yeah should take your time and i only double layered the panels which i thought would vibrate more. I used a heat gun to help it stick more and curve nicely on the round spots. The smell doesnt stay for long though so dont worry about it too much, I had mine air out for a weekend but only because I have a second car to use daily, but even if you put your carpet in it should go away in a few days.
. then drill a hole through fire wall mount street wires 1/0awg grommet run 1/0awg knu klm to back . work on drawing up my door panels how im gonna make em.
No man It was just a class project. It wasnt a real door panel. We just learned the concept of designing patterns and wrapping vynil. I dont have any experience in molding abs plastic, I just the idea of how to do it. I was never taught how to put the rubber things on the top, or mounting the switches and all that ****. The teacher told us that door panels are a ***** to make, and can take up to months to do it if you are not experienced, and we only had 1 month to learn how to do that and sewing and covering seats. But what you can do is modify your old door panel cut out some more where the mounting ring is, make a grill with grill cloth. Wrap different parts of your door in vynil, or if thats not good, you can sand it down and paint it. Thats what I would do, I wouldnt try to do custom panels untill you had a couple years of experience in interiors. That **** is really tedious and takes ALOT of practice. Im still not able to sew **** right and make a perfect seat, but I plan on getting an industrial sewing machine and doing alot of practice as there is ALOT of money in the interiors industry.
good Idea, use the old door panel if anything. Only the best can do something like that out of scratch. But a decent industrial size sewing machine can cost 3 or 4 grand. Those things can sew through 1/4" mdf. Those things are pissed off machines.
