Driver Side Kick pod worklog + Random pics.

Started making the final pod for my car tonight, so I decided to make it a worklog... I also took a bunch of pictures of work I'm in the middle of. Comments welcome.

6.5 I'll be installing, sitting on my dusty-*** roof

Only trouble I've run into doing this (happened before too) is that the **** spray glue dissolves in the resin and you have to act fast and be lucky not to get sags in your fleece. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Using 3M spray adhesive, but I'm not letting it sit and cure I guess. Could that be it?

As for the rest of the random pics, here u go:

Car sitting in the garage:

Shot of the rear shelf I made for it a few weeks ago:

Some shots of my half-finished trunk install

Massive hole in the trunk floor that used to be a spare tire well:

Fiberglass Sub tub that goes in the massive hole (obviously unfinished)

Temporary Baffle I made for the sub (will be 3/4" plexi when I figure out how to cut it

Hmm...this is a different method than what im used to....

 

[Cam 10+ year member]

what is your method? I learned this one by doing lots of internet searches, so if there's another one I'm really interested.

I just went and peeled it out of the car... will have to work on it more tomorrow, cuz I'm starting to get dirty looks from the ol' lady (It's late and she needs some TLC)

O, and the sub that'll be goin in the trunk.

On a side note, the stank drippage you see on my amp is from the small bit of peel'n'seal that I didn't get around to removing from the car before I started this install. (Sometime ago I chipped out all the tar-based sh!t and redid everything with quietcoat.)

With the minor weight of the new rear shelf sitting on the peel'n'seal, along with the hot sun, the stank-*** rubberized tar material is oozing through a hole in the metal rear shelf and dripping on my amp. One of these days I'll have to get in there and freeze the peel'n'seal off, but for now, she drips.

i like the spotted padding in the trunk

 

[Cam 10+ year member]

yeah, that's carpet underlay I put down so I wouldn't bung up the quietcoat with luggage and tools and crap... eventually I'll carpet, but as long as I'm working on it and tar still drips from the rear deck, the underlay stays

yea i have the same shit under my carpet(as most do i would think) and some other insulation too. i ran some 1/0 down the middle in my 98 silverado recently and shit! i was itchin for days

So, instead of laying mat down overtop of the layer of tape, you just 3M glued a piece of fabric to it and then resin'd it? Sounds much easier...any other pros/cons to that way?
