use painters tap, it will keep the resin off the door, and alow you to pull the pod off the door once the resin has cured. also u need to make a resin back plate B4 u put the ring and suports on. thats what the suports screw too. so your first step is lay down 2-3 layers of painters tap. lay down some fiberglass matt on the door pannle and resin that. once the flat resisn/fiberglass matt has dried, screw your little wood ring and suports to the flat pannle and pull flees over the ring and over the flat fiberglass pannle, so the fleese is between the pannle and the door

Make a mold of where you taped, with resin and glass mat.

Take the mold off, trim it. Hot glue the ring baffle and DOWEL RODS to the mold. Stretch fleece over, hot glue in place. Resin, glass mat... a few layers.

Sand, sand, sand, body filler, sand, body filler, sand, body filler, sand. How do you want to finish them, carpet, vinyl, paint?

Attatch it to the door panel with a lot of silicone, make sure it is tight fit and pressure held in place while it cures.

kthnx.

I recommend some GE Silicone I or II...

Remember this is after the pod is completely finished... to attach it to the panel itself. Also, it need to be secure/tight while it cures for 24hours.

This is where you want to be if you want to do fiberglass work.
