this is turning out beautiful, you going to make a recessed square in the center for the amp(s)? also if you do id put plexi over it and blacklight it

 

yep thats exactly what im doing. the part with no fleece will be where the amps go and will be cover with frosted plexi and backlight blue. also where the seatbelt goes is a recessed panel where a frosted piece of plexi that says mopar will go and be backlite with blue leds. Also around the seatbelt hole and frosted plexi will be custom billit aluminum trim.

 

so today i got all the fleece done and started pouring resin. I only got one side done with the resin that i had.

 

looking sweet man, cant wait to see it all finished. what kind of subs are you putting into it?

 

You have made every single cab owners dream. When i was all into having a system this is what i dreamed! Keep it up cant wait for more pics

 

i was planning on going with 2 alpine type r 10's but havent set it in stone yet.

thanks man.

 

nice, that will bump pretty hard for sure. cant wait to see it all done man, you're doing a great job

 

well i got some more resin today a gallon. So i got the other side covered in resin and started to glass the first side. Glassing went pretty smooth not to hard to do. i found out i need to use a little less hardner and also work with smaller batches of resin. when i first started with the fiberglass i mixed 16oz of resin and by the time i got to the last 40oz it started gelling up on me. so from there on out i made it in 8oz batches. The only issue i had with the glass was i kept getting some airbubbles and cant figure out how to stop getting them. Should i sand down the airrbubbles before i start the next layer? Also i am using fiberglass mat but i also have a fiberglass cloth which is smoother than the mat. Can i use the cloth also or just the mat?




air bubbles

 

You should always have a roller to roll and push air pockets out.

Also, coat the MDF is resin also. Not a lot but just a single coat to "seal" it.

 

ready to trade trucks yet?
