Here are some pictures of my first project. I made it out of fiberglass because there would have been alot of trick cuts. Also I liked the looks of a fiberglass finish. My car is a 89' Firebird
The begining:
The taping:
The begining of the first layer:
*Note no resperator soon bought one after this layer being outside with big fan wasn't enough air circulation*
The flimsy mold complete:
Fastforward a few layers....
The begining of fleece stage:
*Note MDF center piece to divide the two subs and added extra support*
Test fitted my box turned out to be to high and hit the hatch
So I cut it down some:
Test fit again worked out. So streached on fleece and here it is after a layer of fiberglass:
Thanks for looking. Project is finished just need a picture will work on it tomarrow. Feel free to leave your two cents, for I am broke after this one =p
