OK…..I have stuff at Denz Place Auto restoration in Fenton Mi. Working with them I went out there the other day and spent a day blocking and sanding. We have the front doors, rear back pods, front center section and center primed and blocked. Still trying to decide on color and style. I think I am doing factory no floss or light gloss finish sort of like factory. The rings in the door and center piece will be the darker color of the door/dash. It will be a high gloss finish.
Here is a picture of three costs of sandable primer. Its pretty thick and it looks amazing once sanded. Here is a picture with it applied and once sanded

Sorry guys,,,,I have full custody of my daughter and been busy with her.
I got the kick panels done and ready for vinyl. Again the will have a lighted ring under the speaker lit blue
I started the over head. The front near the windshield will have a billet ford elblem with the Cummins “C” in the center. Very similar to the rear center console shape. All my switches for lights inside and my procomp lights will be mounted in the center with some billet push button switches. The rear Alpin DVD will be in the center with (2) 1” plexi rods going to the back. They will also be lit blue. This is in a rough stage in this picture but you see the shape taking place. Had to get some extra hands in there to show you whats going on
As for the rest of the panels. Finished block sanding everything and the primer is getting touched up. Plan is to spray one piece Next Saturday to see the color and finish. Most of the stuff will have some flatness to the color except the rings and panel inserts. They will be darker with a lot of gloss.
Sorry so long for the update

Well last night we knocked out both kick panels. The are all Wrapped in vynal and ready for install. Next we focused on the over head console. Here are some pics. I also posted some glue we used to quickly hold the Plexi rod holders. This is basically used in a body shop for plastic repair....Ill post the two part glue/repair stuff. Its back to the shopping list. I need to get swade for the head liner and over head. Also need to start purchasing LED strips lighting . These lights are super thin and will be going inside the plexi to light the plexi up

Well, got some progress done. Sprayed the existing headliner with glue and put new headliner over the existing. I always hated the old one once soot got on it. Yes....my truck smokes a lot. So, switched the material and then started wiring. I also move the heater controls where the old cup holder was. Here are some pics. Noticed all the wire that is going on for the lights. Wiring has began so that means I am past the half way point. Now the fun begins. All wire is spun to make it neater. Next weekend everything comes back from Paint.

Ok…Started working on the speaker rings. I lightly sanded them with 150 grit to make a frosted look. Then I used the LED waterproof strip lights. As you can see I have to cut the strip lighting right at the breaking point with the line thru the LED. I then had to solder some wire on them so I can wire each ring separate. After this I glue the lights on the inside of the ring so the outside will glow blue. See he picture of the finished lighted ring

sick. Totally sick. I wonder if you could sell the design to someplace like MTX for mold production. I can't help but imagine that if they made a mold for your door panels they'd sell like hotcakes. of course, then yours wouldn't be unique...
