I would glass it in a way that can be changed easily. Maybe use a sheet of 3/4 MDF as a base and go from there. I am not a fan of changing a vehicle in a way that cant be undone.

kickass audio Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 you can use imageshack or photobucket. I personally use photobucket and when you post the pictures you just click on the little icon that says "insert image" in messages or on the forum and then copy and paste your link from photobucket into the box for it. its pretty easy to do. The only rule i can think of for a build on here is this... But for fiberglassing i have never done it before but i have been trying to catch everything i can about it. the biggest thing i can say is look at some of the member builds on here. some guys on here have a very detailed build log that you can read through and they describe everything in a lot of detail and even show a ton of pics of what it looks like throughout the entire process. One thing i would see about is if you have a good shop thats in your area see if they are cool and if they can teach you how to glass. The shop where i live is letting me use their term-lab for free and will even teach me how to glass and they do some beautiful custom builds themselves. It never hurts to ask.

bumonskateboard6 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 For doing the rear deck, it really depends on how you want it done. If you want them in "pods" on the rear deck I'd say build some MDF rings and then mount them at the angles you want. From there fleece over the whole rear deck along with the pods to make the shape then go from there with the typical resin/glass/sand/bondo/paint/sand process.

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It's a lot better and a lot more fun if you do it yourself and you have this whole forum to help you out if a question ever comes across your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog24fret Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone.Been watching Steve's door builds on utube and member builds and wow is all that can be said.Don't know where to put my pics at members build or here.When I need help with the glassing start new topic in general or elsewhere.Still new to all of the posting.
