Bootbuild Progress

[Boydie]

As some of you may know i am in the middle of building my first fibre glass boot build

the orignal boot build was ALL wood and sub boxes

this time im using a mixutre but added a few curves!

anyways this is my first time trying this so ill welcome all critiscism's but as long as they are constructive lol

at the min im pretty pleased with what i have done - taking ages still and I keep changing my idea and think of new plans

(i also have some more pics on my phone but cant get them on the comp )

getting the outline made and figuring out where to position everything

test fitting!

smoothed and hardened!

the mess! sorry day

perfect fit! get in!!

 

[Bronk]

[Boydie]

EQ lid which i plan to get somethin stitched on the material covering it

[Boydie]

thanks jas

i remember being down at ur house ages ago and seeing how u built the build for your saxo -always remebered

 

[SeanM86]

Tidy job lad. Im likin the idea. Havent seen many like that before.

 

[brendy]

looks well for a first effort.
must weigh a focking tonne tho.

 

[-Pete-]

looks very good for a first effort, im im pressed! as brendy said it must weight plenty, lots of sanding! are you going to trim it all or paint and trim?

 

[Bilal]

nice 1 mate, keep it up when ya hope to have it finished?

 

[Boydie]

looks well for a first effort.
must weigh a focking tonne tho.

to be honest it isnt that heavy

the previous build had a lot of wood and 2 very heavy sub boxes 1 more amp and another sub - i mite be sitting on same wieght or less

getting it trimmed in grey alacantra to match the pods and pillars up front but going to use black i think with a sketch on it im not sure yet

hope to have the matting and pon done by the end of the weekend and get it away to SIM for trimming

thanks guys!

Looking good boydie, would hate to think how much it weighs but bar that very impressive. I remember the days of boot builds, much fun was had snorting mdf dust Keep er up lad. Don't think I could live with a build again but ohhhh how I miss my sounds! Think the next motor will actually receive my components and EQL which are sitting gather dust on my shelf lol...
