When Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Originally posted by onesecondple the problem with bondo is it is mad mad mad heavy. you use that on smaller aplications, like the kick panels goin in my car have bondo instead of fiberglass, whereas the front behind the driver seat will be all fiberglass. yes, 'bondo' brand body filler is a heavy weight filler but no not all body fillers are heavy my personal favorite fillers are rage gold and blue ice http://www.basfautomotivepaint.com/storepics/evercoat/ragegold.jpg'> im not sure what youre talking about behind your driver seat, but if its fiberglass, and it will be seen ill bet anything youll want to skim it with some filler. everyone is so damn scared of body filler but theres nothing wrong with it if you know how to use it some vehicles that leave uor shop that have had extensive amounts of custom bodywork and fabrication dont leave until we skim the entire vehicle with filler just to make sure its glass straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full sound set up, tailgate welded, bumpers gone, fully shaved, custom front end, i thnk a caddy cts front would look cool, custom taillights in the tailgate (now they are in the bumper) id go 20's because they are an easy fit and if anyone told you hydraulics were the way to go, you have my permission to laugh at them hydraulics are for forklifts and dump trucks. if i was you i would ditch the cts idea and go for a newer escalade front clip even the first generation escalade clip id also cap the bed off with sheetmetal so you cant get into it anymore then cut an opening for a hinged trunk area for taillights id go either for the escalade pieces or a vintage cadillac light 59's are played but there are some other nice looking lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving Tree Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Originally posted by When bullshit. you need a few more things than that my friend i hope you didnt charge for these boxes and i hope no one tried to paint theirs, ha wha?? add some bondo onto that list and you have EXACTLY what you need.. look at mark master's d.b. drag truck.. or the H2 that Andy Piechuck from soundwaves crew had me do. i've personally got a box with 3 kicker L7 solobarics fed about 2k watts a piece built out of the same material, NO it's not ENTIRELY fiberglass, it's just the face, but all the steps are as easy as: 1) construct a basic wood frame *(in this case 3 square 10 inch rings, 6 bars from the rings to a solid base.. 2) cut flece, wrap, staple, brush out with glass. thats layer one and much cheaper than fiberglass mat. 3) slice up strips of flece and fill in around the pieces.. be sure to add layers of JUST glass over the flece. 4) when to desired thickness *(i went with 1/2 inch because i overkill.)* let setup completely... sand for the next 2 fucking weeks *(for real i hate the shit)* 5) bondo body filler, fill in the holes, sand again.. 6) take to your favorite paint shop and shoot her down *(h.o.k. candy blue custom with h.o.k. pearl in her... )* oh, and pre drill your holes for the subs so you dont drill through all that pretty paint. i dont know how you do it in your neck but thats how we do here in the mid-west. i've watched mark's truck hit 156 d.b. solid and no problems there, and the h2 is a daily... and no trouble there either.

SteveAustin Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 when I had my 70 1/2 Camaro restored...that thing had the thinnest of layers of bondo all over the entire body. on top of that and all the primer came several coats of the deepest, wettest, most beautiful black polyurethane I've ever seen. The finish of that car was like a mirror. The paint always looked wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl junkie Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 i'm not a huge fan of fords either (i've had damn bad experiences in the past) but the important part is that the engine and tranny is not ford... plus it's a real unusual truck... it looks drastically different than the 56s and earlier and the 58s and later... an odd ball for a year... i hope i can keep it too, but chances are i'm gonna be moving somewhere that doesn't have a garage, and i wouldn't want to park it on the streets in any of the neighborhoods i'd move to...
