Radioactiv Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks for the info on the bluetooth adapter, honestly didnt know they made one for this old clunker. I didnt want to use the 3.5mm jack unless I added a external DAC. The bluetooth seems to be around $200, maybe I can find a used one. Thanks for the help, i'll be watching how you mount that thing, ordered a Nexus 7 today for mine 1993 Ford RangerWalkthrough20, North Georgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Ok here goes. Goal tonight was to get it prepped and wrapped and a coat of resin on it! Success!!! So first I had to rough it up a bit. Pre roughed Post roughed! Just used some sand paper and sanded the whole thing. Now it's time to make some holes! Why do I do this? Well it gives something for the resin to bond to. I think the theory is, that the resin soaks through the material, and then down into the holes. It helps make a stronger bond, if I understand correctly. So a 1/8" drill bit, and some patience, and you get....................... swish dash kit!! The carnage!! Next I sanded it again, just to get some of the left over burrs off. Time to get her covered! Tools: Daughters assorted colored butterfly clips Scissors Painters tape Grill cloth or material of your choice With the tape I tapped off some of the areas I really didn't want to have resin on. In this case I was trying to keep it off of the holes and areas around the HVAC controls. I don't want to have to try and smooth those out and risk a crooked fit. Probably going to happen anyway, but if I can help it I'll prevent it. Second, I wanted to protect the inside of the dock. Specifically the connector. Don't want any resin in there or the project is ruined! So I got everything tapped off I needed to. Also threw some in behind the big holes. I knew once the grill cloth gets saturated, it seeps through the other side, and I don't want a big mess! I failed to take pics while I put the clips on, but basically I started at the bottom, clipped the cloth on, and then stretched it over the top. Then clipped on top. Then went one side to the other stretching it till it looked good. Keep in mind, the grill cloth is going to sag sometimes when doing this, so I try not to be too perfect, but close perfect is good. You can see the inner frame if you look hard enough. Next I tapped, again, around the areas I didn't want resin on, and then I tapped around the edges so as not to completely ruin the clips. Maybe I can reuse them when I'm done! Time to make some magic!!!! Resin, cup, stick, brush, hardener, oh and the gloves! THE GLOVES ARE NECESSARY!!! Ok let's do this! Not a great pic, but first coat is on! I'll let it dry tonight and tomorrow and may put a second coat on tomorrow night from the inside and outside. Otherwise tomorrow night will be quite most likely. I may, if I get the ok from the wifey, start on the head unit testing tomorrow night. I got my part in that I was waiting for so I'm good to go I think! I didn't really need it to start the test, but I just like to have everything together. I think what I'll do for that is just check for my ground and power, and see if I can get it to light up. I'm not 100% sure how I'll find the ground, and if anyone has any suggestions on how I'd do that please feel free to let me know. But I'll see what I can do. Ok, that's all for tonight! Time for some QT with my wife and bed soon! Night! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 LMAO! Well, my workbench is a disaster area, so this is what I have to work with! I actually resined it outside, and that's where it's at. I just brought it in for the picture. Done that before though. Next morning my wife comes in from heading to the car, "um honey, something smell horrible in the garage, I think something died"! Immediate laughter ensued! Ok really off to bed now! night!
