    Got my seats back from the upholstery shop and my copilot approves!! Also finished making door panels. Dropped those off when I was picking up the seats.

    Making some great progress man! Good thing you saw the potential in those seats.

    Seeing the door panel reminds me of mine, I hate that the previous owner cut the doors for speakers. :rolleyes2:

    Thanks, trying to stay busy during this quarantine!
    Yes, those speaker holes are hideous. I plan on patching them up once I get the door panels back.

    Haven't done much for the last couple of weeks. Got the door panels back from the upholstery place. Not as clean as the seats but that's okay! Started patching the speaker holes on the doors.

    Almost done with patching the speaker holes. It took a long amount of time to make these look decent. I think this is the best I'm gonna get. Had to order a new paint gun. Started working on the dash pad while I'm waiting for the paint gun. Plan on fibergalssing and paint it.

    Did you use the same material for the door cards as you did the roof?

    Started working on my truck during Christmas break. Haven't made a lot of progress for the last few months. It gets dark too early after work these days. My friend came over and helped me paint the doors. He did good with painting, but my bodywork didn't turn out as well as expected. Oh well, it was a good practice doing bodywork.
