Spent yesterday and today, finishing the rear seat side upholstery panels. I had previously laid-up some fiberglass panels to finish this area. I remounted the aluminum bottom side panels after drilling a hole and installing a grommet to bring the headset jacks through so they can attach to the upholstery panel. I trimmed the fiberglass pieces to final size, Then located and drilled the holes to attach to the nutplates previously installed in the vertical bulkheads. Then I used some body filler to smooth the surface of the fiberglass panels , sanded that, then using the same spray adhesive I used for the door panels, I glued some of the same tweed fabric to the panels. I got some #8 oval head screws and some #8 finish washers from Ace hardware and used those to attach the panels to the fuse. Bit by bit the interior is beginning to take shape. I'll have some armrests made at the same time I make the arm rest for the center console, and cover the glareshield. this is in the same leather that the seats are covered in and should tie the interior materials together. I'm also considering installing some smaller / oval matching leather panels within the door panels and the rear seat side panels.
