sealed fiberglass doors

if this is your first glass job...def get some junkyard panels. there is no way i could of done this on my first job. in fact, my first glass job looked like crap! i might do my rear deck in the future as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif the real prob is the torsion bar setup in there they use to hold the trunk open. i still don't know how i'd do it though(the deck) cause i wanna put my subs there, but i don't know how i'd do the box..... but if your just doing the deck for some little speakers that don't require a box, or ib(which i may do) i would bolt it down, either a bolt in the mold that i could put a nut on from in the trunk. or vise versa nut in the mold. i painted the dash w/ 2 stage car paint. i had some left over from when i painted the door. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i have a da, and tons of paper, plus i hit it w/ the roloc discs first...sanding doesn't even bother me

as for the rest of the interior. my next project(before the rear deck) is get bucket seats up front, and glass a center console. i'm moving the radio between the seats...but mainly i'm doing this because i'm tired of not having a d@mn cupholder!!!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif you know how many sodas i end up wearing! then the deck, and probably alot more i just ain't thought of yet.i was thinking of doing an engine cover...

Well I cant really glass a center console cause my gear selctor is right down the middle, I could redo it to make it look better but so-far as adding gadgets thats outta the question for me, what price for materials would i be looking at to glass the door panels

 

[jellyfish420 10+ year member]

you got the 2 door? mines a 4 door...my gear selector is on the column. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif well my materials were cheap. i have plently of leftovers from my boss's kids' truck http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=242796

but i'd say ~1/2-3/4 gal resin ($21/gal from boat repair shop up the road) 3-4 yrd mat ($3/yrd) kitty hair ($25/gal my cost from the shop i work at //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif ) lots of time doing it + blood sweat and tears (priceless)

i'm also gonna glass the bottom half of the back doors. not putting anything in them, just glassing them/painting them to match the front doors.

[DDSC 10+ year member]

I would do it the same as the dash he painted

i'm actually repainting the dash when i do the doors. i'm doing everything the new chevy color, its almost the same color, but brighter.

here's what it looks like today. almost done w/ the bondo. i'm having a little trouble getting it smooth under the handle, and where the glassed part meets the top part. hopefully i'll have it taken care of, and primered tommorow.
