I show in this video an artisan way to customize an old 'VW Beetle original heat engraved door panel'.
I have used a soft pressed cardboard 1.3 mm thick as padding. The material on top is a synthetic vinyl material 0.5 mm thick.
This sample is just a 'smaller replica' that looks similar to a real one. The 'channels' were cut 6 mm wide. The final outcome for the channels would be of 5 mm considering the vinyl thickness.
For better results I would recommend to 'laser cut' the cardboard pieces.Fortunately, these machines could be found everywhere.
I also show how to replicate the original pleated VW bag.
I hope the enthusiasts enjoy the video and find some inspiration from this wonderful art craft!

Hello CECHAFLO good day, greetings and congratulations, as always GREAT video on this door panel, thank you for your video, once again fraternal greetings, your friend Oscar.
Wow !! I think Cechaflo is from another planet.
Thank you far taking the time to share your art, truly inspirational!
Спасибо Маэстро! Ваши уроки это клад! Старая школа лучшая!
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing them. Watching your videos has given me the confidence to try a few things. You are very talented!
Man, the way you did that corner was awesome. You definitely learn something new everyday with your videos. 👍👏❤
1. .. Excellent craftsmanship! .. Artistry in the making. .. Signed, a fellow '79 Super Beetle Cabriolet owner.
You make it look like anyone could do this. A true craftsman and a testament to the skill in telling your story through video!
Great as always! Thank you so much for the video!👍👍👍👏👏👏
i just knew I would learn something. I wondered if he was going to a french seam on the door panel, but I like the recesses done with precision. The double cuts in the inside corner, and that other corner...you did the other corner, pinch, pliers, trim it. Sewing, well, watch the magic happen before your eyes with Chechaflo !
Beautiful and amazing craft!
I learned a lot of tips from this site I recommend to all who have this passion
Hello sorry I am French, thank you for making us discover this art! it's really beautiful, I try to learn for myself courage and thank you for the video: P
Шикарно! У Мастера руки из правильного места растут. Всё очень доходчиво.
Beautiful work. I wish I had known this technique when I did my doors, I had to leave the pockets off.
Thank you very much. This is the exact video i was looking for
Another beautiful piece of work. VW door cards really need to stay very thin, so it's hard to do anything too amazing with them. This is an elegant, and functional design.
Thanks for showing the procedure you used to customize the door panel. Using your method, I did a similar custom job to the rear hatch on a Kei Van that I imported from Japan.
I am so glad these videos are useful!
Thanks so much for watching the videos!
Beautiful! I hope you have children to pass this on. Bravo!
I really appreciate your kind remarks!
Se ve facil y sencillo.. Pero se requiere paciencia y dedicacion.. Eres grande... Maestro 👍👍👍

Yes I all ways like your vids and 99.9% of the time I learn something which can be something small or big. That's even if I don't think I will but I like to learn now not back when I should have HA HA.. If only I could have that do over anyway thanks Sir.
Thank you very much for watching these videos!
You are welcome anytime!
Un gran anhelo mío, es poder tener la oportunidad de compartir con usted don César y aprender más de este maravilloso arte, aún soy un novato, pero me gustaría poder llegar a viajar y trabajar con ustedes, bendiciones y muchas gracias
¡Muchas gracias por su amable comentario!
¡Siempre bienvenido a este canal!
Very nice!
Thanks so much for appreciating this art craft!
Nailed it
Thanks for share...!
Parabéns, me ajudou a entender o processo! Temos pouquíssimo material sobre o assunto no Brasil! Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos!
Dear Fabio, Thanks for watching! Shoemakers use these cardboards for insole. Try to find a similar in Brazil. This other video also shows a similar technique: ruclips.net/video/jZT6ViLV3_4/видео.html
If the 'door panel cardboard base is broken' try to use a special cardboard resistant to heat and humidity. Something like Greg used (original material) for his car door panels:ruclips.net/video/sYXnNzB4pxw/видео.html
Top. Mestre🙌
Ficou lindo,👏
Thanks for kind remarks!
At the age of 37 now I just bought a second hand sweing machine Seiko sth-8bld for doing my hobby sewing my car- boat upholstery. My job is car mechanic from the age of 12 (second generation my father also). I prefer to sewing something from going out to a club late at night because I love your work. You are my teacher many thanks for all that i 've seen on youtube, words like excellent technician for you is small. I am very sad about what happened on youtube and I can feel you how angry feel. Please find a way to share all your knowledge.
Exelente trabajo
¡Muchas gracias por apreciar estas artesanías!
Very nice again :)
Thanks for appreciating this job!
Sir, you do exultant work. Watching you is like watching myself. We both strive for perfection. Like myself you would not have it any other way. Beauty comes in many forms like the curves of the female body. Your work is like that. Very refined . There is one request I would ask from you. That is, 'would you please narrate your video' with speech? I think your video's would be much better if you were narrating them. Keep'em coming mate . Thank you for your time showing the world your knowledge.
I really appreciate your kind comment! Thanks for the suggestion as well.
You are welcome to this channel anytime!
That's just perfect... but just wish I could find glue as good as yours here in England .
Maestro, exelente trabajo!
Tengo un vw fastback del 68 y estuve tratando de hacerle el techo que es igual que el del vocho casi, pero que va!, si tiene algun tutorial o algun dato que me pueda ayudar...
De antemano muchas gracias
que gran trabajo maestro estaria agradecido de que compartiera las medidas que utilize para hacer los cortes y las tapas y el material de verdad quede facinado con su trabajo
Hi. Love your videos as always. Would love more details on the pocket please. What are the sew in hooks called please as i can't find them in the uk.
Great work Iam very suprise
Thanks for watching the video!
Good 👍👍👍👍
better than the VW factory!
Hello Greg, I really appreciate your kind comment!
I am aware you are a passionate man for VW cars!
dobra robota.
Unreal
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely stunning! Wow!! I am speechless.
I'm about to redue my panels, two questions:
What type of glue do you use?
What is your panel backing made out of and how thick?
Thank you for your time.

Hello Jeffrey, I have used a 'yellow brushable glue':ruclips.net/video/o2xeezdF8Ss/видео.html You would need to find a similar. It could be weldwood contact cement, petronio's glue, etc.
I used a thick cardboard board (shoemakers' material) for this sample. I cannot recommend because it could warp because of heat or humidity. You would need to get the special cardboard for your door panels.
I am sending you some useful links to get a much better panel backing:

fantastic! would you trim & glue the corners the same way if using fabric instead of vinyl?
Yes, procedures are similar.
This is fantastic. Thank you. Do you have a video showing more detail on the pocket? I'm guessing I'll need very soft vinyl and very strong elastic??
Hopefully you can get a strong elastic strip. Those tire bladders are also useful if you cut it off in strips.
@@Cechaflo good idea. Thank you
The boss
ماشاء الله ولا غلطه 👍
God is the creator!
Cechaflo, how do you ensure the facing leatherette stays in all the grooves, long term? It did not look like contact cement was used. It appeared to be a low tack adhesive since you could reposition the facing material when setting it on the substrate.
Interesting questions! If you watch carefully the video you would realize I have used some 'tips' to make the 'channel shapes' last long. 1. The 'stretchy side of vinyl' is in vertical direction of horizontal channels...that way, it easier enter into the grooves...in other words it should not be forced. 2. The vinyl was just placed in a soft way over the panel to let it slide into the grooves. 3. The stitcking process has also much to do. I first liberally applied a coat of glue over the 'cardboard channels' (just the channels) as a primer. I did the same with vinyl material. After letting them dry I applied a thorough coat of glue.
Buena tecnica
¡Muchas gracias por apreciar este trabajo!
Hello, could you please recommend a type of glue for working with synthetic material. What glue do you use in this video?
Your work is very beautifull. Thank you for showing this method, I need to redo the panels on my VW Bus it helps me.
For this project I used the traditional brushable upholstery yellow glue:ruclips.net/video/o2xeezdF8Ss/видео.html
Amigo, excelente trabajo.. pregunta.. el material de la tapa a forrar es madera ? O cartón comprimido y cuál es mejor? Saludos
Ese material es un cartón duro que usan los zapateros para planta de zapatos. Es fuerte, pero no resiste la humedad y llega a torcerse. Lo mejor puede ser el plástico ABS o cartón MDF
Greg nos muestra el cartón para los paneles de puertas:ruclips.net/video/sYXnNzB4pxw/видео.html
John nos muestra el plástico ABS para panel de puerta: ruclips.net/video/puEYF3xJ3DE/видео.html
Great tutorial. Does anyone know what material is being cut out? Many thanks
Hello mark, it is a kind of cardboard shoemakers use it for shoe's insoles. The thickness is 2.2 mm
Same material was used on this video:ruclips.net/video/jZT6ViLV3_4/видео.html
Welcome to this channel anytime!
Cesar buen dia
el material gris que usas de base como se llama o donde lo consigues... la base cafe creo que es planta tipo celtec pero el gris no se como se llama.... por cierto todo un placer ver tu trabajo, siempre muy bien terminado y cuidado en los detalles.... todos mis respetos!!!! saludos desde leon gto
El material gris es un simple 'cartón suave prensado' de 1.3 mm de espesor, que se usa en artes gráficas. Se puede conseguir en tiendas que venden artículos, tales como cartulinas, papel de oficina, plumas, etc. En Office Depot, Lumen, etc. A manera de base utilizé cartón mas duro de 3mm de grosor. Este cartón grueso lo usan los zapateros.
¡Reciba Ud. también un cordial saludo!
Hello your video is very helpful iam about 2 build my second pair of door panels last time I used foam this time iam going to use paperboard so my question is how to keep from seeing the door clips under the vinyl after installing the door clips? Any advice is appreciated
The sample of the video has two layers of cardboard. The first is the base and should be the original thickness. The cut layers on top are distributed and glued down to the cardboard base.
In fact the clips will be fastened to the cardboard base holes. To avoid any protrusion on top view the thinner cardboard on top should have a recess on its reverse just enough to house the fastening part of the door clip.
If we would upholster a plain design on a VW door panel cardboard, then the clips would go hidden beneath the foam. We should leave a small gap with no glue to let the clip be fastened to the cardboard easily.
Hope it helps.
@@Cechaflo I did a couple of samples today and that's one of the ways I did it thank you so much for responding and the knowledge
@@michaelwools9538 That is great, Michael ! I would recommend you a wet-proof cardboard. Other cardboards warp with humidity.
Greg shows in his video the right cardboard:ruclips.net/video/sYXnNzB4pxw/видео.html
ABS material is also advisable. John shows and explains in his video about this material for door panels:
ruclips.net/video/puEYF3xJ3DE/видео.html
Best wishes,
Cesar
Great job! Do you buy your Vinyl material online or local shop?
I purchase it from local upholstery suppliers. If you are in USA, please, check:www.albrightssupply.com/Default.asp
Increíble! un placer ver todo el proceso!
Alguna idea de como se hacían originalmente los relieves con calor? o cómo se podrían replicar con calor DIY?
Mi VW es de los 60s y las tapas que llevaban tienen sólo lineas horizontales paralelas, que supongo es un poco más fácil de replicar.

@@Cechaflo Gracias! Justo lo que buscaba. Esa maquina como la tuya tiene algún nombre especial? Se puede conseguir una así o es creación tuya? No encuentro mucho en internet
Saludos!!
@@cristobalnunez218 La hize utilizando una prensita de parchar/vulcanizar llantas de auto.
Waterproof door card stock? Was it just an extra layer of same card stock for your raised embossed areas?
ojala puedas hacer algun panel de puerta que incluya moldura cromada...
Si, muy buena idea. Muchas gracias por la sugerencia.
Igual vc não existem dois
great work . what foam and # grade of foam you are using in this? . Thank you in advance
I did not use any foam on this project. I used a thin 3 mm thick soft and flexible cardboard instead. Shoemakers use this cardboard for insoles.
ruclips.net/video/IF5qL9vAzhQ/видео.htmlsi=bRS5m-kabn-TC2Bz&t=18
I used the same cardboard on this other door panels:
ruclips.net/video/jZT6ViLV3_4/видео.htmlsi=KDU3YVEHTaoQ3Z4i&t=161
Eva high density foam (latex foam) could also be used for door panels:

thank you so much. and thank you for showing us how to do this@@Cechaflo
Been trying to cut the cards on my own, but got the holes wrong. I couldn't find a blueprint of the panels everywhere.
damn your good...
I really appreciate it!
Добрый день. А что за материал Вы приклеили к фанере.
I used a synthetic material used in the shoemaking industry.
👍.зор.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hoolla
👍❤
Of course, you get 2 thumbs up!
I really apreciate it!
what is the recommended material to make door panels?
A waterproof material (plastic or cardboard) that endures humidity.

ruclips.net/video/sYXnNzB4pxw/видео.html
Thanks you 🙏
what about Retainer, Door Trim?
This panel is a smaller sample than normal VW panels. I did this video only to demonstrate a way to replicate a real VW panel. No problem with the retainers/trim fastener. They could be fastened as it is done on a real panel.
El material que usa en cartón o espuma
Para esta muestra usé cartón para plantilla de zapato. Es lo mismo que usé en este video:ruclips.net/video/jZT6ViLV3_4/видео.html
Para cartón base en caso de reemplazar el ya existente hay que usar un cartón especial resistente a la humedad y calor. De otro modo se llega a torcer. Buscar un material parecido al original como el que que usa Greg en su video:ruclips.net/video/sYXnNzB4pxw/видео.html
Can you provide a supplier for the soft pressed cardboard padding?
I got the paper board from a local supplier here in Mexico.
You could get it on internet.

Thank you. I only see small pieces. Do you get it door size sheets?
@@randyprince9913 The sheets I have bought are slightly large. 1 meter wide by 140 meter long.
It is mostly used in the shoemaking industry and I have realized they imported this board from China.
Thanks. I'll keep looking.
