Dante's First Time Fiberglassing *WorkLog*

[danteBirosel 5,000+ posts]

First off, i spent alot of money on the tools and materials on fiberglassing. I didn't know i would need to spend so much. Bought me a body saw and die grinder. Bought all my other equipment at homedepot and went to walmart for the thin polyester.

The only time i delt with fiberglass was in autobody, and that was only a couple hands on projects. Having this be my first time fiberglass project i was really excited and did not know where to start first, so i chose the Kickpanels.

I will be placing my 6.5" Boston Acoustic FS-60 comp set. Will sorta be imaged right to the ears of myself and the passenger.

Here is what i have done so far with the first right passenger kickpanel.

make sure you roundover the flush mount on the kicks or they will look retarded when you stretch the fleece.

Very nice , make sure you drill your mounting holes before you get to far along. You can glue some washers on both sides of the mounting holes for strength. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so how much did it cost you to start glassing. Grand total including everything?

I was consider learning it for my amp racks. But I think i may go conventional and just use 1/2" MDF for now.

My estimates are already at $200 in tools and materials if I wanted to start fiberglassing. Probably more
