- 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

DanM7890 · 11-08-2006, 01:33 PM

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

Cute fabric! haha.

Not a fan of all the red painted interior tho.

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:

DanM7890 · 11-08-2006, 09:46 PM

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:

DanM7890 · 11-08-2006, 09:45 PM

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

p1mptress · 11-08-2006, 09:56 PM

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.

DanM7890 · 11-08-2006, 10:02 PM

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

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

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

billytheman1188 · 11-08-2006, 10:14 PM

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

p1mptress · 11-08-2006, 10:06 PM

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

DanM7890 · 11-08-2006, 10:21 PM

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.

DanM7890 · 11-08-2006, 10:28 PM

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

billytheman1188 · 11-08-2006, 10:35 PM

yea man, you can make some good money
