Just finished with classes friday and am moving to my new apartment Thursday, so hopefully I can get a lot more done on these this week before I move. Thanks for checking out my progress. Hopefully have some finished or near-finished pics soon.

Here are a few updated pics. There is still some more sanding to be done, but I primed the door quick and put it back in the car so I could move.

7-3? I'll gladly tradt you hours. Im tired of working 7-7. I guess I got lucky with my GF though. She enjoys helping me and learning what im doing. Shes almost as good at fiberglassing as me.

Now back to the original topic...those door panels look pretty sweet! how re you going to finish them? Paint? If you are looking for a suede finish, I use this stuff called suede flocker. If you are interested make sure you buy the stuff made with nylon fibers. Its more durable than the regular stuff.

7-7 is crazy....i work that when overtime kicks in and it kills you! You got real lucky w/ the GF...if my girl knew how to fiberglass i could just kick back and say "good job honey" and watch my own project come together lol. She wants me to teach her, and Im sure I will get around to it sooner or later...but on the flip side I dont want her ending up to be better at it than me and THRASH my ego lol...so Im at a crossroads with that.

Back to business....

I am still workin on the eclipse panels...layed down some resin over the fleece today..damn fleece soaks up resin like crazy. Hopefully add some matting tonite, and ready for filler sometime this weekend...i'll keep you posted...in the mean time, feel free to tell your girlfriend to come teach my girlfriend how to fiberglass....she can start w/ my panels :)
