There is (was) a dude selling them in ABS. I bought the headliner and kick panel covers, may end up getting the door panels too. The headliner was cut out of ~1/8" flat stock, so it had to be heated and formed to fit, but it's in and the front tabs more or less lined up. -

If you are using a backer board that will absorb a liquid, coat them with Minwax "wood hardener" before covering them with vinyl or what ever. It will waterproof them and make them resistant to warping.
There is a member "Tatsayago" ?? over at the other site that is making embossed vinyl door panels. I am not sure if mentioning the "other site" is a no no. I am sure I will find out. But you might check there. He has perfected the process nicely.
I will be attempting to make the earlier models in about a year when I catch up on my build.Melford1972 says...
