I have power everything but when the 1/2 doors are on, I'm going to have the speakers and 2 switches for the rear windows wired in.
As far as panel goes... I had a driver panel I cut to shape but it left huge gaps and didn't fit right. It looked like crap so I'm going to make my own panels. Thinking of using fiber board and wrapping it in vinyl. I'm open to suggestions on materials though.

I haven't given up, just busy. I had a lil time yesterday to weld up passenger door. It's ready for body work.
Only thing left besides, paint and install.

The body work is going to be the longest and biggest pain of it all. It was my first time with bondo when I made my half doors so it took me 3 days to get something close to smooth. It also didnt help that I started off with beat up doors.
they look great! not that it matters, but do your power locks still work? Got a window solution yet? like the snap-button plastic ones some guy has on a white 2-door? lol anyone help me here? whats that guys username
edit: his name is nitro450exp and he has some super clean half doors documented under fabrication

Thanks.
Rear power windows and remaining locks work. I used stock door wiring harness so everything still there works. As far as windows go, I'm not looking to put windows on. I did see those made for the two door and they're nice.
