The easiest thing to make the inner panels with is a good PLYWOOD type paneling. Not the fiberboard stuff, the real wood. make a pattern with cardboard and transfer it to the paneling. When you are ready to cover it, use a thin foam padding and 3M's "Super 33+" spray-on contact cement. They should last about as long as the doors. When I finally got around to covering mine, I didn't use any padding, and there are a few "loose" spots that the padding would've corrected.

all you guys have some nice half doors on here. being on my 4th set of them i just gave up taking my time and making them nice, i mean i usually dent/scrape them within one weekend of running them. i also just leave my inner door panel bare, it makes for a good beer i mean aluminum can garbage spot and the other door holds my strap and some othe nic nacs

[Steve_925]

oh and i guess i should mension that not taking my time resulted in the entire outside weld breaking, wich i still need to fix

[THK Matt]

Will a 89-94 Toyota pickup doors fit a 98 Tacoma?  I know the body lines would be for sure different.  But would they bolt up and latch?

I don't know if they will bolt up or not.  I would imagine someone has tried it.  

They look closer to the same size and shape than I expected.  Maybe take some measurements of each, or ask someone at your local yota scrapper?

What's the advantage to going about it that way?
