bibby>Chode Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ok guys, if you saw the thread about my truck, you know my pit chewed my honda's door panel to hell. Also, i've told you guys, that i've got my courage up looking at you guys builds/tutorials enough to try some glassing. I want to attempt something very similar to what steve is doing right now in his honda. Tomorrow i am taking the panel out of the car, and i am going to rip the old vinyl/carpet off. I also am going to put a layer of resin and kitty hair onto it, and knock it down after it dries. That will get me my basic shape. That is all i will be able to do until i order my comps. Right before i get my comps in, i am going to try to get some rings from one of you guys, Of course i'll pay for them. Then i can mount them, and then wrap them so i can resin/kitty hair them. Am i starting off in the right direction here? Give me some advise, tips, whatever, because tomorrow i am starting this. This is my panel now. I really cant screw it up, b/c it's going in the trash if i cant salvage it with glass. This is what i want my final product to look like except i want my comps pointing up torwards the listeners, and Where this has suede/carpet, i want all that to be glassed paint.

bibby>Chode Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ok, I just decided to go ahead, and take the panel off, so i am going outside to do that. I'll be back soon with pics. I may even start tearing the vinyl off of it, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibby>Chode Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Here is what I did. Not much. Shop was too cold to stay out there too long. Anyways, got the door panel off, and also took the window trim off the door panel along with the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meade916 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 wow that door looks just like the ones ive been working on..... mine are the first ones ive ever done so its hard for me to give you concrete advice. Its not my first fiberglass job though either. I think it might be a little tough for this to be the first time fiberglass job at this level of difficulty. I would personally mess with some other small experimental projects first and learn how the chemicals work before tackeling this. best thing to do would be to just look at a few of my older threads and the things groundpounder2k is doing and take it from there.
