Those panels look very nice Dirk. I can believe it's vinyl. Last time I worked with vinyl was late 80's and there were only limited colours like black and blue and grey etc.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Good going Dirk.
Did you use any special glue to stick the vinyl to the new boards you made?

Nope. No glue. Just tension and staples.

Trust me, when I finally get time to do this update, you'll have so much to enjoy you'd forget about the time it took to get it.
