There is a noticible differance between the boat building resin and the Bondo brand.Once you work with the good stuff you'll never go back.IMO

Yeah Ive used nice stuff, but I didnt even really plan these out. I bought a sheet of MDF and started cutting. Just kind of winging it. Dont really know how I want them to look.

what are the steps to fiberglassing?

Stretch out the cloth youre going to glass, then soak it with resin. Then lay down some fiberglass mat, then soak that with resin. Keep adding fiberglass mat and resin until its strong enough, then sand and cover/paint.

do you think it would be hard to fiberglass an entire door panel?

and keep us updated on your project I'd like to learn from it!

Check out http://www.fiberglassforums.com. They have tons of tutorials on how to do it.

A friend of mine helped me do some door pannels for my car. Held 2 10s, 2 6s, 1 8, and 3 tweeters. Never finished it though, this was midway through after we wrapped it. PAIN IN THE ***. Doors took forever to do. In the pic the tweeter pods arent finished or on.

Been working on this project last night and for like an hour today. I guess its just little enclosures for whatever... Might use them for my computer. Each holds 2 6.5s and 2 tweeters, and Im building two of them.

remember be careful if its car audio speakers as they aren't shielded and will fuck with your comp

Yeah, my computer is down on the floor. Im going to put my Focals in them for now, but will probably buy whatever is on sale at Partsexpress when the time comes.
