where the updates?

Sorry guys. I had hoped to have a bunch of update pics by now, but instead, yesterday I set myself back a little. :(

Here's what happened.

The night before, I had loaded up the doors, along with some of my tools, and my new compressor, to take to my Dad's the next day so I could use his full-sized compressor to finish up the "body work" on the panels, and get them into primer. Well, this being the first time I have took my little compressor anywhere, I didn't pay enough attention when I loaded them all up. To make a long story short, the compressor fell on top of one of the panels, and caused a little damage. So the rest of the day, I WAS HEART BROKEN, and didn't get much done.

The damage isn't all that bad. There is a crack in the middle of the door, about an inch long, and a small chip missing on the edge of the sub ring. Not as bad as I originally thought, but still not good. I can't believe I did that....

Anyway, I'm getting that fixed today, and I have the whole weekend to work on them, so barring anymore setbacks I hope to have those killer updates for ya by the end of this weekend. Let's just hope I don't have anymore dumb-ass attacks. ;)

Okay, I have update pics. They aren't the super cool updates I was wanting to have today, but it's progress. TBH, these dp's are whipping my ass everyday that I work on them. But like a champ, I keep getting back up and back at it. This has been a lot more work than I expected, and I was expecting a lot. But we are getting there, slowly but surely! Anyway, here are the pics of my latest beat-downs... ;)

First up was the damage I mentioned a few days ago. I got really lucky that it wasn't worse. Guess these panels are pretty strong...

The damage part 1

The repair was simple. I glued the broken part back together, then installed one more piece of dowel rod. The other two spots just took a little filler.

So while working on the doors, I have also been trying to work on other little stuff for the interior. Prepping the panels for paint, and tweeters, and plexi ans such. So let's get caught up on what all is going on with that...

First up, the tweeter mounting. On with the pics...

Whoops, forgot to take a pic of these finished, before paint. My bad, you will have to see it painted.

Speaking of paint...

Then some plexi. I went ahead and cut it for the doors, and amps too.

The back piece will be painted, and they will have RGB LED's, just like the door panels. Should be LED's all over! Speaking of which...

Then it was back to the doors. I sanded and sanded and sanded some more! My fingers are literally raw!

So after sanding coat #4 of Rage, I decided to spray with filler primer, to help me see where I'm at with them.

Remember, they are not finished. This is just to see what else is needed.

And this is where I am at now. Still some more body work and sanding left, but they are getting there!

Stay tuned for more, and thanks for looking!
