As mentioned earlier I had a few panels which were beyond repair which meant fabricating new ones. I was unable to find 1/8 inch mahogany plywood so what I did was to veneer my own panels. I would recommend using pre-veneered sheets if they are available. A majority of the Spartan trailercoaches were outfitted in birch plywood which is easier to find in this thickness. |

I used
the old panel as a template to cut the new one. This was done before I
veneered the piece to prevent the veneer from chipping.

The
old panel becomes the router template to cut the new one to the exact
same size. I used a bit with a bearing guide.

This photo shows the plunge routed vent hole. I was able to save the old ceiling panel and use parts of it to replace other damaged sections. |
