well i have been busy as hell but i managed to get some work done. i cut out the flushmount baffle for the sub a few days ago and attached it to the frame. then it got wrapped in the brightest pink fleece i could find //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif jk its the largest piece i had. anyhow, i then resined it and let it cure. just moments ago i did a layer of matte on the top. there will be three layers to follow asap. during this time the top will be sanded/bondoed/sanded...etc....then painted black.

more pics soon..

Wtf, did you glass the tire well, and that is the trunk, with the pic taken sideways

I'm trying to figure this out, playing mind games with me!

lol sorry mang. i just had the mount baffle in the sheet of 3/4....thats why it looks weird. it got cut out shortly after. it is a pita to cut 1.75" of mdf with a jigsaw that doesnt reach that far. haha i had to chisel off some of the bottom. anyhow i have nothing to do tonight since im going out the next two nights since its my 18th birthday(drinking age here). sooooo im going to get the first layer of bondo on. and yes...pics will be loaded in less than 10 minutes. i gotta showa first lol....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

the pics will clear up any missdirection in whats going on. and you will see how secksi its gonna look. atleast i think so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

its just sitting on the bolts in those pics. it will sit about 1.5" lower. looking back i would have made the outer sub ring thiner but i like it the way it is. its different...and well it just looks sweet imo

Coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see the finished pics. Need to find an application and some subs to start doing some fiberglass work of my own.

Anything else going in the car? amps? comps? where is the sub amp going to mount? Just getting anxious to see the finished pics lol.
