Well I don't have money to takle those quarter pans so I fugured I play around this weekend with the door panels....the old ones were junk, torn and dry rotted.....so I used the old stuff to make patterns.....I got some back board from home depot ....16 bucks.....got some black vinal from the fabric store....40 bucks.....glue....10 bucks....batting.....10 bucks.......I rivited to back board to the upper door plate to make a whole new panel....cake ....I then used 3M spray glue to lay the batting down.....then layed the vinal over that...trimmed so there was about 1 and a half inches to fold over the back side......put the window felt back on......installed it then put the door handles and cranks back on.....3M taped the fury red white and blue logo back on (had it laying around) and it looks pretty darns good for my fist shot.....sadly I can't share the photos just yet due to computer issues but I had to share my minor victory with someone who would care......
