 haven't got pm yet! (no huwwy though! )
I went to a Sound Quality comp today - got my 3 way setup going without the subs, judges said my highs and mids were beautiful but I lacked sub-bass and lost points for no extinguisher and not being able to disconnect the battery in under 20 seconds. |

| At this pont, I have left them connected to Parcel Shelf for ease of sanding....no movement.... You can see the low spots that will get a fine layer of finish coat once I've Trimmed to shape and happy..... |

| This is the Joining piece we attached earlier.....will now lay a piece over this to blend in with the rest....yes, there is enough 'play' around the Pod....you will notice this if you have been following.....Once this has dried, will be sanded smooth like before, then I will apply the Finish coat, sand smooth, prime and mark Door Location properly ready for cut out. |

and while I wait for All that to dry, will continue in the same way with the 2nd Pod....I won't bother with pics for that as it is only a repeat of the 1st...... and I don't want you all falling asleep.....  |

Waiting is the most frustrating thing about all of ths process, and the weather plays a very big part.........
That said, I will be proceeding with my Side Skirts and Rear Bumper at the same time...to finally get them ready for paint.
No these aren't the finished article....the Small Front Guard will be attached above the Vents....(not sure if I will keep the Vents or not)....Nowt else matches them, and the insert I made earlier from the Guard, will be smoothed into the Rear, then the Flare to be added. If you look closely, you can see how much I have to remove to get the Right Size for the CAP......Pencil line toward RHS....and yes, that is another 'Parcel Shelf' enjoying the sun............
Probably should've put this in the SNEAZA Album...??? Oh well.... |

STOP THE PRESS.....!!! Excellent, it worked.....
It is with regret, that I will have to put a HOLD on this........
Here's why......
1) NO BEER IN THE FRIDGE. 
2) Apparently I have to pay attention to the Wife in order to spend more money and continue.
3) Have to attend to the jobs I've been NEGLECTING.....Re-Oil the Deck around the Pool Area and Front Courtyard. I told her IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.....But she's a Blonde and it went straight through.......
4) Get rid of excessive amount of Palm Leaves.....Told her I was saving them to build a Hut near the Pool and she pondered on that for a minute before I copped a 'Slap' to the Earhole....DOH!!!
5) Apparently, the Kids have Projects that require my Drawing and Model building experteeeeeze ( I'll Post some Pics when I'm done). Said, why is it always up to me to do this.....they are YOUR PROJECTS.....answer, because we love you and we can't do it like you....Little Brown nosing B!##%$%s....that's the problem when you HELP with the First one........it never ends...
6) THE IMPORTANT ONE.....Got my 1st Customer for a Parcel Shelf Build, which looks like it may be a Complete Sub Enclosure...??? we will see
So, if you can bear with it for a week or two.....I'll Be Back..... |

| They dont seem to understand that home maintenance will always be there and will actually wait patiently for you to attend to it. Must admit I will use the excuse about building a hut with the palm leaves though...good one! |

You could offer a picture of you in a photo frame to your wife so she can carry it around and always be 'around' too! lol
Sideskirts look good, will be exciting to see them and the rear bumper on your capp (I got those subs yesterday too!) |

| HaHaHa....you're too kind, cheers mate. Actually, CG's design is relatively straight forward...2 Holes and fill in the rest.....unless he has changed his mind. |

| Thanks so much Sneaza It looks really great! Not something I would attempt as a beginner - I like your idea of a smooth panel going over the top of the 'shelf', I will probably implement that and mount the subs on a thick bit of ally plate and fix it to the rest! |

Been a bit Slack as I am now working 2 jobs, so not getting as much done at the moment, A lot of sanding on the Pods, but haven't bothered with the Pics until next step, but I did continue with the Sub Part.....
Attached the Front after Trimming to rough size..... and applied Spray Foam where the Sides meet the Curve...... |

From the Inside.....Needed to fill this so that I can 'Shape' the Centre Section over the Console then apply the Fibreglass Matt.....
This Foam will be removed, as I will apply the Matting to the Inside as well to get the desired Thickness and strengthen the Walls. |

Next, thought I'd try something different.....Will line the inside surface with some Vinyl left over from a previous venture, the plan being, that, when I lay the fibreglass onto the surface, it will give the TEXTURE of the vinyl.....hopefully.....
As I am now working 2 jobs ( money needed for my HABIT....Fibreglass ) and have quite a bit to do, this will be a bit slow for a while.
The List so far:
Sand and Re-Oil the Decking around the House and Pool....(Think Karate Kid..Mr Miyage)
Finish Capguns Enclosure.
Finish Rear Bumper.
Finish 'How To'.
Modify and Finish Sub Enclosure 2.
Finish and install A-Pillar Tweet Pods.
Finish 'How To Parcel Shelf 2'.
Continue and Finish Dashboard Gauge Pod.
Start Sideskirts.
Start Sub Enclosure 3.
Start Sub Pods for Boot.

Impressive to do list there Sneaza!
Textures?
Yes, I did a couple of short spells in a GRP place in my youth and they used shaped/imprinted sheets to give their security & fire windows (clear GRP & some was steel mesh reinforced) a dimpled/rippled look.
Not sure if vinyl would work as it's a very fine patern?
Can't wait ot see the result
