Lol, but you get the idea....
Yes I like original. Especially inside I love old classic original interior the look the feel the smell. I just cant afford to buy those aftermarket panels. So if I can make some that look close that will be good enough. I dont mind some subtle differences or improvements. Like real wood grain vs faux wood. But I want it to appear stock.All this Custom Fabrication and bone stock is what you're going for?
I am considering doing a black interior instead of the original white. I love white interior but I think with my color choice black will look better. And it will be easier to keep clean.

Yea 200 for a piece of plastic is stupid lol I make plastic for a living can get all kinds of plastic.
I wonder if a cheap piece of wall paneling would work for the backer?
An Idea I had after spending the time and money$$$ getting a reproduction piece to fit in my car, was to just do my own next time with a material I found at the Home Depot, you should check this out. Material is 4x8 FRP board in a thickness that I think would work with a similar texture to your original, so you may not need to spend the additional cost of glue, and cloth to recover. You can go with the natural white board color, or can also spray it a color of your choice, I think a black trim semigloss would work. But either way painted or covered with material, it may be an option.
