groundpounder2k2 Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 well being the picture whore that I am,and feeding of of the compliments from you guys.....Here are some more pix... I started out by throwin down some plastic to protect my (still mint) 18 year old carpet.. as with most of the stuff i build,I really didnt have a set plan.I knew I wanted to start with a foundation mold of the floor though... After it cured,I took it back out of the car for some trimming... My MainMan,My lil Man,Dude,Bubb....My son Memphis @ 3years OldShow'em that car son..........

groundpounder2k2 Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Now pay attention to whats going on here Because this is one of the pieces Im most proud of,yet nobody ever seems to notice the crazyness that went into this piece... For the upper section of the console,I salvaged the upper portion of the stock console... (where the radio/HVAC controls and part of the ashtray go) Here is the top section of the stock console.(heater controls and radio location)..Being chopped up. The front panel cut down and taped in position.Notice the flange (where the ashtry was).this flange was left there for a reason. I made a bottom for this section from a peice of 3/8.. particle board That little flange where the ash tray was ,,,will now get glassed in.This will make a lip which holds the bottom in place.The top is secured by the stock clips. :^ My MainMan,My lil Man,Dude,Bubb....My son Memphis @ 3years OldShow'em that car son..........

groundpounder2k2 Posted October 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I've been told to NOT fiberglass to plastic because it doesn't adhere. I've always made a whole piece and discarded any part that was plastic (real pain in the ass sometimes) Do you have any problems with the fiberglass seperating from the plastic?it depends really.if the back side is accessable ,what I do is....drill holes for the resin to get through,then i put a couple layers of matt on the back side and the front,,,,this sandwitches the plastic between the 2 layers of glass,seems to work good...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
