May 9, 201114 yr Author thanks for the compliments....made a little more progress on the rear wall and started the roof ...the weather will dictate my work schedule, which will dictate how much progress will happen through the week.... hope to start glassing by next week...
May 21, 201114 yr Author i will have several pics missing from this build due to a cell phone fail....(aka my camera most of the time)i have the rear wall finished with the 2"x4"s, deadener, and foam.... as well as the fleece stretched, waiting to be glassed.the side fenders are 2/3 of the way filled up with foam....going out with Gina tonight, might resin the fleece after we get back....tomorrow i will be starting the side panels and running some power wire.prayers for our iak family as there is a fair bit of us having hard times....
May 21, 201114 yr Author this cavity spans mid way of the wheel well and is being filled completly...one more application should finish this on both sides of the car
May 21, 201114 yr Author any voids were filled with foam and trimmed off before the the deadener was applied....the deadener, peel and seal, is a workable material tha smooths out the areas some for me...it is not truly intended for actuall deademing purposes....i have fleece stretched over this and intend on applying resin and matt....then filler to smooth it out the rest of the way....
May 25, 201114 yr Author the two cresendos came in today !also got the Loudspeaker Design cookbook (5th edition) in this week....if anyone ponders expanding foam next to window tint being a pass or fail scenario......Fail!!!! rear window now has two bubbles formed thus far from the mix.... guess i will have to vinyl over it at some point...sure not removing the wall...
May 26, 201114 yr Author the two cresendos came in today !Were are the pics?? brother i am one of those cell phone camera only type guys....we have a nice camera for big events but it is sorta off limits for me, lol (bull in china shop) i have a new cell phone on the way, i will attempt to get caught up on all the missing pics asap.(thanks to david!)
May 28, 201114 yr Author frame work and sides are done for the most part......the fleece was applied with a mild spray adhesive and when i began to saturate it with resin it failed.....literally about felled on on me..... ( dry sense of humour) .... so i battled to get it to stay for a while and then removed it all with the ol razor knife before it cured all the way...$10 for resin, $2 for fleece, $5 bucks for spray adhesive, head rush from vapors.............pricelessI will have to change my approach on rear wall...tomorrow might run some wires and clean on her a bit...not much planned till we go shopping again.
May 30, 201114 yr Author zero progress today,hope to get the ports and baffle material bought this week. will try to run the wires when it is not 90 degrees outside....need to decide on some front stage options soon....
May 30, 201114 yr Looks like its going to be strong! Keep up the progress. Hope to see this at Slamology.
May 31, 201114 yr Glad to see things coming along bro... keep up the great work and keep having fun with it!
June 13, 201114 yr i just wanted to tell you this now just in case u see this before we see each other at slamology-We both know you are not a veteran box builder, we are all here to learn from what we build and progress with each build we do next...I am also assuming that this is your first wall and many people that do their first wall somewhat fail at properly doing it.I even failed at my first wall somewhat on purpose because i wanted to learn what happens when running bare minimum support....Having said this and looking at your progressive pics of this wall..I just wanted to tell you that you are doing EXCELLENT progress, Chop.It appears you have absorbed the proper knowledge and was able to just jump right in with no past wall experience but so far so good!This comment should kep you motivated on top of the better weather here lately now to continue moving forward.Feel good that you are not guessing your way through this build, you are doing it right!
June 17, 201114 yr Author structure wise i am hopefull.....the "leak" hurt....i have not spoke too much about it....it hurts!sean, thank you!
