razuuk004 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 HELPFULL TIP FOR YA'LL OUT THERE. WHEN SANDING AREAS THAT ARE FLAT BUT CURVY, LIKE THE INSIDE ANGLE CUT OF MY RINGS, DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS AS GUIDES, IT WILL LEAVE A WAVY PATTERN THAT WILL BE VISIBLE WHEN YOU PAINT THE PIECES. INSTEAD USE A PIECE OF FLEXIBLE FAKE WOOD RUNNING BOARDS THAT THEY SELL IN HOME DEPOT. CUT A PIECE AND CURVE IT WITH YOUR HAND, CUT A PIECE OF SANDPAPER THE SAME WIDTH OF THE BOARD, GLUE IT TOGETHER USING 3M SUPER 77 ADHESIVE AND YOU HAVE AN INSTANT RADIUS SANDING BLOCK. LIKE SO. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. A PERFECTLY CURVY FLAT RADIUS.

79 cutty Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 good info! I always use an assortment of dura blocks: http://www.tcpglobal.com/autobodydepot/durablock.aspx And sanding blocks from Mobile solutions: http://mobilesolutions-usa.com/smartparts/sandingproducts.htm but that is definitely a good budget option! Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

razuuk004 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Weekend update: It was pretty cold but still managed to do some work. Molded the arm rest / control panel to the door. touched up the area for the TV Screen. Sanded down the rest of the panel down to 240 grit to eliminate the factory wrinkle look from the plastic. made a negative of the area where i'm gonna mold the other tweeter at. then i will have to make a positive from the negative and mold the tweeter to it. It will be flush into the area. i also have something planned for this area with Lit Up Acrylic.

JNells Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Looking good! I like the design! Are you going to make the edges/lines of your acrylic parallel with the rest of your design? Like the back edge of the acrylic and the bottom edge of the tv mount. It looks a little perpendicular in the pic. I personally think it would look best if lines were parallel, but that's just my 2 cents. Either way I'm sure you'll make er look good!
