May 29, 200817 yr I have a question. Why did you start building the wall without removing the plastic panels in the rear? I would figure that you would create new ones or modify the existing ones for a clean, almost factory look, even though that could be misleading.
May 30, 200817 yr Author thanks, i appreciate the kind words. heres where its getting a little complicated, but this didnt come out too bad.did a little bit todaytomorow im gonna glass the entire rest of the box, but i wanted to get it glassed up in the corners first, let it harden (which is hard as a rock now) then tomorow ill put a 2nd layer over that while i coat the rest of the box.foamed it up firstthen taped it up. i used a special anti-Darrell solution. this is an inside joke between me and robin, about a fat dude that works at my job (robin used to work there)and finally, glassed
May 31, 200817 yr Author baffle = on for good.braced it, and the port. the 2x4 really helped the bottom of the port.and the gaps that need to be sealed up with wood first, then glassed over.and the pics you all have been waiting for
June 2, 200817 yr Author kicker 1/0, and kicker 4awg wire FTWthe blue is getting swapped for matching black/gray. he gave me blue on accident.went from these gaps on the sidesto thistrim panel will cover all this. had to cut it like this to get it past the B pilliars, unfortunatelysub is hella close to the top of the port.
June 7, 200817 yr Author havent done **** for the last couple days loli lined the box with mat, im prally gonna go resin it now, sun is starting to go down, i hate working in the sun... lollittle bit of resinstarted to rain, gonna go out and finish the rest of the matted area now, before it rains again
June 7, 200817 yr different build, that's for sure, lol. can't wait to see the finished product though. this thing has no choice but to be loud.overall, looking good VJ.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
June 8, 200817 yr i've been following this for awhile, and i just wanted to say it looks awesome. Can't wait to see some vids (i doubt any camera will do it justice though, lol). Wish i had the tools and skills to do that.
June 24, 200817 yr Author dyed some more things today.wanted to cover these in suede, but it came down to buying $27/yard suede, and having my upholstery guy cover them (lots of stiching, due to the shape) vs. a can of dye for $9, so i dyed them.the piece next to it is primered (even with the primer it looked like it did before i primed it anyways)the flash makes it look shinier than it really ispainted.
June 24, 200817 yr Author carpet was really clean under there lolim redoing the entire carpet though to blackrandom piecespaintedall pieces in the house so they dont get messed up til i finish it all
July 12, 200817 yr Author once this drys, i will put a few coats of flat black over it, so itll look somewhat like this (couldnt get a good pic)
July 13, 200817 yr Author thanks.i painted black over the port, it looks OK....not sure if im liking the flat that i used, i have a can of gloss i might shoot a little area with gloss black and see how it looks... i sort of like the gloss anyways becuase it looks "wet" since its got the gloss to it. the flat sort of looks cheap now that i painted over the texture.
