    slowpoke... you just squeeze the hardener into the gallon and mix it with a paint mixing drill bit. then you get your hand shovel and glop it on. when it dries add the next gallon. you can work on several panels at once to speed the process....hehe

    I use drywall mud. Much easier to sand and lots cheaper.

    If you make a mold, you can make entire quarter panels out of just bondo :biglaugh:

    That car scared me when I saw the pics......Had to go look and make sure nobody had stolen mine and wrecked it! But then I saw the Cougar lights and hideous hoodscoop and breathed easier. About the same shade of yellow, but mine is a whole lot straighter!:biglaugh:

    I believe the rubber mat was standard and carpet was an option. My 71 has rubber.

    I had thought about mounting speakers there, but inside mounted to the frame. Some thought/creativity would be needed for the panels.
