Ram, 2 18's in A STICKERBOMBED 4th! Vids on last page!

[Cardboardcat15]

I got a bit done today. Not much since I slept through my alarm, but enough to get me going.

Heres what I had picked up from the Junkyard. Panels off a 2500 extended cab. Same exact panels, just has all the luxury stuff. (pockets, power window/lock etc)

Perfect fit

I WILL be able to get 4 8's in here, so that's a plus. Only doing two for now, leaving space for more later on.

Pulling the carpet off and cutting everything down to size

Though I didnt get a chance to use it today (lack of jasper jig) I splurged and spent 76 bucks for this and a set of bits.

Starting to score the surface for glassing.

Everything cut to size, now to draw things out

Looking good

Thank god these pyles have such a small mounting depth.

I'll be making a nice mesh cover with magnets for snapping in place, so I needed to make a trim. Since Edge Band isn't available locally, I went to Lowe's and got the next best thing. Thin as fuck, I hope it holds up to the glass.

I'll be laying some resin on the edges of this to stiffen it up.

Lovely

Both ready to mount

Between being lazy for pics and getting angry because my staple gun is a piece of shit, I only managed to snap two pictures.

That's all I did for today. My staple gun didn't necessarily have the strength to get through the panels with ease, so stapling took a hell of a lot longer than I anticipated. On top of that, my stretches are all kinds of fucked up, so I'll be having fun with the bondo this time around, ffs.

Anyway, I'll start the glass and bondo Tuesday morning depending on the time I get out of class. Expect more pictures Tuesday night.

Where did u get that thin trim material?

Lowes. It's birch veneer trim. It's really thin and is starting to warp under the weight of the glass, more than it already was lol.

Thanks man. I'll be having quite the time with bondo, lol.

maybe you coulda put a light layer of resin on the edge piece and then after its dry wrap it so you can pull harder

Nope, just gonna cover up the holes somehow.

As you can see, I've got one hell of a bondo trip ahead of me, lol.

What I want to see, Soaking through and making contact.

I forgot to take staring pictures, so here's where I started with the bondo. This is the second coat after filling all the major spots and letting it cure.

1st sand down.

Filled and re sanded.

Needs lots of work on this side.

Another hearty sanding

What it looks like now.

I bet half of what came off of the panel is ion my lungs, lol.

So I've got some work still on this panel, then it's on to the other one. Ill work more on em tomorrow and Hopefully Ill get monday off so I'll have sunday/monday to work everything together. My goal is to get them dipped and ready to mount by Monday.
