roscoe1129 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Just a lil criticism. More sanding on them pods. They are way wavy bro. F/G is not easily smoothed. Your on the right track though and its looking good.

Noobtastic14 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 Thanks Roscoe it gets frustrating seeing all these amazing fiberglass works posted online and not being able to do basic projects. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

David Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 the reason it is so wavy is becuase of how wavy the tape is. you should use some kind of clothe and stretch it, it would look much better and be less work. Quote
Noobtastic14 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 Personally i am in the EPIC FAIL category for cloth. i have never to this date successfully glassed over stretched cloth and am not sure why. Although i agree- and like the look and smoothness of the cloth the tape has gotten me better results as of now. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

David Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 its trail and error bro, just keep trying, hell even the zen master timmay had a failure in the kenwood honda prelude thread. I personally would strech the material, then glass the insides and this way you only need some skim coats of mudd on the outside of the pod to make them ready for finish Quote

I dont care who says it, No ones first (sometimes, second or third even) project came out the way they invisioned it. Keep at it and youll get the hang of it.

emperorjj1 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 X5kw sadly i have never done or wanted to attempt to do fiberglass. Ive seen it done online... read as many how to's ar u can think of and seen my friend/coworker do his magic quite a few times. My own personal vehicle involves pretty intense crap so id rather pay for it to be done badass then fuck it up myself. Mind you In terms of building anything im at step one. I can install alot of shit but cant build a damn thing Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer
