fiberglass speakerboard

[Beez_S13]

ok, so im almost done doing my first fiberglass piece, and its of the rear deck, i guess, i cant figure out anything else to call it. but where the old carpet was and where i had my old speakers, it just looked crappy. so i took it out, made a template of it onto mdf board, then made some rings. then i wrapped it with some heavy duty fleece, added some fiberglass mat and a lot of resin, now im just finishing shaping it up. my plans for it are to wrap it with vinyl, or paint it.

looks cool with me. fiberglassing hard? your first? maybe you could teach/help me fiberglass my extra dash.

i would love to help you with a dash. no, its really not that hard, everyone just makes it out to be hard. really, you just have to know how to mix the hardener. so you have decided to make a fiberglass dash? sweet. like i said, i would love to help out you and anyone else. oh yeah, this was my first, as you can probably see, it still needs a little more sanding and bondo. the reason i sprayed it is so i could see all of the small things that need takedn car of. so yeah.

looks good man, ima also do that to my dash, thinking of putting in some spots for guages along the instrument cluster
i have used fiberglass a few times, & as u said u jsut have to get the hardener mixed right, but its pretty easy to use & work with

yes, i actually do have some leftover fibrglass and resin, i actually didnt use that much, and i am planning on making a custom dash as well. make a few gauge hubs like in the old 240z's. i will probably try to replicate the dash setup thats in my 71 240z. i love the setup of it, and it provides a larger array of gauges. should be fun.
