The nicest parts you will never see

Almost a Shame to put the door cards back on! They looked so bad before painting.

yes, they look so pretty. this is why there is always 'mission creep' that hurts the budget. this makes you want to buy new wood door card panels and transfer the materials to the new panels so you have perfect panels. for the trunk panels, there are a couple of sources to buy these panels (already finished) or you can make new panels and easily recover. for the hood, buy new foam and install while the hood is on stands - check the FAQ for a good source. oh, before you put door panels back on, buy some Alvaro's pre-cut plastic covers to provide moisture barrier between the door + door panel

File under Dept. of Useless Knowledge: The plastic moisture barriers are called “Acela” (I read in a factory manual somewhere.) Yes, also known as the premium trains on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. I knew the guy who came up with the name: he thought he made it up. Had I told him he was wrong I would have been fired.

What if you told the Acela guy that 3.5 hours between Boston and NYC is not that fast? Slowcela perhaps...
