Is it necessary to remove the door cards to remove and recover each of the insert side panels? I couldn't tell for sure as you had the door cards removed.

Yes you have to remove the door cards to remove the insert panels. IIRC there are some metal tabs you'll have to bend a bit to get them to come loose.
if you check out RC-DEVIL's build thread: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/208663-The-Devil-s-Chariot/page2 Post 28 shows a great photo of the backside of the door panel and you can see the metal tabs that you have to bend up to pull off the door card inserts. The door handle insert you remove first with a trim removal tool or a screwdriver wrapped in a towel per the service manual. The other 4 "cards" or inserts are held on with those metal tabs.

For the door panels, do you glue the foam to the panel and then the leather to the foam or is the the foam just a spacer and then you glue just the portion of leather that's folded over the back? What type of glue/cement is used that doesn't smell too strong once installed?
Check out post 46 of my build thread for how I did it
