4 DP21 Wall Build

Thanks, glad to be a motivator. Do you have a build log?

nah man camera problems forced me to kind of go on without making a log. It was either buy another $150 camera and wait another week or so to get all my components ordered, or spend the 150 on installation stuff I needed lol. I'll get some vids up for sure though when its all ready. how long do you think you have till you're ready to shoot some vids? 2 weeks?

It all depends on the weather at this point. I was planning on getting all of the cuts done for the passenger baffle and getting them all glued and screwed. But the rain kinda changed my plans.

Got a lil more done today. Ir started raining so I had to cut under the front porch area.

Got four layers cut, now I need more wood lol.

Test fit.

Inside

Once I get the other two layers on the baffle I'll have to wait until I wax the race trailer. The deal I'm working on is getting the rest of my build funded for waxing it lol.

Got a lil more done today with the fiberglass. I couldn't do much more because it rained all day, like it has been every day pretty much lol.

This side is almost there, really rigid right now. I'm still thinking about filling the area behind it with spray foam.

This side still needs some more layers.

That's all for today, used up about 25'^2 of mat and about a half gallon of resin...More glassing tomorrow, and hopefully a lil cutting if the weather permits lol.

Got the inner part of the baffles done today.

Plenty of room between the seats and mounting surface.

Port dry fit.

Gonna get the port layered up and glues and screwed in tomorrow weather permitting. Gonna leave the inner layer two inches shorter just in case I wanna tune a lil lower later on.

 

[rmzsuzuki89 10+ year member]

Dry fit with both layers of the port in.

Gluing, got a lil carried away lol.

Didn't take pics for a while, but this is where I started taking them again.

Building the top and bottom up.

I was having a lil trouble getting this back in after test fitting. After two light taps with a hammer, this is what I get. It's all glued back together now though lol.

The notch in the port wall just in case I want to tune a lil lower.

I'm thinking about making the 45* a different color than the port and inside of the box, something that will contrast a lot.

Don't you love osprey **** lol.
