Hey guys,
I started my first fiberglass project a couple of days ago. I am doing sub enclosure/amp rack in the trunk of my '62 Lincoln Continental. I am making 3D fiberglass speaker grilles that are the shape of the old lincoln emblem. Then I will make the enclosure for the 12's (two seperate boxes) then do some other stuff to tie it all together. I have gotten so far as the first grille fleeced and resined. I will use it to get the dimensions for my enclosure. Any advice would be appreciated. Oh apparently since I'm a newb, I can't post any pics.

Holy god! Sorry man, this website is so slow to upload. But what i was adding as well... you could have just cut some wood instead of using the metal and it wouldn't show those lines to much at the points, unless that is what you were going for.... as well... wood is a lot easier to cut than metal is to bend... IMO but looks good so far!

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, tried to figure out a way to use wood for the raised panels but it wouldn't have given me the look I was going for. But I appreciate the advice. Sorry still no new pics. I didn't really get the chance to work on it much tonight so not much more progress yet.
