[QUOTE="Hybrids-M3, post: 8070868, member: 607905"] Time for some trunk panel action. I am creating the rough shape of my panels. I try to get them close, but I don't go overboard making sure they fit absolutely perfect--you'll see why in a minute. [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1262.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1263.jpg[/IMG] The two panels on either side of the amp rack serve as the platforms on which the finished panels will sit. [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1264.jpg[/IMG] Here is the left side panel in place. Once again, good but not perfect gaps. [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1266.jpg[/IMG] Here, I am getting the curve for the center panel. You may do it a different way, but this is how I get my curved surfaces. A pass with the flush cut bit and there you go! [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1267.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1268.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1269.jpg[/IMG] All three bottom panels in place [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1271.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/davyhay/2013%20Jetta%20rebuild/IMG_1272.jpg[/IMG] One thing people tend to overlook when doing builds like this is material thickness. Everything goes in great before covering, then not so great afterwards. Here, I am using a piece of aluminum stock to gap my panels.
