No sir, unfortunately I don't.

I got started on the new door panels and "Oh what a relief it is" to being in the shop again. Yesterday I got patterns cut and shaved down to where I wanted them to line up on the door. Then today I did some filling so that the panels follow the contours of the door. Here's some update photos.

More after sanding.

Keep us updated on your door panel quest. I like your ideas.
I can see after the door panel design you are going for then will come a center console, seat covers, headliner and maybe new dash pad all tying in with your design. That will make you loose some sleep with ideas turning in your head now. Lol.
Seriously, Good work and the market does need additional premade custom interiors in my opinion. My preference is a slightly updated version of the old but not full modern styling. That's me anyway.
Many of us do not have good custom interior shops available in a decent shopping distance. May just be a rust belt thing.

Haha, yes the center console is next and thanks for the kind words. I managed to get in a 6-pak worth of work on Friday so I wanted to update the progress. Admittedly, this center section was a real PITA so I'm going to redesign my process in order to pull both molds off of this one center section. It'll lend better to consistency from side to side anyway so I'm ok with that.

More, more...

Well I got some more work done today. Here's a few pics to prove it actually happened.
