pstone11 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 I started working on a nice, curvy door panel setup, then realized that something like that has no place in a truck like this where everything is a right angle.. Shitcanned that idea and decided to just make new, slightly larger map pockets for the door. Pretty much sealed up little boxes with a fiberglass top for a little curve, and glassed into the doors. As you can see towards the end, the truck's interior is making a gradual change to gray.. Made a front and back.. Had to cut the center of the back out so the magnets would clear, and doing that made the new pocket 1/2" shallower too.. Found an old piece of some kind of cloth under the workbench, figured that was as good as anything to glass the top in.. That dried up, on to the mat/chop. Looks like I spaced on pics from there to here.... boring.... lots of mat, took a belt sander to the excess cloth on the outside, cleaned it up a bit. Picked up some body filler from NAPA, figured I'd give something dfferent a shot since evercoat products are INSANELY over-priced in town.... I really like it, easy to sand, fairly cheap, all around good stuff, much better than regular bondo. Check out StoneSounds to see my recent builds.Or look at the Flying White Facebook Page!
pstone11 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Posted January 4, 2008 went ahead and drilled the doors, scuffed both sides so the glass would be happier. Glassed the inside of the box to the front , made sure it was strong and sealed up really nice... no pics of that.. oops. Made up some Pepto cocktail to help out with the contour, went ahead and got it all filled, and a good transition to the factory panel.. Sanded, primed, textured, painted, flecked a little, installed... Cleaned them up after these pics... little overspray, scrapes..etc.. Matches the X-over console, and the seats.. Starting the transition to a blue/gray interior. Looks alright... really fits in with the rest of the truck.. Sounds beautiful!!!!!!
