michigancapri92 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 im thinking i will do the bondo ... the pod right now is pretty strong but i think bondo will add more strength and then i might just sand smooth and paint pos. ill try the vinyl first Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type RF Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Next time try building up with fiberglass from the inside and then light bondo the outside. makes for less sanding. Those are looking sweet though, good job.

michigancapri92 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) thanks it was my first time didnt really know what i was doing lol finished my doors will have 2x 6.5 orion components ... im sporting all orion speakers and Rockford amps going with the underdog speakers does bondo create a smell like fiberglass resin does ??? i had no idea the resin had such a strong sell and my house smelled for a couple days ... >.< when i did the last layer outside i think thats what make id not smooth because from the cold the resin got clumpy rather quick ...

michigancapri92 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 ok so i put speaker in to see how it sounded and i have alot of little holes to fill at the edges no big deal but also the pod sounds very resonant i think that's the right word ... like the pod needs to be more dense ... how can i do that ? would the bondo help that and would filling pod with poli fill remedy that along with little more bass from poli fill ?

skittlesRgood Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 ok so i put speaker in to see how it sounded and i have alot of little holes to fill at the edges no big deal but also the pod sounds very resonant i think that's the right word ... like the pod needs to be more dense ... how can i do that ? would the bondo help that and would filling pod with poli fill remedy that along with little more bass from poli fill ? body filler is made to smooth a surface, not to be caked on. you spread it on as thin as possible and sand it smooth. pods should be built like bricks to stop that resonance. you can get fiberglass reinforced body filler and just smear it around inside the pod. to seal the holes, if they are small, you could just use resin and pour it inside the pod. as for the vinyl, some types are stretchier than others. but its all about how you pull. my 1st time went pretty bad lol. i had to watch someone do it. start in the middle and work your way out. you can come back to some wrinkles. get one curve close then move back and re-stretch the wrinkles. dont worry about pulling too hard. leave a lot of extra material for you to pull on, dont just cut it to length. hope that helps.

michigancapri92 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) thanks i guess i will be adding a couple more layers of fiberglass to make everything rock solid and fill in all the holes. i will be just sanding super smooth and painting no vinyl.
