ABS rear panel pics
Here are some pics of the ABS rear panel I made 1/8" ABS panel used a heat gun to get it formed to the corners, I even used the original rubber to hold it in in additional to some trim screws.

Hi Larry,
I got the ABS from Piedmont Plastics, on Foster Brothers Drive, about 1 mil past 321 & Fish Hatchery Rd going towards Swansea. I had an original cardboard that I used to trace on the ABS sheet, once I had it under the window gasket I pushed in the corners while heating it with a heat gun, I could feel the ABS forming. Then I put screws in the corners and heated it again, one in place I marked and trimmed the edges to fit in the seal. I also bolted 6 2" "L" shaped brackets on the cab floor brace to bolt the bottom of the ABS to, two trim screws in each coener and one in the center. I plan on being at Fat Boys this weekend if all goes well, maybe I'll see you if you are there. I have a fiber board headliner from DC I just don't want to mess it up by putting it in myself, I can't find a local shop who will try it.
