New Audio/Video Project
 

i have a bunch of new toys for my new audio setup

-2 1242 subs
- dual 12 box (sealed)
- 7.2" lcd screen
-Sony headunit with mp3 and all the little gadgets
-Dvd player seperate from cd hu

everything will be fiberglassed in

taking pieces out to paint


my dash now, that cd player will go down below, and the 7.2lcd will take its place.

top of the pic will be the dvd player fiberglassed into the ceiling carpet

thats where i will put the dvd player, i was going to put the lcd there, but to big, i cant use my rearview mirror



oops cant forget these new ones, i will clean it up later, but w/e it hits

ok i have some work over the past view days, i took quick shots of the process, but i skipped a few, seeine thati was in a rush to get everything on before the resins hardened. Let me know what you think. Theres also pics of the new red pieces in, ac/vent circle, floor pieces on passenger and driver side door. its coming along slowly, a lot of sanding. :x
EDIT: dont worry about the carpet, it will be black when im done and the fiberglass is red and clear coated

Car pics After Painting:

I like how your putting everything in!

really lookin forward to the dvd player install being done. Original.

Cute fabric! haha.

Not a fan of all the red painted interior tho.

some was already there so i had to match it. i kinda like it

OK got some good work done today, its comin along good so far. i put it in today primed to see fitting, fits very nice! it looks bigger cause i took an angle shot of it. i cant wait to finish it. I will wrap the mat in black Vinyl, i was thinking flames or something, but its to hard. This will be the same vinyl for the read deck. I also painted more plastic pieces that turned out better then i thought, also put in a red neon in the trunk :twisted:

heres my neon, only comes on when my amp is on, looks very nice. I also painted pieces around the taillights against the farme. They look REALLY good. it turned out good.







Random Shots:

the dvd player came out good but i think the screen should of been a fold down in that spot. But I can't fiberglass! You should find a way to hide the neon tube a little bit better. but A+ on the dvd player installation and i can't wait to see the new head unit all fiberglassed in.

thanks for the comments!

yea the fit was good, i HATE flip downs in any coupe/sedan, makes it look ugly, i love in-dash, plus i was going to put the indash there, but my mirror would then look funny, but if i had the screen down it would be to busy around my face.

the neon tube is gonna be covered, as i stated im not yet done :) i cant wait to work on the trunk. i will cut a piece of mdf wood carpeted it to attach to the sub box, it will basically be a wall. the amp will go on the back of the wall where the fold down seats are. the tube will have a glass case for it to shine down, then a frosted side for the part facing out the trunk

That sounds like it's going to look great after! Can't wait to see the finishing pics.

I wish i had that much trunk space. i can barely fit anything in my trunk, god damn box! I have those same subs though(the design, idk what kind u have).

About the thing that holds the cd player in, it looks too big, but maybe its just me, idk. but you are doing some nice work man, keep it up:coolio:

you mean the dvd player? my cd player will be where my hvac is, and that will be pushed down! and the lcd screen will take the cd players spot

oh yea thats what i meant. when do u expect to have this done?

my lcd comes tomorrow, and i will also buy vinyl tomorrow. and try and finish this weekend, but the paint time for curing will take a bit. next week i will start on my dash fitting. should finish in a week(thats with a good weekend) then my front bumber will be next, i am cutting out the middle bar and making it square, then making custom mesh for my open "square" and my grills (should look meaner). fourth project is trunk. thats if i have money. Then between all of this, ill get some leather seat covers. last project will be ,my rear deck. it ill be black vinyl with fiberglassed 6x9, or componet facing toward you. A LOT of work!!

1.finish dvd install
2. dash lcd and cd HU
3. Bumber cutting/ custom mesh
4. trunk done!
5. rear dash

haha yea dude, work never ends on cars. Cause then you find something else u like and wanna do that too. Im not even gonna try and list what i still want to do. I have my exhaust coming, so thats next. Even though its a lot of work, in the end you get to enjoy it and you get see all the work you did yourself. But sounds like you have some good plans.

if there ever is an end, then ill hit up some more meets, maybe try and get some buisness fiberglassing, idk, u learn every install. this car was turboed once, now its just a show car now, lol. i just want something diff and something i can respect. thats what its about. so maybe this will be my frist step into the fiberglassing/custom field :)

yea man, you can make some good money:coolio:

Yeah maybe i can start fiberglassing or teach myself. But then again if i can't paint i don't think i would be much better at this stuff.

haha yea might not wanna try;)

haha, way to shoot her visions into the ground. try it once on something small that can be replaced easy. thats how i learned. and if you want to get into it everything you need is at

EDITED!!!

ummm I'm a girl! or a gay guy who really like pink!

lolFLAMER;) is it me or is everyone funny today? haha

srry my bad, these days you just dont know, my friend (a guy) wants pink/purple neons. srry bout that!

lol let ur friend know he's a homo! But i'm a girl you can click on my s/n and see that on my profile. But that's ok a lot of us girls on here are called guys all the time.

lol for some reason i had to look, i believed you but just had to double check i guess. HA

lol well atleast you know now! hehe

im gonna pick up some vinyl after i get out of class and layer it on the matting after my fiberglass is done drying. this wont be till late, i still have to paint and clear coat today.

looks can be decieving, there is really only one way to tell for sure you're a girl....

meet in person :)lol

OK UPDATE BABY! i got one of my lcd screens in today so i deceided to start on the dash. in order from top to bottom, it will be lcd, cd player, then my hvac buttons. should look nice in the end, i wont have a cubby anymore so it should like really nice. I hooked everything up also, everything is going together better then i thought, works perfectly and the lcd screen is amazing. I dont knwo what to do with the 7.2 i ordered too. i can still hook it up to my dvd HU(extra AV output) so give me some ideas, maybe somewhere in the back?

heres the pictures of the wiring and 2 layers of glassing. No body filler yet!




Messy Car!

You can see where the wires come out of the back of my dvd player, im so sneaky :)


Like it so far?

Looking good!!!

thanks, this should be done soon, i just decieded im going to angle the cd player up a bit so that its easier to read and put in cds. makes a lot more sense in person, if you can see my shift knob, its HUGE!

looks like the project is moving along very well

everything looks nice. You obviously got some skill with fiberglass, you should show some of that off in the trunk.

i might, not sure yet, im thinking about using my second 7.2 in on the trunk lid and then put two 6.5 speakers on either side, both fiberglassed in. if i do that, it will b mush later

all that for pyle, boss and sony for shamez

i can switch, this is just to show i can fiberglass. :) i already have jobs lined up for people that just want some simple stuff done.
