sealed fiberglass doors

Well, if you can do it, I can glass my doors too ...lol.

I've been wanting to, but put it off..maybe I'll try working on some sails!

Probably was asked already but how much resin will you use for both doors?

as stated before a boat repair store but i dont think there are any over here.. homedepot and lowes sell em for 29-31 per gallon last time i checked. Bondo is pretty cheap atleast. If i had a good sander and cutting tools id love to do this project..

Being that i dont shell out just 100$ on materials =/

Ive never knew any good ways to mount glassed object to the car though.. besides bolts but sometimes that doesn't always work.

i used about 1/2-3/4 gal for both doors. they are strong enough that i could lay the panel down and stand on the ring. i only use the air sander on initial sanding, all the rest is hand sanded. carquest wants like $35 a quart. stay away from car stores for the resin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

wow i thought it would have been atleast 2 gallons..

how many layers do you have? 2-3?\

carquest = ghey

wish i had an air sander but they require to high cfm and small compressors cant handle that from what i understand.

2 layers on the 'curvy' parts, and 3-4 on the 'flat' parts. i also have about 1/2 gal of kittyhair on the drivers door, and the rest of the gallon left for the pass door. i don't know what they need...i just know at the shop we have a 500 gal tank @ 175psi //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif i can do whatever i want //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

now that i think about it. (i forgot about the inside of the door) i think i used a little over a gall. maybe 1 1/4 gal

500 gal tank at 175psi?

i didnt know they get that big... dude if that got punctured, you would have one hell of a rocket!

hey jellyfish, i see you posted your car is a 94. i have a 89 grand prix that is a junker with all the interrior pannels in good shape. was wondering if you might be interrested in some parts if they will interchange. looks like they would. email me at jmrundles@hotmail.com with any questions or interrests.

well i got the pass side door in. its not primered, or even sanded all the way for that matter, as my 18 came in today, and this project is going to the back burner. the silverado tweet is temp till i run my other wires and install my seas tweets. and my poor re 6.5 met the screwdriver //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif i'm glad these were just temp till i bought my 7's that i designed the door around. look forward to my 18 box build in the near future //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
