I'll most likely run dual alts..there is more than enough room under the hood
and I have room underneath the floor to put a couple of batteries




a couple more pics of the finished door pods...

I need new fingers...about 6 hours of strait sanding makes hands bleed

will have more pics as soon as they get back from the Upholstery shop

 

Keep the pics coming!! Gonna show my dad what your doing to a 98 Windstar. He has one too, and thinks that mine is crazy ..... he's got no idea! lol

 

Buying a $50 or cheaper sander can make that type of work go a whole lot easier.

 

I have a few sanders and they are only good for very rough sanding on a curved surface like that if it's going to be painted. For that really good smooth factory finish.. hand sanding is the only way on a complex curved surface.

Most places will just use a power sander, add a glaze coat, give it a quick hand sand and paint it..which under any light always shows alot of imperfections, reflections are all over and not smooth. etc.

 

I have a couple of different sanding disks for knocking down the bumps but like said
above it takes hand sanding to get the contour correct

 

You can get sanding discs down to 3" or smaller or small-footprints to make work of a shape like that much easier. That shape isn't that entirely complex from the looks of it. Yes, hand sanding for the finish but a person is just wasting a ton of energy and time to hand sand it entirely just so they feel better about it; especially if it's going to be covered with material and not painted, as the OP already said. Either way, it's not my project or my time spent but I'm sure the outcome will be nice.
