look at the thread 'handbrake sharp edges' about 20 subjects below this.
Depends on how light weight a car you are going for. Mines beign fully trimmed, even at the sides. I used 6mm mdf panels, padded with felt, then
overwapped with vinyl. All held on with staples and a 5 quid gun from b and q.
Also do a search under marks name for hippy roll. it will say how he used padding.
Mark and I got our vynyl from
www.fabricuk.com
its the 12.99 FR stuff.

I know it's hardly race car spec but MDF is useful. It's handy as it is easy to cut and can be sanded to almost any shape. It can be
threaded or will take cut down rivnut (a dap of two part resin glue for a really good fixing) which means with a bit of thought you can fix without
screws etc showing.
