1) decent, just need to fix the bolt holes (after they glasses into place, they tipped a little. drill the holes out and it'll be fine.


2) doh... someone didn't draw his line right. Gotta reglass the end of this one... Gimme a break.. i'm new to this. Whats the best way to fix this? put the dried glass in there, tape off the missed section, and glass it onto the existing?



does it matter if the base is really wavy? I'm going to vinyl over these, so i'm assuming that'll even the base right out.

I also know i still have more sanding/evening to do. they are rather "angled" in some spots.



...and my thickness is horrible. some spots are really thick, then others are kinda thin... i'm definitely not a pro at this.

Its a PITA man.

Heres mine:








We both did this WRONG though. Im going to rebuild mine. Take a look at this pic:


We need to cut away some off the door panel to allow the fiberglass to sink in more. Also pull the speaker back, slightly. To allow room for the glove box...

who said i'm remotely close to done? i still have to make the speaker baffle, get that angled, cover the whole thing in fleece, then glass over that, THEN cover all that in vinyl. You'll never see those bolts, unless you look from the inside...

the bolts go through the holes in the door, then attach a washer and nut to each on the inside. mounts it quite securely.

Ok so like Ryans pic then you must be mounting it to the door panel before you are putting the panel back on the door?

Should look nice when your done.

now that i know where the mount is going to sit (roughly) and how... i'm more then happy to cut some of that inner (useless) plastic out, so i have more speaker room... and can avoid hitting the glovebox.

The thing is, you will have to cut away some of your current glass and reglass a recess into it.

I cut a hole in mine...

Im not even going to bother with it. How it looks now = into the trash and try again. lol
