feel free to rant and rave as you please

 

Love the in the middle nice look all round so far what color are you going to paint it???

 

omfg sweet jesus sip right now... how much do you want for it? :P

 

Ah, Rage bondo. I love that stuff. It sands down nice and quick, and ends up smooth as hell. I like it. So on the right side of your box is that just a port for the sub? Sorry if that was a dumb question, I'm good with auto collision repair stuff like bondo, but I'm not good when it comes to car stereos and electronics haha.

 

do you have any more pix of the completed design

 

btw how much money,time and effort is needed to do something like this thanks

 

I should let crazy4ozs answer this himself since the question was posed to him, but I'll go ahead and tell ya from personal experience. If you are paying someone to do this kind of work and you aren't getting an insane "friend hookup", yeah...it's expensive! If you are more of a DIY kinda person as I am, it takes a lot more patience and beer than money. It's not that it is extremely difficult, just VERY time consuming. Especially to turn out work like we just saw.

...which brings me to this.....
My hat goes off to Chris Marshall! Please pass on the word that he did an amazing job. Very nice detail work...can't wait to see it painted. Can't wait to see mine painted for that matter. Hell, it's only been out for paint for 5 or 6 months. Ok, now I'm depressed.

 

I want something similar to that but I have never laid fiberglass before I want mine to be electric blue like my car I think it would look tight

 

Looks really good. What color are you going to paint it?

 

wow that looks great! this guy knows what he's doing

 

HOlY SH*T!! Thats SICK! I think im in love... i made some custom enclosures a while back and their kinda hard to make. Mad props!

 

Agreed...custom fiberglass work is definitely a cool way to go and color matching pretty much always looks sweet.

All I can say is, if you want to personally try something like this, just research the hell out of it online. There are several good resources for info that you will stumble upon. I think fiberglast.com is one that I used to check out. Also, do some smaller 'trial and error' type jobs to get a feel for 'glass work before tackling a job like ^ that one. Or send me all your $ and I'll whip up something for ya.

 

Show us some pics of the finished product! I always liked custom work

 

alrite boys, sorry i havnt been on ehre in a while, to answer all you questions, it will be painted yellow in about a month, with about 11 more coats of bondo hehe, with the japanese symbol for "POWER" airbrushed on teh port side

yes, ion teh right hand side tha tis a port, just a single 4 in port

to normally do this i would say about a grand or more, just for the labor (unless you doi ngit yourself

i got it done for 200 plus materialys so around 350 wen it was all done

THIS IS CHRIS'S SECOND BOX EVER so yes, he does amazing work and has great craftmansship...i think i hti all the questions, i will have many mor epics in a few days when i have time to go out and make my video (its cold here in IL )....but ya any mor equestions can be directed at me or chris again ionsql@yahoo.com
