BEEMDUB Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Ok so after my sub setup is in and good to go and I get a second battery, my next project will be my front stage. I plan to get a set of RF 6.5 comps and a p300.2 when the funds allow it lol Now I wanted to glass them into the pillars but my biggest dilemma now is this...Do I have to sacrifice my stock pillars and fiberglass them directly? Or can I tape them completely > glass them > and take the shell off and use that and save my stock pillars...hope that made sense I'm still VERY new to fiberglassing but I want to get good at it so bare with me.. Also how would I attach the fiberglass pillar sense the factory clips wont be on it? Edited March 8, 2012 by BEEMDUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loslam Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) What I did for my doors was just tape everything up and then make my glass and molds over the tape. I didn't have a removable shell but if I ever wanted my original door panels back, I could theoretically just rip off what's on top of the tape and nothing would be damaged as far as my door. Not sure if that's what you would want to do for your pillars, but just giving you an idea.

87chevyboi Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 put aluminum foil on your stock a-pillars then put fiberglass mat on it and fiberglass it. may need 2 layers for extra strength, you can hold it on the pillar by either bolting it with a screw, velcro, fiberglass the tabs on the fiberglass piece off the stock piece. My build aka Snow White whats wrong with fat chicks? they are like mopeds, as long as your friends dont see you riding it, they are a blast! hahah I am dumb as a stump. I live in the south and we are all dumb here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
