Default Driver's Door Complete

I finally finished the drivers door.

I mounted the mirror and window controls over the speaker opening (thanks to a tip from Ryan ). Ground off some plastic with a Dremel from the window switch panel and epoxied both control assemblies to a piece of Kydex. I used the existing speaker bolt threads to connect the panel to the door.

That's a nice, clean build.

Civilians have no idea why anyone would do this to a perfectly good car.

Bravo, Bravisimo

Using the speaker box makes perfect sense.

The exhaust and the singing of the tires. It's like a symphony in there.

Also from instructors ("We're gonna DIE!!!!" , "Get me out of here...")

Don't remind me of that freaking Russian in the 29 car in white. I almost climbed out the window!
