tejcurrent Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I predrilled and sanded for the port bolts. 5/16 stainless fasteners test fit I finished painting the port, then a thin first coat on the entire thing to smooth it out. Also put a first coat of white inside the box tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tejcurrent Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Thanks, I tried the lettering the way I wanted to do it and just wasn't happy. I believe I'll be doing things a different way or not at all on the logo portion of the box. I'm not doing raised lettering, so it's really a matter of embroidered or slapping a vinyl on. Any thoughts or suggestions? tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejcurrent Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I had an hour or so to work on this yesterday, I cut the sub holes and did some more 45s. I believe I'll get the wood work and painting done today so things can setup overnight and I'll just have to wire and vinyl tomorrow. tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejcurrent Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 If all goes well vids tomorrow. I have a super busy schedule but the only things left to do are sand the inside of the box, add a last coat of paint, and vinyl. Then slap it in and wire it up. If no one cares to see a vid I'll just let this thread die. Bolt holes drilled for wiring Finished 45s in all the corners Started the bracing The 3rd layer- the interior layer- of the bracing area is drilled out with a 1.5" spade bit Then the outer 2 layers are drilled with a 2.5" hole saw to allow counter sinking. Cupping my nuts before chopping my rod down some. Test fit a sub, there's a little play but it will be taken up by the vinyl. a few coats of poly to smooth things out. It'll be sanded smooth and painted tomorrow. tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tejcurrent Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I sanded down the interior and sprayed on a coat of satin white, I didn't really want gloss with this so aside from hitting it with a second coat I'm liking it. Siliconed when installing the bracing And the start of the vinyl I ran out of adhesive but this is how it sits till I spray on more coat of white and finish the vinyl. I wish I had more than an hour or so at a time so I could just throw this in my truck, but we'll see tomorrow. Port looks like crap till I get the adhesive but it's almost there. *I noticed the pics really make the port look tinted compared to the box. I used the same sort of coating as you would on hard wood floors over the paint. I'm using the port for storage and I'd rather have the color a hair off than have scratched paint after a few days. tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
