Ok, so I've got a lead on the silver beige vinyl and cloth for my interior panels, but where can I get the panels themselves, ie the hardboard pieces that would be covered with said material?

Make sure the board isn't too thick for the clamps to fit.

Is there a source for templates or the naked already-cut boards? I have nothing but a dream at this point.

There's no source for the bare interior panel boards, I wish! This is something you have to do yourself. Remove the vinyl from an original, make a paper template, then cut your own boards.
Just another "unique feature" of owning/restoring a T34 ... and why it takes so much time & perserverance to get one done right.

Bummer. I've been sniffing around, but nothing. Neither of my cars have a lick of interior.

I'm sure there's someone in your area (Northern California, right?) that has a door panel & quarter panel that you can borrow to create a template set. Try Larry Edson (64), Eric Colla (62), & Bob Nelson (63). Another option is to call Alex @ ISP West to see if he has any original T34 panels to buy. I bought one from him a couple years ago.

I have the original door cars from Jill's 1967 T34. I used them as templates for cutting new cards from 1/8" tempered hardboard. I haven't done the rear 1/4 panels just yet, but will be doing them this fall. I could make a full-size paper template from them if it would help.
