Continuation: sanded last batch of bondo, finally got it nice and smooth how I liked it and I test fitted it to c I everything fit and I I needed to do some last adjustments. And it fit quite beautifully actually! Considering the fact it's my first time ever making one of these! I just needed to sand Down the bottom part of the second speaker. And now finally into priming! I still have imperfections still. I have a few holes here and there that I will fill in with spot putty 2moro! Here r the pics!

Hit it with some thinner for primer prep:

Got to work on the imperfections. Filled them in with spot putty, had to do 2 coats of putty. A LOT of FRIKIN work involved here. All sanding. And this is only the first damn door..lol. Started cutting out the rings today and had a few problems..I failed 5 times cutting rings when the first 2 times it came out PERFECT no problems at all! And it was my first time doing it! And first try it came out! And now for some reason I can't cut out a third one.....the measurements kept coming out wrong and the edges kept on breaking. But at the end of the day. After 6 failed tried I made 2 more! Haha anyways finished up the imperfections and primed it again and started painting it........color......was WAAAAYYYYY OOOFFFFF!! So at 9 at night I went out to Lowes to find out they were. Closed and also home depot..WALMART SAVED ME!! Got the right color finished up the passenger panel!! Just need to wait to dry overnight and done with panel one! And time start panel 2!

I think its amazing that your making all of this yourself. Just scrolled through all 10 pages and I dont regret the time spent doing so.

Keep up the work!!

Thanks u very much kind sirs! And man. I'm doing this from the Meade videos! That's all the knowledge I have from this. Haha THANK U MEADE! But the sanding part is very very hard and tedious work. It's much easier to spend the money to upholster it. I painted it cus I don't have extra cash now. But when I do I'm gonna send it to my upholster guys to do it for me.

Man, vinyl it yourself. Little heat, little time, little patience, you'll be happy you did it. Paint turned out well though too! Keep en coming!
