Another coat of fiberglass & resin went on the enclosure today. ill have pics up tomorrow. Hopefully by the end of the week our duraglass will arrive so we can begin the shaping portion of the install. for those who dont know, duraglass is a mixture of fiberglass & bondo. it has the consistency of thick mud & works great in situations like theese. pics to come.

Fred = sick.

Can't wait to see THIS one aswell.

Interior is staying the same though correct??

WKderF · 11-01-2006, 02:46 AM

incorrect. As you may be able to tell from my for sale threads: I am changing up the interior as well. soon in place will be a new pair of reclinable racing seats and custom upholstered rear seats & door cards to match. already in place is a sparco harness bar with 3 inch blue sparco harnesses, as well as a sparco steering wheel with quick release. I have a few Pioneer monitors that have to get worked into the interior somehow, but i cant find a place for them yet. here are a few pics of the interior:

I just found a few pics of my old audio /video setup. This setup lasted about 6 months or so. I was happy to keep it but I was awarded a full sponsorship with JL audio so EVERY piece of the old system had to go.

EvlEgl · 11-01-2006, 02:55 AM

Balllllinn!

joe tom · 11-01-2006, 10:38 AM

very impressed fred, keep us updated with new setup!

WKderF · 11-08-2006, 12:38 AM

Well after a long wait, Our Duraglass finally showed up. Duraglass is a mixture of bondo & fiberglass & is great for the first coat over the fiberglass structure to give the bondo something to grab onto as well as the initial sanding layer. So today we gave the enclosure a rough sanding. tomorrow starts the painfull process of bondo - sand - bondo - sand, etc. . .

Pics to follow tomorrow.

MuddyREX · 11-28-2006, 09:49 AM

Sooooo, update?

WKderF · 11-28-2006, 09:29 PM

update:

Well since the holidays are rapidly approaching, work on my car has meen moved to the back burner so to speak. work on the enclosure continues at a slow, but steady pace. below are pictures of the enclosure with its first of many coats of bondo.

WKderF · 11-28-2006, 09:31 PM

and as a sidenote:

ive ordered up a set of Recaro speed seats for the front, and im working on new exterior modifications. im looking into new wheels for the coming spring, and I am really looking forward to coming out of the winter months with a fresh & great looking daily driver.
