system build in my 07 access cab

Thanks man, I cant wait to be done either. I'm hoping to be done by the end of the week. I got some more pics that I am going to upload soon...

 

I just got a little done today, I got the duraglassed sanded and its ready for filler now. That will be tomorrows work.

 

Very clean man.

 

Thanks dude, I def appreciate it

 

I can't wait to see them in action.... Keep up the work

 

thanks, hopefully soon. I just gotta get motivated to do all this sanding

 

^ haha nice

 

That's a lot of work going into that box. Looking good!!

My arms are itching just reading and watching the pictures of all your glass work.

I've laid down LOTS of glass on boats, meaning full 300lb rolls and 55 gallon drums of resin at time on projects. My advice, if you didn't already know, is to coat your arms and back of your hands with baby powder before sanding then wear latex gloves and long sleeves. The baby powder clogs the pores so the glass dust can't get into them and itch, and it washes right back off in the shower. Plus as already said, a GOOD cartridge respirator, not just a shitty sars mask, wrap around safety glasses and a hat that covers yours ears.

But, by looking at the space heater as your helper, I'm guessing you're already wearing long sleeves.

Keep up the good work. Like I already read, that's bad ass for a first time project like that. You'll learn a lot and the next one will go faster and come out even better.

 

Thanks for the tips, I have heard of the baby powder trick before but the glass doesn't bother me too much. So usually I just wear a short sleeve t and so dickies haha. I do need to buy a cartridge respirator though, I am planning to soon. But thanks for the good words, I'll keep in mind those tips if the glass does start to bother me and try them out.

I've been working on the filler the past two days and it's almost ready for some paint. Hopefully tomorrow I can paint.

 

What color are you painting it? Black or are you going to match the interior?

 

It's going to be a metallic blue. Rattle can baby! haha

 

LOOKS SICK MAN! can't wait to see it all painted up and sitting in your truck!

try not to give anyone a heart attack tho...lol

 

lol thanks man. I'll try my best not to, but I can't guarantee anything haha

 

X2. Your going blow peoples ears out.

 

haha thats sick! I used to have 4 10's and a 12 in my old '93 4 runner. It rattled sooo bad.
One 10 is all I need now; in highschool my friends and I were all about who had the loudest system. My hearing got kinda shitty for a while.

 

Yea, bass can do a number on your hearing if your not careful. I went to a small high school. I was the loudest then (not in this truck) simply because no one else even had a system haha.

 

i would have liked that when i was 16 different strokes for different folks but i have to say you got some enginuity

 

Thanks I guess?

 

I finished with the filler and got it sanded down. Then I marked out all the spots where there were pin holes or deep scratches and spread some glazing putty on. Unfortunately, the putty didn't dry and I will have to wait until tomorrow to sand it and paint the box. If everything goes right tomorrow I should be able to finish painting the box, install it and build the trim panels and wire everything up and test it.
