Burning brake smell. Well, that'd be a good thing. It shows they're working

Good on ya mate.
Like the sign. Oh, and looking at your door panels has got me to thinking I should do the same/similar. I am thinking of using plywood with tough vinyl on it so I can sew some pouches onto them. Plywood is slightly softer on skin too for when the car bounces around
Tanalised ply means no rot. And cheap too, about $10-$15 a sheet (packing sheets, not the good stuff).
