Here's what I've done in the last 24 hours...

Masked off the corner area with 2-inch blue painter's tape and plastic.


Laid down several layers of fiberglass matt and cloth (over initial layer of fiberglass resin).


When (mostly) dry, I pulled out the fiberglass (with tape and some plastic still attached) to continue to dry out of the car (it's sticky AND stinky!)


Here's the fiberglass with most of the tape removed but I hadn't yet started to trim down the excess and/or sand. This is looking at the backside, which will be hidden when installed into the car.


Next steps include adding more layers of fiberglass to the interior of the box and possibly some MDF pieces for support. Issues still to resolve: 1) am I going to use the base portion I previously made to attach to this box for added interior volume, 2) should an amp rack be added to conceal all the wiring or merely just a solid MDF piece to attach the amp to but still have partially exposed wires (would concealing the amp lead to overheat issues?) and 3) what to finish the box with?

make a mold so you can reproduce the shape

top marks my friend. Looks very promising so far.
I have just got a mould back form one of my buddies, who took the panel away and laid a mould on it. Unfortunately the panel must have deformed somewhat out of the car, cos when i tried to put it back in the 'glass was not the right countour. However, all is not lost and i am sure a second go will sort it. Moral is definitely to leave the panel in the car.

As you have mentioned, the fibreglass stinks. How can i stop this? do i paint it? cover it with material/ ou quoi?

Thanks for your time
