bsneon98 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Mounting bolts for the subs Decided to do something different with the binding post markings. Free handed with my Roto saw. Wired up! Semi gloss black port. Couldn't decide on gloss or matte, so I went in between! T nuts glued and installed Top is on, glued and screwed. Whole box was sanded down to 220. I will be carpeting the box, but figured I wanted to seal it from any potential moisture. Loaded it for the first test bump. Sounds great, decided to celebrate with a beer and playing with some lights! Dont mind the trim panels. They werent all the way flush with the box, just needed to get an idea Couple weeks later I went nuts with the tape! Have alot of trimming to do. But this was all done with sunflash. Truly one of the best products I have ever used. Its nice not being rushed frantically to get a batch laid out before it cured (sorry out of focus) Daytime pic, again sorry for the out of focus Oh and got some more goodies from steve! 1 Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsneon98 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Ok been doing some on off sanding, need to take advantage of every second of outside time and since this can be done at any time Its going to sit idle for a while. Outside time where I dont have to rush and get everything inside before it gets wet Installed that night This is where I fucked up.I had that big roll out and cut 2 pieces for the fuse panel board. I know I have to re do it because I dont like the reveal around the cover. Sky was getting nasty and I was in a hurry. Didnt realize I glued it backwards when I did it the next night. Hard to tell but its a shade off and the texture is different. Oh well shit happens. Also got my fan board wrapped. This carpet is almost 3/8 thick without padding. Some really nice stuff but kinda a bitch to work with. Scratching my head at how I want to trim out the trunk.... Now with that board on the box its blocking my leds, decided to quick add a strip down below, still need to glue it in place. Now things finally are taking shape. This is when I stopped and realized ive never actually carpeted a box before. Here goes nothing! Trimming up the edges and cleaning up the bolt holes for the subs. Sorry these are so out of focus. I need a damn camera I hate using my phone for everything Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsneon98 Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Turned my cardboard scrap from earlier into this. This shows how the box appears to sit flush with the end of the false floor. Really have a bunch of space in between, the carpet is just that thick. A ton of measuring and planning paid off wrapped the battery board and made custom brackets to hold the battery snug, still have to paint those even tho they will never be seen. (also you can kinda see my cable hold down insert piece) Hmmm how am I going to do this...... Could kerf the wood, But then my sides wont be flat with the box, Those will be removeable so I can have SOME storage More thinking Wrapped the side pieces and stuck them in. Just had to get something accomplished. Felt shitty staring at a trunk playing with tape and cardboard lolHave to sand them a little to fit all the way flush so I can screw them into the box. I think I have found a way. And fast forward to this past weekend. Had a beautiful sunny day on Saturday, likely the last time I would have the chance to do this on a weekend. Broke out the Sunflash and every binder clip I could possibly find After a quick trim just to clean up the excess fabric and I now have another huge project on my hands lol Ive been glassing the last 2 nights, Im itchy as shit but its starting to look half way decent. Will post pics later when its picture worthy lol Edit: double post Edited November 1, 2016 by bsneon98 1 Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
