The Performer Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Lookin excellent man. BTW, what kind of glue did you use to put the fleece on your A-pillars? CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks' Click to see my build!

CUT BUDDY Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 nothing special, just regular aerosal spray glue from Home Depot. Same kind I use on everything. the trick is to spray it and wait about 2 mins before u laydaown ur fleece. See when u first sray that glue, its wet. So u let it dry a lil and get really tacky and sticky first. I think it was about $5 for a 20oz can TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I use that for laying out glass sometimes, spray a thin mist of the glue down then stick the mat to it and it wont move around on you when you come in with resin.I was just thinking you had used CA glue or something for the edges, had me confused.

CUT BUDDY Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 my edges on the pillars came out like shit....I had to do alot of triming on them. i know now to spray a lil on the back and tuck the fleece more around the edges. Couldnt really do it with this mold here because the pillars was a complete cover up and this is a mold. So tommorow I'll trim them down to where I need them to be and then glue my trim rings on. Im off Fri so I'll be able to work on it all day and it will give the glue around the mounts time to dry overnight. I used a screw to mount the plates on the pillars. didnt need much for those even though my 4z are heavier than my stock 5x7s, lol. so be looking for more pix 2morrow a lil after 1pm est time. Trying to keep yall updated if not everyday atleast every other day. TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 still didnt do much today. wainting till Im off work Fri, but I did however trimmed them down with the jigsaw. I still have to knock off about 1/8" off the bottom and sand the edges but for the most part they match up to the original doors like a champ I promise, more pix 2morrow TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted September 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Did alot since I was off work today......on a Friday that shit is like a comet that only comes around every other century, lol. Got the trim rings together for a family portrait Mounted and ready for fleece Spray glued and fleeced up Just some materials. Resin, duraglass short strand bondo, resin and bondo hardener, a cheap but good $1 brush, a orange tray to hold my resin and a cup of acetone to keep my brush clean between jobs. time to get messy, resin mixed with a chunk of bondo......used a lil more hardener this time cause its kinda cool outside today. If it dries before it gets too late I may have some more pix later on this evening of a layer of mat. If not look for more 2morrow TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 got into the last stage which is sanding, I hate sanding. This is what I woke up to today after letting it dry over night trimmed off some of the extra fleece on the back Did a light layer of mat any though it really didnt need it. But due to the location they will be mounted at. They are more prone to being kicked. I did a mix but i had a accident, lol. I mixed too much putty hardner so I had to peel it off before it set. Lol, lets just say the Rock wasnt the only one with something cook'n. Didnt really use as much of a mix, it was more resin this time. And I started sanding on 1. Should have them finished sometime this week. TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.db Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Things are looking good...have done the re-check to see how things are fitting??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUT BUDDY Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Things are looking good...have done the re-check to see how things are fitting???thanx I test fitted it before I started sanding. Fit pretty good but at the top of the back its a small .25" gap between the original door and the mold going horizontally. I'll go around the back of the edges with a foam sealant strip then cover it with vinyl TEAM MechMan Alternators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.db Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 thanx I test fitted it before I started sanding.

I'll go around the back of the edges with a foam sealant strip then cover it with vinylA little trick is to try to leave them on the panel for as long as you can...to prevent warping...but hey a .25 inch aint bad..
