At this stage, the Thing will get new paint and begin the trim out. The custom floorboards have been fabricated and fitted prior to painting the interior. The custom door panels begin taking form. The first step is to fabricate the rough frames for the fiberglass, with the mounts for the LCD monitors incorporated in. Next these forms are sanded to smooth the surface
