By flipping the template around 180° we can mirror the woofer on the opposite side of the car. Fit the pattern I cut and taped poster board together, until I had a pattern of the sides and rear of where the box would go. This will be used to indicate where the fiberglass will be layed up to and afterwards, where to cut. It can simply be flipped for the opposite side of the car. The photo on the left is looking toward the front of the car and the photo on the right is looking toward the rear of the car.   The template Here, we have the pattern/template layed out flat. Not very pretty with all the cutting and taping but it is probably the best way to get everyting to fit right. In the photo to the right is where I just cleaned up (photochopped) the template so it would look nice.   Remove 12mm bolt. I removed the 12mm bolt holding a clip. I believe this is for a baby seat.   Tape It Up. I used 3M Masking tape to cover the area I will be fiberglassing plus a generous area around it. The first photo shows the masking tape with one layer. Each strip is overlapped. The second phto shows the finished taping. I put a second layer of tape, again overlapping the tape below. Mark It Up. The template is placed onto the ape and using a magic marker, I carefully traced around the pattern. Tape has had the pattern traced onto it. When fiberglass is layed, the line will show through so you know where to lay the fiberglass to. In addition, the line will be transferred to the fiberglass showing where to cut the finished piece.   Page 3: Create the Volume   Page 5: Laying the Fiberglass Shell   Comments       Add Comments © 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 eTraxx.com
