What are your plans for finishing off the front of the wall? Different stain? Or paint? Dark Walnut stain on the wall to match the door pods. 3 coats of stain and then 3 coats of satin clear (or maybe high gloss, I cant decide).

WalledSonic Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Boring update. I fucking hate prep work and painting. Just always have. But I want it to look nice this time around. This is my face of disapproval as I start the last leg of painting the interior of the box. You can tell by the furled brow. I'll need one more touch up on the port splitter tomorrow. The typical view in the viewport... the white is a lot more consistent now. You'll be able to look all the way into the back of the port too Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalledSonic Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 No new content, but here's some more stuff I've already done to the car: Had to remove the rear seat airbags, which caused an airbag light. The airbag system is all in series. I just measured the resistance of the airbag (2.2ohms), bought some resistors on ebay for less than $2, then installed them. Finished up with heat shrink to protect it. Installed a Front brake upgrade kit by ZZP Performance. Supposedly these are redrilled Camaro SS discs. They are way bigger than stock (12" vs 11") and they stop this bass brick with a quickness. For the doors, I sealed off the inner shell with mat. The entire door skin is also matted, which you can see thru the speaker hole. The door is pretty much sealed up now. For the door panels, I filled any cracks/voids with glue and expanding foam. Then they got a layer of mat, also. The gaping hole in my door panel is for the wood pods I built. First I pressed some rivnuts into the door shell and bolted the pods to the door. Next the pod was form cut to conform to the door curves. Then stained And a (repost) pic of the final product Chevy Sonic Wall (4) 15's on 10k Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209412-2015-chevy-sonicwall4-15s10klithiumlarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ (4) Fi SP4 15's | (2) Ampere 5Ks | Active! | Arc KS600.2 & KS125.2mini | CDT Silk Domes | Silver Flute 8s | 240Ah JY | US Alts Jeep Wrangler JK (4) 8's in a 4th Order Build Log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/209841-shadow-2016-jeep-wrangler-jk4th-order4-8sdc-35klarge-case-hairpin-us-alts/ IG @walledsonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalledSonic Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hurricane Harvey netted me a few paid days off work. My house was about 8 vertical inches from flooding, so we were very lucky. During that time off, I made some progress on the build. The trunk hatch has a torsion bar that helps lift the trunk lid. I cut that bar out. This piece was left over on the trunk roof: Then I measured the location for the gas struts to be installed. Those brackets were in the way, so I cut those out too. I ordered some gas struts, but (2) 40 pound struts werent enough, so I sent those back and am going to acquire stronger ones. More to come on that soon.

WalledSonic Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 1/2" Polycarb sheet... 4' x 8' And while I had a truck rented, I stopped by Mason's Mill for some sexy plywood. (2) sheets of 3/4" Baltic Birch, (1) sheet of 1/2" BB, (1) sheet of 1/4" Birch, and (2) sheets of some other nice ply for the workbenches. This polycarb cuts really well with a 'plexiglass' jigsaw blade. Then started in on the rear wood roof. I shouldve done this to begin with, but lessons learned!
