Here is my progression with the kickpanels. Steps so far...
1. taping the area, laying down aluminum foil, and then taping over that
2. covering everything nearby in plastic (fiberglass in carpet = permanent)
3. putting down the resin and fiberglass mat
4. the molds after removal from car
5. speaker rings mounted
6. passenger side wrapped and first couple layers of body filler added. It's looking really good so far, but there's still a lot of sanding left.

You'll notice the driver's side panel has a hole cut in the back. I had to do that to get the speaker far enough away from the clutch. I'll go back later and full enclose it, but left the hole for now. Thankfully there's enough room to recess that speaker some. Weather permitting, next weekend I will have the amp rack started.
Wow, nice work. I actually had no idea how any of this worked. Pretty cool to see the pics like this. Thanks! Keep updating if you can.
