thanks for the compliments , yes i started them last night . worked on them for about 3 hours or more . As I started them im thinking of painting them , just havent completly decided yet . If I do go paint on them the big flat spot will get pin stripped . The top piece of the panel that isnt attached in the pictures is getting covered in suede . Along with the top of the dash . I will start posting pictures of the dash as soon as i get finished with the panels

They look good, but one word of advice from someone who's been through fiberglass door panel hell before:
See all those light spots in the resin? Those are areas where you didn't get full saturation or there was air in there that caused the resin not to soak all the way through and that could transfer into weak spots which you'll find once you start sanding. It doesn't look like it would be much of a problem with that design, but just for future operations, try to get everything fully saturated, sometimes it can be a bit of a pain because of air bubbles under the cloth. But where there's air, there's going to be a weak spot.
But have fun sanding!!!!!! The interior of my car is glassed out, and I swore I would never do it again when it was finished, but now I'm already getting ready to start on my HB's door panels. It's not so bad if you're going to cover them, but getting them perfect for paint really sucked ass...

i stripped the vinyl off the panel and i have glued the pod to the bare board and streched fleece over it . the origanal body panel clips are still attached so it just pops right back on in the stock mounting holes

UPDATE!!!! Decided to take a break on the panels and work on the kids Radio Flyer project and left the panels in the middle of the garage which is never parked in except by me and the Wife had the bright idea to park in there while I was out of town yesterday . She failed to turn the light on before she pulled in and ran 1 of the panels over . So now I get to tear them apart and start over . Will post pictures later
