Well i decided to start on my audio system in my 93 extended cab and figured i would just go ahead and do everything how i wanted it and started off by makin some custom door pods for 6.5" component speakers and then decided to mold them to my panels and make the whole panel smooth so it would all look like glass. Luckily i have a WHOLE set of extra interior pieces so i dnt have to rush this....heres pics ill try and describe each pic
Firs i cut the bottom cubby hole off the panel:
I taped off the panel:
Applied 3 layers of mat as the mold:
I then drilled 4 holes evenly spaced on the panel and mold and put bolts through (to hold the pod to the panel) and put mat over the bolts to glass them in and hold them. and then pulled the mold off the panel
Trimmed the pods:
Built my structure:
Wrapped em in fleece:
Test fit on panel:
Resined the fleece:
Sanded the rest of the panel to rough it up and applied 2 coats of resin to the cloth on top and apllied bondo.
Mock up on the door so i could figure out if i need to drill holes for the bolts to fit but ended up jsut cuttin em off since i was gonna mold it on.
Prmed to see where i was at....have since apllied more bondo to make the pod flow better witht he door and have the drivers side completely done other than paint.
EASY ON CRITICISM AS I AM !& AND THIS IS MY FIRST GLASS PROJECT. WAT YA GUYS THINK?
