Today I painted inside the doors as best as I could. I had previously cleaned off the old sound deadener (it was all falling off) and cleaned up the rust as much as I could reach. Same with the painting.
Then I put on patches of sound deadener (Noico) to reduce vibrations. The panels don't need to be fully covered. If I covered more it may be slightly better, but with what I have on there right now there is a big difference.
I'm currently attempting to get the cracked driver's window out of the frame so it can be replaced. The local glass shop quote me a lot of money to remove and replace due to it being very difficult to get out. I'll give it a shot and see. So far I got the bottom piece off, but not the stainless steel frame. The glass is cracking like crazy so I may not be able to save it as a pattern.
Lastly, I'm gathering the rest of the the materials I need to redo the door panels. The door panels themselves were originally 1/8" hardboard, so I picked up a couple sheets of it at Lowe's for like $15 a sheet. I also picked up some other tools like punches, a jigsaw, etc.
The rear panels appear to be a different backing material. Only one is original, the other was poorly attempted with foam board. It appears the original is some sort of cardboard, also 1/8" thick. I'm assuming the hardboard will work fine on these rear panels as well.
