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

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:

OK UPDATE BABY! i got one of my lcd screens in today so i deceided to start on the dash. in order from top to bottom, it will be lcd, cd player, then my hvac buttons. should look nice in the end, i wont have a cubby anymore so it should like really nice. I hooked everything up also, everything is going together better then i thought, works perfectly and the lcd screen is amazing.

heres the pictures of the wiring and 2 layers of glassing. No body filler yet!

Going to need lots and lots of sanding and some primer and some paint and some gloss. i wouldn't have put the player in the headliner I would have put that somewhere less obvious.

I was originally going to do the same thing you did, with the dvd player on the roof. I decided against it and ended up putting it in the center consol instead. I like the way yours looks, just need to finish it up now :D

Yea thats for sure something dif. Having three screens in the car might light it up quite a bit at night but still its looks sweet.

i have a setting for nighttime so it will be dimmer, or i can just have the front screen on, you have to press the power button for the two screens to come on in the back, so if theres some1 sitting there then they can turn it on, if not it stays off. all have remotes.

yea, im hoping to finish this up sometime soon, i still have the runk to finish and also the bumber remake.

thats looking awesome. i have a question tho, on the headliner did you mount the dvd player from the other side somehow? or just glassed it in?


*edit, NM i went back and saw the block of wood. great work man

yeah it looks like its coming along nicely. You want your name out there = you take your finished product around to shops and say here's what I did, and I can do more, wanna hire me?... Someone will pick you up, or see if you can start out as an apprentice. It might not pay alot to start, but you'll learn so much that your value will go up

Looks good so far. Put on a bit more filler than I do, might save you a lot of sanding there. I was at the Chiller in Dubin this weekend for a hockey tourny. Pretty neat town!
