Ok since my door panels where abused from the previous owner (DAMN HIM/HER) I decided (as I mentioned in a few posts) I am going to mold my own... basically this is how it will be done...
First remove everything off the panel itself, the door handle, the map pocket/speaker area... Than tape the whole door panel up, spray foam the ()@*&@ out of it. Wait till it drys... than lay the fiberglass... once its dry smooth it out (bondo, etc). Once thats done, paint it gloss black... what do u guys think? |

As for the whole panel (minus the bottom speaker pod) the procedure will go like this;
1. Remove panel. 2. Strip all Vinyl from panel 3. Drill holes into panel (so fiberglass stays secure) 4. Plastic the inside of the door, place panel back on. 5. Run two layers of fiberglass on door panel (you do this ON THE DOOR to prevent warping) 6. Once dried remove panel 7. Form custom door panel using mdf, and spray foam (let spray foam dry than carve out design) 8. Fiberglass door (3 layers of mat) 9. Sand, Bondo/Glaze imperfections 10. Sand smooth, paint. I will have picture progress and write up/how-to on it once i start it. |
