So I decided to build a sub box out of fiberglass because the trunk is too small for pre-made boxes. I'm only 60% done it but I thought I'd post some pics of my progess. After countless hours of labour and a trip to the ER for getting resin in my eye (lol.. the one time I don't wear safety glasses, soo stupid) here's where I'm at:

Here's the frame where everything started

The frame wrapped in resin soaked speaker fabric

IPB Image

Resin / Fleece layer totally dried .. in the trunk just to see how it looks

IPB Image

Inside of the box fiberglassed (pic taken the day after the ER)

IPB Image

Body filler aplied to the box .. it was hot out so I couldn't make it smooth .. now i have A LOT of sanding to do

IPB Image



More pics to come when I'm done some more....

Way too long. I'm never doing this again lol well prob jus not for a long time.

Me being inexperienced with this stuff it took prob 5 days (prob 4-5 hours each day) ... I kinda stetched it out though cuz the process was takin too long .. now i just gotta be motivated to finish!
