A lil more progress. Ran out of 180, so theres still some clean up that needs done, but I will touch it up later when I finish the door panels. For now, its close enough for govt work.

Got the Bondo mostly sanded n test fit to see how I like the look. I wanted clean n simple, but not totally plain.

Here it is in primer. 

I think I accomplished what I was after on these. By the time I finish the doors, I will decide if I want to paint them or wrap them. If it will help the sound, they will be wrapped in a fabric of some sort, but we will see.

Those A-pillars look good! Great job!

Thanks!

Eventually, I plan to redo them to fit a 3 way setup when the funds allow, but I went ahead n did these anyways to get me by until then. Who knows, when I get the doors done and have a chance to tune it, I may decide I like it better how it is.

Reinforcing the backside of baffle. (Hannah always makin sure I dont slack off)

I dont know what GM used to attach the carpet to my door panel, but its almost embedded into the mold seems like. Figured since its attached so well carpet makes a real strong layer to hold it all together anyways. (Not the first time I've fought w this stuff lol)

I trimmed up a couple pieces of cardboard to make a mold so all the lines flow together. Then I filled it w spray foam to help keep the shape of my felt over top of it.

Getting it all tacked down how I like and almost ready for a layer of glass.
