Also, if anyone has done this, please post a few pics up, im trying to get ideas for what fabric to use in the door panels...

I did one. It was a pain in the ****. I took the one I did and the other three to a professional upholsterer. he made a new piece to replace the one I screwed up, and installed the other 3 inserts I had. Mine were leather. If you are doing cloth they might not be as terrible to do...the leather was terrible to do, and I have done quite a bit of upholstery stuff (headliners, installed seat covers, carpets, covered custom enclosures boxes and dashes). The door panels are not for the faint hearted, nor those not equiped with very good glues and upholstery tucking and cutting tools.

clint, call me or pm me. I'll tell you a somewhat easy way to do it. I did it on mine and it will make changing the fabric easier in the future also.
