scooter99 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Time to separate. As you can see the plastic on the table proved to be a little bit of a problem. While I was dabbing the resin on, and moving things around, the plastic wrinkled underneath it, and created these ripples. May not be a problem but we'll see. Houston, we have separation! And this is what we're left with. The edges need some work, much like the last pan I made. I'll deal with that later. That's about as far as I got with the tablet. I'll have to make some more time to work on it tomorrow. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Now then, between doing that, and the next project I had decided I'd had enough of my damn work bench being so mess. Can't find anything, waste a lot of time looking, so it was time to get organized! After that I started on the next project. I was planning on doing this project and the tablet project at the same time, but it just didn't work out that way. Oh well! So this is the start of the a-pillars. The Mid Range and Tweeters will go up here. I didn't want to just make a couple of plates, or rings, and just glue them on, and I had been thinking about this for a while, but I wanted to do something a little bold, and a little classy, and within uniform as well. I don't quite think it's gonna work out that way. But we'll have to wait and see what happens when I get to that point. Here we go! Let's take a gander at the equipment. Hertz Mille ML700 3" mid range. Hertz Mille ML 280s Signature Series tweeters. Damn it these are gorgeous! So I started drawing out and measuring for the panel these are going to go on. Somewhat of an eight looking panel. Like I said I wanted it a little bit different. Then it was time for my little trim router.

scooter99 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 VIOLA! Little snow men! Party! Then it was time to start placing them. This was so extremely time consuming cause nothing seemed to look right. I bet I played with this for 2 hours. Had to remove some material. Time to turn these snowmen into some swiss cheese! Marked where the screw holes were at. This is material that needs to stay in here so the screws can go in, obviously. But the rest of it will be trimmed out and angled so that they can breath a bit better. Then trimmed the back sides.

scooter99 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Next I hot glued the panels in place! Mmmmm! Test fitted! They're not too bad, but I want them angled a little higher. I've got it out again, and had to take out some more material in the back of the a pillar, and now I can glue em back in with a higher angle. From the driver perspective. So that's about it today. I have to glue this pod back on tomorrow, and do the passenger side tomorrow. Then it's glass time! Thanks for tuning in! More tomorrow!

scooter99 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I forgot to talk about the dilemma. So my design thought in adding the extra room around the mid range and tweeter was to add another layer on top of it. What I wanted to do was end up with a little strip around each driver and have that be orange carbon fiber vinyl. Hertz is black and orange, is why I wanted orange. It's bold, but it's not much and would end up a classy look I think. Not over bold. Now, I don't see how I'm going to be able to do that. So I'm a little stumped on this one. The whole pillar is planned to be wrapped in black suede. I'm sure I'll figure something out. Maybe i won't be able to do the orange cfv. Not sure!

scooter99 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 That is gonna be sic! :clapping:Can't wait to see how this turns out!Your making me wanna start my dash and door panels! Thank you. I hope I can get them close to finished tomorrow. Don't have finishing material, i.e. suede or cfv, if I can even do that still. But I'm hoping they'll be close by the end of day tomorrow. looks sweet man! How did u make that circle jig?? It's just a piece of wood. I used the guard from the router, traced the screw holds, and used a counter sink bit to get the screws to sit all the way down in the wood, and drew a center line dead center of the bit hole. Now when I need to do a circle, I just measure the full width of it, divide by two, then that's what I need to drill a hole in the wood for. I just have to remember to measure on the inside or outside of the bit, whichever I'm working with. I'm actually going to break down, I think, and get a real circle jig. I'm tired of drilling holes and doing the math etc. Worth the money I think. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
