looking forward to the finish of these

[Julian 641]

It has come to my realization of glassing sucks haha

[bigrank916 72]

Any updates for glassing the sails?

[Kanaworm$ 292]

More pics, more pics!

[Julian 641]

Yep, i'll have some in the next day, didn't put any pics of me glassing them but i'll throw up some after i sand all the body filler and make them all smooth!.

[Julian 641]

There are aprox 3 coats of body filler, all hand sanded. i think they turned out great

what do you guys think?

[bigrank916 72]

These are turning out really nice. A little elbow grease goes a long way. Hand sanding? You are a brave dude.

Are you planning to paint or vinyl these? Just wondering with all the bondo.

[jcarter1885 995]

Everybody has been glassing lately, got me wanting to do some glassing of my own.

[Julian 641]

I'm not quite sure how i'd wrap these in vinyl never done it before. i may just use some gray automotive carpeting and see what happens.

[jcarter1885 995]

If you did all that work, it wouldnt make any sense to cover that in carpeting. Just my .02

[Julian 641]

Yeah, i wasnt quite sure what to paint it with. if theres a spray paint out there.

I've always been a fan of flat black, that's how I did mine.

[Julian 641]

i was thinking a base coat of flat black then a glossy white or something glossy

It's actually pretty cheap. 7 pounds of body filler= 20 bucks a lot of resin = 35~ and mat is like 6 dollars here.

Yeah the money is the last thing Im worried about, I will wait till it gets warmer so I will have more time and patience to deal with it (I hate doing shit when it is cold).

[Julian 641]

Oh yeah resin takes FOREVER to set up if it's cold. The body filler not so much it cures quite quickly when exposed to lots of light it'll stiffen up within 2-3 minutes and be hard after 5-6 minutes. The sail panel resin took about 12 hours to cure to the point it was hard.

I'll look into carpet and vinyl

[Julian 641]

all finished... i hope lol

[deathcloud 6]

that looks pretty good. I want to get into doing some glassing as well. A 3 way. 8inch mid, 6.5 midrange, and 1 inch tweeter. All glassed in my lower door pod. Would be SICK!

Thx for giving me some hope that I can maybe pull it off someday haha.

[Julian 641]

finally got my 260 amp alt in, took over 5 hours to get in, was a total bitch. voltage sitting at 14.8

[jcarter1885 995]

Its coming along slowly, have you got your wall designed yet?
