awesome ...

nice that means my boy came too

I'm interested to know how you attached the plexi. I'm building a box (hopefully this weekend, got my plexi today), for a 18" BTL. I'm using 9x18 pieces of 3/4" plexi. My plan for attaching them was to drill holes about 2x2" inside from each corner and bolt it to the MDF, then put double pieces of 3/4 MDF where the plexi is going as to make it sit flush.

Have any better ideas?

Bump, I'd like to get anyones opinion on mounting my plexiglass. I'm fixing to take it to a glass place to have them drill 1/4" holes in it. Thanks.

I use pretty much the same concept but I would put the bolts about every 5 or 6 inches apart. Plexi flexes pretty easily. You will be able to see the flex pretty well if you just put bolts only in the cormers. If I don't plan on removing the plexi, I use heavyduty liquid nails as a sealant. I find it bonds to wood better than caulk or silicone. And for the bolts I use a bolt with a flat screwdiver head that is similar in looks to a drywall screhead so I when bevel the hole in the plexi the screw sits flush. I also use a t-nut with a teflon insert like a lock nut.

I appreciate the advice. I didn't get to work on it yesterday because I had to go see about a job. I've already got all my MDF cut to size, and I took my plexi and had it drilled. I had it drilled before I saw this post, so the holes are in 2x2" from each corner. I didn't figure that flexing would be a problem since its 3/4", but I could be wrong. I'll also use the liquid nail like you said.

Thanks for the help

Here is a link to a video I made of my xcon flexing my hatch. There was more but my cameras sd card went corrupt i'll make more later.

it's going to knock the wood off of your car. Nice flex.

I'm uploading a video to youtube in a minute. It was at night, so I adjusted the gamma a little, so the video quality isn't the best. I will have more soon. So check back here in 30 minutes

Here is the link, its my xcon playing bass I love you.
