Pretty obvious that it's for a Mopar and it's made of "Hardboard" (like pegboard material but not as thick)

I always call it fiber board, but as a12 said that's the correct name for it. You can get different densities, some easier to bend than others.

Also, pretty close to the backing board that is on those 3 ring binders.

Hey George

It's called "chipboard" It's an .080" thick tan paper product. The original material used by Mopar 50+ years ago was a tan core with a layer of tan paper on top and bottom. The product now is solid tan.

I make those "sail panel boards". What year / model is that from?

Do you make the correct ones for a 71/72 B body? They didn't have headliner material on them like what is on the market now.
