EpicenterDesigns Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 OK, don't mean to whore your thread, maybe a mod will see a better place for this? In this sequence of pics, I took the tweeters flush mounting cups and cut a hole for them to sit in some. Roughed up the surrounding areas for them to be bonded. Then I use some Evercoat Maxim medium set urethane to bond the cups to the pillar. http://www.evercoat.com/productDetail.aspx?pID=179 Then sand that down and use some Rage body filler to smooth out the transitions and your done. SIDE NOTE:::: these pillars were textured and color matched back to stock.

byron2817 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 another ?? Does it have to be fleece.i used an old shirt NEED TO GET LOUDER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 No it doesnt. The fabric provides a hard surface to start glassing on. If you're glassing to plastic, you can wrap the whole panel in fabric (see the door buildup on Chicken's lade) and resin that, so that you have a bondable surface to build off of A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicenterDesigns Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 another ?? Does it have to be fleece.i used an old shirt IF YOU MUST WRAP A MATERIAL around it, fleece is one of the worst things to use. It creates more body work. Look for a material called Ponte' at Jo-Annes fabrics. Now, the reason I showed you how I did it is that it requires NO MATERIAL wrapped around it. Speeding up the process, saving you money and getting it done alot quicker.

Forevrbumpn Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 nice Epicenter I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Performer Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hey epicenter, those pillars came out amazing, but I thought it was a no-no to use filler straight on plastic? CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks' Click to see my build!
