One of the interior door panels on my 75 TR6 has some water damage to the 
fiberboard backing and it needs to be replaced. Instead of using fiberboard 
again, I was thinking of using a piece of 1/4" oak veneer plywood that I have 
left 
over from a cabinet making project. The two are roughly the same nominal 
thickness but the plywood is much sturdier and probably alot more moisture 
resistant. Any thoughts on this? Also, the foam backing seems to be glued to 
the 
fiberboard in areas where there is piping on the face of the panel. Any ideas 
on 
how to separate the two without trashing the foam backing?
Thanks again for your collective wisdom. It's always appreciated.

sight now!!)
