Project - /6 Beater

The door panels photograph well but are also not that great. The bottoms are all delaminated and falling apart.

I've also made my own package trays before using melamine (sp?) from Home Depot. I make a template with cardboard. Cut the fiberboard with a jig saw. Paint it black, and pop in some 6*9's. Looks pretty much factory that way.

I am debating doing some homemade door panels like tobysold for the interior to help save a buck or two and give the car some more personal touches.

Update - Bodywork is 95% done. May try to paint the hood and roof today if time & weather permits. Was actually hoping to fully paint it today but ended up taking yesterday off from working on the car (work was closed) to celebrate my eldest son's 11th birthday...

My door panels are the same way (see thread Resurrected Junk). I picked up on TobySoldBlue's stuff too. I'm thinking I might try to make new ones and go to power windows at the same time.

The melamine is the closest thing I've seen to what the factory used. At the time I built the package tray, I didn't have the ability to transport a sheet or even a ½ sheet of it. I laminated cardboard and covered with carpet. Put in a pair of 6 x 9s & a defroster yesterday.

Yesterday was beautiful here. After I heard about the coming overnight weather change, I went back out and finished the installation of the amp and rear speakers. Things started getting too chilly for a T-shirt around 9 PM.
