    Don, a question and not being critical in any way as it may well be the camera angle. On the door panel it would seem to me that the back leg of the triangle insert would be aligned with the back door edge straight up & down, and the pleats would follow that same line, and the bottom would be parallel to the bottom of the door. The picture seems to have both the back line and the pleats canted forward a bit. Just wondering how it aligns in real life?

    You are being critical Roger (The Engineer) there is nothing set in stone on how to do panels and things don't have to be symetrical. As long as it flows with the rest of the interior it's OK by me. Go look @ the interior of a Ferrari or Lambo, nothing is parallel or aligns to door . It's how it looks with the doors closed. JMO If they were alll the same this would be a very boring world. Workin on the roadster yet?

    I don't over think a project, I just build em.

    Or still ingineering?

    Wow, should I feel insulted?

    I clearly said leading in that I was NOT being critical, just asking a question. Sorry that being asked a question hit a nerve; and nope, I'm not working on the roadster much. In fact I haven't touched it for quite a while. Life keeps getting in the way, and I guess I still need to think about a few things yet.....
