[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8801727, member: 656095"] I have a few more pics to share detailing the build on the rear door panels. One thing I had forgotten is how many layers it takes to build a surface up. It's all good though since you can see small changes over time. Some of the photos I needed to reverse 180 degrees so they looked as they are facing me. It's hard as hell to take photos when it is so bright out. So I apologize if the orientation looks bizzare.That being said; let's get after it. This first shot was taken right after I pulled the pods off the door cards and after the drivers side had been sanded. The second shot is the reverse. You can see that at this point the rear had not been reinforced yet. Incidentally; I had to use my glue gun again as some of the smaller pieces didn't have enough glue and were a bit loose.

A quick note that after sanding I vacuumed the dust then hit them with a little isopropyl to prep them for the next coat. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220730_143722.jpg"]40840[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20220730_153018.jpg"]40841[/ATTACH] These are of the second coat having been sanded both front and back. You can see from my sharpie marks that there are a couple things that I need to address. The symmetry of both pieces is getting pretty close. We're not at the, "pat's self on back stage" but close.
