Why didnt you fiberglass over the holes you made for the bracing and the gas tank neck ?

It wouldve looked a lot nicer than just having that big chunk cut out.

So you guys who have experience with fiberglassing, Do you think i should do fleece over the panel or just put another layer of just resin down then body filler and start sanding or do you think the fleece is a better idea?

Are you just rebuilding the kick panels themselves with no speakers ? If so , there really is no reason to use fleece . If you want to strengthen them a little more just add another layer of mat and then start with the filler . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well then , I would have gone a completely different route . I would have made a floor mold instead of using the factory kicks . But that's beside the point .

Once you get your rings positioned the way you want . Stretch with your mold cloth ( fleece ) then resin . Might need a layer of mat for strength , then filler //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What size drivers are you going to use? Do you plan on mounting the drivers to the panels you just made ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I don't mean physical mounting space . I mean enclosure volume //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
