I see alot of people with really high hopes when starting a fiberglass project for the first time. Have their hopes dashed to bits when it doesn't come out quite perfect. what you guys got to realize is nobody is born with a can of resin in one hand, and some mat in the other. QUOTE]

my first fiberglass expierence went fine =)

i think im gonna make a ported one though. i can make it much bigger if i go toward the seats a little more... i think ill expierment with MDF to get the port size\volume correct first. i really expected alot more from 1 RE SE 10" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/chix.gif.b7a2c3844cd4b49b8430443da768250e.gif but i suppose it IS just a 10 =D

anywho, im planning on gettin some CDTs (5.25\6.5) for my car soon, i got $700 in my pocket (sold 2 old 10's and a RF 301m to a buddy.. 175w x 2 in bandpass boxes) and 2 paychecks. im looking to get a CDA deck as well....

so kick panels are in the near future (1-2 weeks?) i gotta get some more supplies though. i bought all the fiberglass that pepboys had //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif + 1 gallon of resin and 2 tubes of MKEP.

anyone else got any pictures?

The days of the sheep dog. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I had a couple of those, particularly when I tried using a chopped mat gun for the first time. I looked like I got into a fight with Mario and Luigi. I had strands of resined mat, stuck in places I didn't think it was possible to get to standing up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
