[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8808143, member: 656095"] Not much to show today. I am having a hell of a time with the fiberglass resin I am using. It is taking hours to cure. I think I might need an immersion attachment on my drill. I am using the right amount of catalyst vs. resin and the proper stirring times but it is still taking forever. I wish I had more pictures to show but we will have to wait until tomorrow. I didn't take many due to my aggravation. You can see from these photos that I am making the fiberglass frames a bit larger to accomadate the size of the AMT's. They are around 8" tall. When they cure I will layup a few more layers to make the piece rigid and add some milkshake to stregthen them. (Resin-body filler mix). Not going to lie this has been the most frustrating part of the build so far. From design to execution. The end should be supremely satisfying. "We hope" [ATTACH type="full"]42221[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]42222[/ATTACH] I meant to post these when I put up shots of the baffle. It is of the attaching hardware on the rear of the baffle. Lockwasher, fender washer (Larger O.D.) and nut. I spent a good amount of time the last couple days researching anodized hardware and accent washers; which is totally a thing by the way. So I may change the hardware down the road a piece to switch it up. [ATTACH type="full"]42223[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]42224[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
