hey guys i was thinking about getting some door panels that are a hard fiberglass or something wondering if anyone knows where i can get that done or how i would go about doing that?
Also letter on you know doing other parts...because i think laying fiberglass down on the door panels and stuff would be alot of work...
if i am not clear let me know i will try and make it lol thanks guys.

basically all i want to do is start doing some custom fiberglassing on my dash as well as maybe doing something with the door panels... so that they fcan look like the carbon fiber ones that are for sale on the forum for about 600 obo... i just want a smoot look... i have read on the internet that you can just obviously lay out the stretchy cloth, and stuff like that cut out your holes, and make templates of what you want to add...anyone got any good sites or ideas that i should use alright let me know guys thanks

it took about 3 attempts, this was my very first f/g project, I hadn't made a flat panel or anything, just jumped right into doing a dash board. I did door panels as well but they are slightly warped from not supporting it them evenly as the f/g cured.

I used manual door panels, pulled off the vinyl and carpet and then glassed them as a whole. If I were to do it again I would leave the top part wrapped in vinyl and just dye it whatever color I want and then only glass the bottom section since they are separated easily.

that is what i needed man thanks...so how long it take you to pull the dash i was just going to use a old dash i can get from the junk yard to try it out and stuff like that...
