Pontiac Grand AM Sundown Audio Build


Recommended Posts

Wait...y isn't the glassed part darker brown than the side that isn't?? I'm new to fiberglassing and have only glassed a few times but everytime I did it, it darkened the wood significantly. Am I doing something wrong??

the darkening is the wood absorbing it, im not using MDF for this

few more pics before i go off to work, ftl

getting my points drawn out

drilling through

now since the shim is so thin, i expected it to break, a chunk broke but it is nothing big or bad, i just taped over it and put a layer of fiberglass to help hold it together, i'll work on that when i get home tonight since it should be cured by then

heres after 3 hours of the glass drying:

c6fe40b3.jpg

debating on a second coat or not, not sure it needs it though just gotta sand the sides and back down, primer then paint and it should be good

since it appears the middle hole is the only one thats off, what i think im gonna do is just not put one there and paint over it so it appears to not even be there

have my amp switches on the right, LED switches on the left

heres the final product of what i have so far, yes i left the other side empty for now, i'll do that another time when a) i have LEDs again and B) aren't lazy.. IMO my setup > things that look cool :peepwall:

here what ive got now though

before:

971e8f07.jpg

97f6fc70.jpg

after:

1c1797f6.jpg

and the official final product:

42d8d35a.jpg

i'll eventually redo it some other day, this was just a trial run and im pleased so far but eventually it'll bother me lol so i'll end up redoing the whole dash kit when i get a new hu this summer

also, the white you see above the led holes, its just scratched paint i can just go over that with a sharpie, same with on the right side of the panel as well from when i was getting it in
