Panels on a BorderLayout

Hi. I have just finished this application that draws a rectangle inside a panel & uses a thread or a timer to animate it. The problem I think I'm having is that I can't see the panels on the contentPane. I can make them animate one at a time in the center of a BorderLayout, but I can't seem to get them to work together in east and west Panels.

I tried to follow the SSCCE methodology, but may have failed on the "Short" bit.

Any Ideas on how to fix this...or what's wrong?

ttyl.
