these are the peices with body work complete on the pieces themselves. then they all get sanded back down and worked together. each piece is atleast 3/16" fiberglass layup not including fleece thickness.

next few pics might suck i did it at night, but you get the idea. the first one is a skeletal fame for the 3d pieces. the back of it is acually part of a layup i did for an original idea that got pitched, no need to waste glass.

lol the bird was unintentional.

black marker lines are used to better see the edge of the body lines while sanding

IMAG1822_zps972ef242.jpg

i had all 4 pieces tinted/cleared. i had them sanded to 2000, polished to make sure they wer perfect, and then took them back to 800 for paint.

luminum....

IMAG1829_zpsee54b289.jpg
polishing is a process. dirty nasty process..but i cut and did this in probably 4 hours.

since the aluminum was an afterhtought...i had to machine down the trim so that i didnt have .10" of it sticking up over where i body filled the panel. easy enough and adds a nice look with this rasied panel bit . basically a 80 degree chamfer

most people prolly didnt look close enough at the show to see the back peice where the latch is or the roof...but i know its there, and im proud of it lol

There is also a battery hidden behind the box, along with the port. (yes it is ported) . the 2 top vents allow for sound to trandfer thru to the factory woofer grill .
