Been meaning to post some pics...also been meaning to finish this damn thing.

My first try at FB, I think it came out pretty good for my first try though. Ive learned a few things by going through all of this.

I will NEVER use bondo brand Resin and body filler ever again though. This shit is garbage. It was just an dash so I didnt feel the need to opt out for the good shit. I plan on doing another dash though so I'll use some of the good shit next time.

It will have an texture fished when done.

Pics.




















Trying to shape the vents up..






My dumb ass forgot to put the speaker grills back in and I didnt pull the fabric tight enough so I had to build these areas up and make them a lil stronger






Bondo lil thick here...no worry I knocked it down with some 36 grit.





And right now. Shot it with some flat black so I could find the highs and lows that need more sanding and pin holes that need filling with the spot filler.









Having trouble getting the right shape for the vents... any tips to give me???

Sanded







Un sanded

where did you buy the materials? what all did you need?

Bought white Felt material from Joans fabric/ arts craft store.

Bondo brand resin at Home depot/ and kragens auto parts store.

And bodo spreaders and bondo brand body filler at walmart also got the spot filler there too. It was the cheapest place.

Some cheap ass brushes at Home depot.

FB roller at Tap plastics store.

Everything else gloves, Respirator mask, mixing cup etc. at Home depot

Better then what I could've done...

KOO, THANKS HOMIE. YOU GOT A LINK THAT DESCRIBES THAT SHIT STEP BY STEP OR SOMETHING? I BEEN WANTING TO FUCKS WITH IT.

Good luck on that dash i think you can do it a lot of catts onn here with madd talent!

Naw I dont have a link to one, I just looked through a lot of fiberglass forums/ guides for speaker boxes I fount with google its pretty much the same for the dash.... you plan on doing an dash too? If its an box chevy dash just pm me and I'll try to walk you through it the best I can.




Yeah thanks bruh, Im pretty good at things like this. Like making shit, just takes me 1 or 2 trys and I got it down...

I still got a lot of this crap ass bondo left. I might got buy a lil can of resin and making something else just for more practice before I go an attempt an door panel.

thats what im talkin about man. realtalk i see your over there doin ya thing. we might have to hookup to do some work together cause im tryin to learn that shit to but i been fuckin around cause i got other things goin on right now.

Nice job for your first try. I been wanting to do fiberglass but never fucked wit it yet.

Yup just let me know..

Next Will be center console when I get these seats and Complete door panel make over.

are you comin to the bay any time soon? if so let me know otherwise i'll see when i have a free weekend and to ride out to sac...i know you and a few other people out that way

Have no idea next time I'll be out there really...No time real soon anyways...But yeah if you come out here let me know. What you tryna get done? Something for the cutty?

Hopefully I can get up outta my folks house by this summer...maybe something small with an garage so I can have full projects going on and aint gotta hear people bitchn.... I aint working right now so shit is tough lol...Shit Im already dipping into my engine funds. Hard shit out here tryna get a job...smh

You know someone out here? Where they stay? Maybe they close to me. Its starting to get warm so we probably wouldn't need an garage to work out of...out side would be 100000x better anyways.

man it just takes time. fiberglassin a dash or any part for that matter aint easy. Doin that is just like body parts on a car. fill, sand, fill, sand, etc, etc.... It just goes on until its filled. when u get the bondo mostly smooth like u got it, switch to finishing putty (glaze or ice) has diff names depend on where u get it. It self levels and sands a hell of alot easier than "bondo" brand. But lookin good for first attempts.

man that shit look clean for the first time.....i need to get a hobby out my way and thats one of the thing i have been lookin at. i gotta stay out the streets. I just read Deezy post and i know he doin his thang too. im probably more time on the weekend that anything. Just keep doing what u doing and u will bubble.

Looks like a good start. A little advice on your next project. Get some Rage Gold bondo. Sands 100X's better and spreads like butter. Try it you'll thank me later. That Bondo brand shit sucks. It does the job but is a pain in the ass. Good job homie, can't wait to see the final product.

good lookin out beast holla at me anytime i was ridin through the town today.

you need putty to cover up the holes. keep in mind. putty is ONLY to cover up holes. you dont wanna put too much bondo cuz the heat will crack it.tight work i did mine i havent finish it been busy. bout to go back and finish now.
