The do's and dont''s of my first wall....it seems like something isn't right....

[ferguson621]

Absolutely hispls! I agree 100% lol....But chrysler's I've found out are the worst so far. Atleast with my experiences lol. Right! It's been awhile. But so worth it. I can't wait to actually be able to play with them and try to make them louder than what they are at the moment. And yes I've been working on sealing everything up. It seems like I've done a good job so far. But like I said, I've only been able to hear it for brief moments at a time. Shi tty.....I really hope I can figure out my transmission though.

Tell me what you guys think so far....I thought it would be really cool and unique to have the comic strips everywhere like that. I've never seen anyone do something like that. I know some will love it and others will hate it. But it's all good. I like it alot. Obviously I'm not done. I still have a fair amount to get done. Oh and I also painted the inside of the port with some high gloss black paint.

Oh and papermaker, I honestly could care less if you thread jacked or not lol. I was saying that in a good hearted jokingly way. It doesn't bother me at all. It's just a thread lol.

I'd be happy to show you how to wall cleanly all you gotta do is let me hold onto the psi 18s and taramps and I'll walk my trailblazer teasing ya man. Happy it's coming along for you and your getting there. Like I said pages ago. If you feel to the point working on it your getting too mad just go watch a movie with the girl and take a break for a few. This is a hobby and should be fun don't let it consume you. My door pods had me ready to throw them away and just go back to stock lol. @thecamry can tell you all about having patience on big projects. Jason's just loooooving sanding till his fingers are numb lmao

Here's a good quote I saw "making mistakes does not mean your a failure,it just means your trying and learning in life"

But yeah man. Good luck and happy to see your getting there. And from this point out you'll only get better next time. Good luck with the rest man. Happy for you. Came a long was from going Jack the Ripper with a circle saw on that poor box lol

Comic pages look OK. Not my style, but if you like it it's all good and I'd definitely do inside the port, that just looks ugly raw. It's a shame you didn't do the outside layer in MDF or something really smooth so they wouldn't look so rough.

You've still got work to do sealing off that front flat to the edge. Get cracking on that, it'll pay off in results.

 

[ferguson621]

I completely agree hispls lol. I'm going to take your advice and add a layer of mdf. One so it's smooth like you said, and two so I can seal up the sides and top now that I have the rest of it done. I still need to add a coat of black paint on the little side windows so you can't see the wood and batteries. Oh and I have to paint the back window also. And I secured the bottom to the floor using I think 6 inch bolts. I forgot the diameter, but it's about the same diameter as a piece of 1/0 wire with washers on both sides. I will update tomorrow with some more pictures.

Ok so I've been thinking about a 4th order. It seems like they have alot more potential than what they're showing me at the moment. Could I do a 4th order? Or do they require alot more space? I've never built one before. That's why I ask. Maybe it's because I haven't really been able to play them since I haven't been able to drive my car lol.....Oh and another update..I just did a transmission swap two weeks ago. That ***** started leaking and I ended up burning the 2/4 clutch out. So I picked up another transmission two days ago. So now I'm in the middle of doing another transmission swap. Third engine, fourth transmission.....I truly hate chrysler's with a passion lol.
