[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8806872, member: 656095"] So they say prep is everything... I started work on the "A" pillars today. Blue tape and aluminum foil for everybody. My goal today was to make a template out of fiberglass for all three of the drivers that would mount to the pillar itself. The resin I used took ages to cure despite me adding the proper catalyst by weight. 80 drops/8 oz! I used some chop matte to build up a small section of the A pillar. These are three layers thick. These look like ass now but I just have to trust the process. The plan is to make them larger so I can cut them back and give them a favorable contour that flows with the dash. It has been over 10 yrs since I have worked with resin and it clearly shows. I [I]learned [/I]and [I]remembered[/I] a bunch today. I do like posting my ugly ducklings. I don't get off on it or anything it's just a nice juxtaposition when they are completed. The "Then" and "Now" type stuff. [ATTACH type="full"]42062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]42063[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]42065[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]42064[/ATTACH] I'm high as a kite RN so this isn't my usual post so I will come back tomorrow with more photos and you will begin to see the direction in which all this madness is leading. This week has been super weird. [/QUOTE]
