dog24fret Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Where I am at right now. Will have to make more braces to make sure I have no flex or sag over time. This enclosure will be in here for many years. The added 200lb braces on top are results of my error not the designer. When I took the measurements it was with the back seat in. I had to cut it out due to broken latches. Well after removing it I found out the floor raised 1" from the seat back. When I removed the headliner to make support brackets to secure the enclosure. I found out the factory braces were in the way and took up another 1". So I lost the double walls on top and bottom. Bottom will be fine just from the weight. The top now has no flex at all like it was supposed to be. But will be even stronger when done. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it does. We always hear to grow you gotta step out of your comfort zone. Well I stepped out into space from my comfort zone lol 😆 Learning so much on this build. I should have done this years ago when I was young. I can't wait either. Having to force myself to have the patience to maintain the closest right way possible and not to hurry up.

dog24fret Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Some catch up progress. After laying down resin then next day I primed the port walls. The next morning we had a freak cold front. Well I woke up to this crap. I guess the second can or second tube of hardener was bad. The sides,inside and top of the port wall that were done with the first can. Dried perfect and no cracking. Ended up having to strip and grind down to wood. Then bindo and glaze again. This time it went as planned. I am using interior washable paint for the enclosure. The color is granite grey and seems to fit decently.

dog24fret Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Door pods wrapped and getting ready to be mounted to the door. Then I will spray stain the pods and main door. The dark pewter that matches stock colors. The grey insert and trims will be changed to med grey. This is the second time doing vinyl and first time going this far with doing doors. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. Cowboy Escort GrAnny ThUmper The Burp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog24fret Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Got the door panels on and speakers in wired up with easy disconnects. Went ahead and put 80mil sound deadener on the panels also. Added more matt and used a brush to add more spectrum deadener to the doors. After all is said and done. The deadener is as thick as the plastic used to make the dash from lol. No more Chevy rattle can now. The only problem I ran into with everything. Is each freaking pod has one little spot that rubs the dash. I'll have to put either tap or a felt dot there to protect the vinyl. I think my first time came out pretty decent. Had to fix the mm to mil. I just learned it is actually .08" . Never thought about the actual measurements or correct way to say it.
