so today i got the rings mounted and a top put on to make sure everything was even. I also got all the seams caulked and ready for fleece. So for shits and giggles i threw the fleece over it to get a feel for what it will look like.
well i got some more resin today a gallon. So i got the other side covered in resin and started to glass the first side. Glassing went pretty smooth not to hard to do. i found out i need to use a little less hardner and also work with smaller batches of resin. when i first started with the fiberglass i mixed 16oz of resin and by the time i got to the last 40oz it started gelling up on me. so from there on out i made it in 8oz batches. The only issue i had with the glass was i kept getting some airbubbles and cant figure out how to stop getting them. Should i sand down the airrbubbles before i start the next layer? Also i am using fiberglass mat but i also have a fiberglass cloth which is smoother than the mat. Can i use the cloth also or just the mat?
thanks guys i did a little test fitting today. Lets just say it fits like a glove one size to small.lol I still have to modifiy the seatbelt/trim pieces to make it fit. Also build the component speaker pods for the top corner of the cab.
Ok so i got a little done today. I got the holes cut for the speakers, plexi, and seatbelt. I would have done some more fiberglassing but i ran out of paint brushes. So now for some pics.
