batting material (different
thicknesses available in most fabric stores) as used in quilting by the
ladies and black vinyl(available also at LeBB). The vinyl I stretched
around the board, glued with contact cement. It really looks nice and
dressy.
On my Tiger however I used the plastic repro panels from Tiger Tom.
Robert.
