UBBFriend: Email this page to someone!     Author Topic: Fiberglassing kick panels! ClintMJ23 Member Member # 15897 posted                     Well, I am finally finishing up my kick panels that I started about 8 months ago! I just put another layer of mat on them and I will be duraglassing them after they are dry. Kicks layed out with grill cloth. One layer of mat. Adding another layer. I know you guys like pics, so I'll post updates as I get further along. -------------------- Clarion DXZ945MP(HU), Clarion OHMD74(Video), AudioControl Epicenter, AudioControl EQS Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X1700P (Fronts and Kicks), Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X170 (Rears) VX1400D(Subs), VX3002(Fronts), VX1502(Rears), Optima Yellowtop Check out my SD page http://members.cardomain.com/clintmj23 New pics coming soon Posts: 233 | From: SLC, UT | Registered: Sep 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Iggys Ghost Senior Member Member # 16692 posted                     Looks to be coming along good. I like the fact you are molding your kicks on instead of just sticking them there.

Yeah they fit. I will be using a grinder to sand down duraglass and fiberglass, then bondo over that and sand until smooth. -------------------- Clarion DXZ945MP(HU), Clarion OHMD74(Video), AudioControl Epicenter, AudioControl EQS Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X1700P (Fronts and Kicks), Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X170 (Rears) VX1400D(Subs), VX3002(Fronts), VX1502(Rears), Optima Yellowtop Check out my SD page http://members.cardomain.com/clintmj23 New pics coming soon Posts: 233 | From: SLC, UT | Registered: Sep 2004  |  IP: Logged |  ClintMJ23 Member Member # 15897 posted                     used a grinder with a sanding disk to do most of the primary sanding and shaping.
