Purplehaze Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 Okay so I guess I'll post up some updates, just in case anyone cares...Got a little bit done over the last few days, check it out! Started on the rear door panels, because until they are done, I can't move forward with the wall. So here we go!First here are the front doors empty. I will make the back ones the same way, except no speakers or plexi window. Just flat panels. Here we go! So first up I made a trip to the hardware store for some wood../Wait what's this? Another PT? Yes that's right I have two, the silver one is my daily driver, the gold one well, you know So first I separated the inner panel from the outer ones, just like with the front ones. I forgot to get a pic, here is the outer shell in place.Also, this shows a lil problem I wasn't expecting. The baffle will be going over the door right where the handle is... So to solve this problem I will just remove the handle. Don't really need it there anyway.So to get started I took the inner panel, laid it out as a template, and traced the pattern.Then after getting them both right, it's jigsaw time!Sweet, now to clean up the inside of the outer panels for a nice clean fit!Got to remove the handle for a clean finish. They actually make these to be removed and replaced if necessary. I'll probably use that feature on the front ones!All gone!More on the way....

Purplehaze Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 So now it's time for test fitsEverything's good, now for the second layer. This time it's MDF (for a cleaner edge w the round over)Now how about a nice clean round over...Here they are on the doors (test fit time)This will be much easier to get to seal up IMO...And that's about it for the moment. I still need to mount these to the doors(I will use t-nuts just like the front doors), cut out the spots and fill them in. Then they will be ready to be wrapped! Vinyl is setting in my closet waiting to be used.After that it will be time to cut the baffle! Thanks for lookin', much more up ahead!

And for real, if you want me to build you some doors just hit me up, we can make it happen. You wouldn't have to send them to me, I could just build them and send them to you, but you would still have to mount them to your doors yourself. I could build you whatever you want for about 600 - 800 per set, that would be parts and labor, including vinyl wrapping. You would have to supply your own equipment, as well as pay for shipping. Just let me know if your interested, I have a set of s10 doors waiting for me to build this coming week, and could start on them after that. I am actually in the process of trying to open up my own shop now doing exactly that! Looks great just guna have front stage no rear fill? There is a small rear fill, (2) - 4" and (2) - 5.25" Kicker KS 2-ways, all powered by a Alpine KTP-445 "Power Pack" (45w x 4 RMS). They go in the b pillar where the seat belts used to be. The new seats have 4 point harness. I just don't think it needs any more than that, the car is so small, especially once the wall is in.

Purplehaze Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 very nice work, love the doors. Thank you! I appreciate everyone's feedback! Definitely helps my motivation! I have a few new pics from yesterday, but I'll probably just wait till tomorrow to post them up. Today I'm gonna try and finish them up, which will include wrapping them. Then the first part of this build will be complete (rear doors) ... Time to find out how good I am at vinyl wrap! Then I got somethin' else in the works for more power, like maybe a second alt...
