I was originally gonna wait to start on them since I dont have everything I need but I got anxious. Too bad I waited till almost 8 to start, could have finished. Ran out of glue too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif So one of the panels couldnt get resined till I can finish gluin the fleece. (Still gotta get some 40/40 and kitty hair. My birthday is in 3 weeks to soo maybe I can get the relatives to pitch in for a shit ton of vinyl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif)

Thats where Im at right now. Got another project to work on tomorrow, so maybe after that if Im lucky I can finish resining these all up, maybe do some re-enforcing from the back with some mat too.

Any and all comments welcome. Will do 40/40 on the edges, then kitty hair along the bottom, then some bondo.

Probably just gonna wrap the entire panels with vinyl, I might do some suede on the top cloth piece too.

Naa, they are both 6.5 mids. But that does leave the door open to go 4-way down the road if I want to //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The good part is so far the door panels havent cost me a penny. All the materials thus far I have had layin around. But....to finish them I gotta spend some //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif:greedy://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

Headin out to get some super glue and Im gonna resin the other one up and see how the one I did last night turned out.

Man I just keep running out of supplies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif...too bad Im broke now after buying all the stuff I did //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Ran out of glue again, so the corner of the passenger side panel had the fabric pull back a little, but Ill be able to fix it no problem.

Ran out of hardener too so I was only able to do a little resin on that panel.

Gonna have to wait till this coming weekend to buy some more materials and finish them up.

Got a couple pics though.

Lots more work left on them but not a bad start.

Are you planning on doing anything additional to secure your door panel to the sheet metal in the door? I ask because my driver's side door in my 1996 Thunderbird was real loose and sloppy when I traded it in around December 1999. Your (ETA unmodified) Cougar panels look real similar to the panels that I had in my 1996 Thunderbird.
