Haven't had mine running yet but would say it will be pretty noisy! I'll have to enjoy the audio system when either idling or stationary only
Anyway, a few coats of high build primer went onto the kicks today as well - looking pretty tidy! Few little pinholes to fix up but otherwise will be ready for paint soon: |

Looking great! How many layers of fiberglass did you end up getting on those bad boys?

Today I was engrossed in sub box modification - had to figure out how to cover the 6x9 holes and still make it look part of the original design. Covered entire surface of sub box with masking tape to protect the primed surface.
After tape, alfoil was glued in place with spray adhesive to form a barrier to avoid resin getting through to the primed sub box. Then a few layers of matt applied before allowing a couple of hours to cure before laying down a another couple of layers. More work to continue on these mods during the week - will update then. |

Filled the pinholes in the kickpanels and re-primed with two more coats of high build primer which will be lightly sanded with 400 to obtain a smooth base for the colour coat.
Kicks looking nice and smooth - hopefully ready for colour next weekend. Temporarily bolted up my mate's Fuchs whilst my Cup3 replicas get a little custom treatment (this is my mate's Karmann Ghia which is very nice indeed - temporarily borrowing my BRMs!): |

After this is a 68 beetle which is already painted....just a quick resto (1916, but stock mechanicals otherwise) to try and recoup some $$ as the budget on this one blew out Ah well....then there is the 64 splitty panel van....but that will have to wait a while! |

Those 6x9 holes should be perfect for a set of 6" separates, mount the 6" with the curve of the 6x9 then the tweeter in the center of the remaining moon shaped area.

Thanks Scott - the sub box was my first ever attempt at f/glassing so I am getting better with more practice!
Jason, I did think about that for rear fill and may do so down the track....but the dynaudio front stage blew the budget so they will have to wait! I am making this new f/glass panel removable so I can potentially add some rear fill down the track. |
