About to try my hand at fiberglass.
 

Removed my back seats and back rest. Now I"m going to make fiber glass cover that starts at the floor and goes up to thhe height of the drive shaft over and then run it all the back to the gas tank. This will cover where the back seats where and I will then have a place to build my new subwoofer box and I will also have a place to remount my amps. So can anyone offer any tips or any item that could help me out with this? :confused:

that's alot of fiberglass... Havent done much with fiberglass, so I can't offer up too much advice, but I do wish you good luck, sounds like a hell of a job...

Is it just going to be a base for your new box and amps? if so, why not make it out of wood and carpet it over to match your car?

fiberglassing's easy man. Use wood and make a frame for what you're trying to do, wrap it in cloth (fleece or nylon usually works well) and then do a coat of resin on it so the nylon/fleece/cloth stiffens real hard like starch on steroids. Then you can start adding layers of fiberglass on it.

Fiber glass is easier to mold and it is lighter. And yes I will be using this as a base for my sub box.

use a wood frame you'll be happier, glass isn't that light when you make it thick enough to support weight. take some t shirt or long underwear material staple it to your frame work cover with resin, let harden, take fiberglass matt and wet with resin then lay on the other material to build it to about a half inch thickness minimum, let dry sand to rough up, take some bondo mix a dab of resin add hardener apply liberaly, sand smooth reapply as needed, paint. Any questions?

hope it goes well.. never worked with fiberglass, so I'm no help.

Same here...

Yeah, exactly like that. :p

yea never used fiberglass, my buddies shop does thoe, it looks better then the wood n carpet... so good luck

Hye guy I was wondeirng is their any sort of type/brand of resin, bondo and fiber glass you recommend? I have figured out I'm just going use speaker grille to wrap my frame in.

i've heard something called evercoat/everclear or something is good.

evercoat is great stuff, that's what we used at the body shop, bondo glass is garbage best left for the redneck with no teeth and a mullet

hey shove it man lol I used bondo brand just because it's available here. For my application it works fine.

should have let me know there's a place not far from you with the good stuff
