    Coupe door panels

    While the last two spots of Rage were drying today I decided to pull the doors, finish the ends and make some door panels. Went to the Home Depot and picked up a couple of 2'x4' 1/4" MDF handy panels and made myself a pattern from cardboard. Made it a little large and slowly sanded away at a nice fit. Beveled the edges all the way around drilled and countersunk my screw holes and cut my door handle hole out. Then covered in 3M Carbon Fiber vinyl to match my dash and switch panel. Looks kinda plain right now but Im thinking of trying to find a small armrest to go on it.


    If in doubt......flat out-Colin McRae

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    Thanks guys. It was kinda done out of necessity. My doors were so far off when I mounted them to the frames the bolts were in different locations on the inner door. Looked weird if you looked at one door then the other so my OCD wouldn't let that go.
