Blow throughs are a good idea and very economical mean for saving room. However, with one, you give up another, you know what I mean. Blow throughs mean that you give up bed area and, in my opinion, only look good if they have been covered by a fiberglass cover over the bed or something. I have a stepside, and again in my opinion, 99% of the fiberglass covers I see for stepsides look like shit and make me want to hurl, lol. Just kidding, but I really don't get my kicks off seeing the bed covered.

As far as the DJD thing, I appreciate the compliments. But, really, anyone can be the DJD of fiberglassing if they take their time and try to understand what they are doing rather than just throwing something together and saying, "look, my fiberglassing project this...." or that.

Ample thought into anything can accomplish a goal.

Out of respect for DJD, I'll take the titles of "Fiberglass Man" or better yet, "The Magician" or, "The Fiberglass Magician", yeah, that sounds more like it, and you can just call me "Magician" for shortout, lol.

Come to St. Louis, you'll see.

Ok, I ordered the glass from U.S. Composites over that of Wicks. I thought I'd give them a try. So far, un-impressed. I recievced no confirmation of purchase e-mail and they hadn't charged my card yet so I had to call them and re-order it. Their on-line ordering needs some work. I'm saving a little money with them but at the moment, I think I should have gone with Wicks. I would have had it already.

If you order from U.S. Comp, call them to place the order or use the form they have on the site and fax it in.

Just and FYI

fastSdime · 02-16-2006, 04:54 AM

Thats cool. And I know what you mean. Its a lose/lose situation. I use to have a blow thru but it was thru my back window with a solid side topper. But now I'm tryin to keep as much as I can out of my bed. All my bag stuff is going under the bed and I'm going to lift the bed floor so its still solid. I can lose a click on my seat thats about it.

And I'll be out that way for S10 Nats. I mean its only 5 hours. But I'm a poor minitrucker so payin for hotels and shit suck and the truck is soon to have a SBC in it so gas isn't going to be the greatest either.. LOL But I'll find you if your around come Nats.

You have to be reaaly careful when getting them out so you don't scratch paint.

Hey Nick, what did you do with the little light sensor that resides in the stock passenger side speaker grill?

BTW, the dash pods look great.

i would say you prolly have to do the resistor mod so that you can disconnect it and control your headlights manually. or you could always flush it into the back side of the pod so it can still see but its not right out front.

i personally would do the resistor mod because it would help with the cleanliness...

sorry nick, figured id help out though

I shaved it if you will. I shoved it down into the hole for the speaker. Its use is pretty much obsolete because the headlights are on during the day and night. So I just discarded it by getting it out of the way and pushing it into the hole. This sensor senses the light outside. If your lights are on during the day, and during the night, then the sensor sensing the darkness from inside the dash is a moot point. Easiest shave ever, just move it out of the way.

NickZigaitis · 02-16-2006, 12:45 PM

Small update:

Whether here lately has been warm enough for me to lay the intial coat of resin on the console. I'll do that tonight. I also got my Carlington Marine rocker switch in for the Pancake option on the switches and I got all 4 Autometer Ultra-Lite air pressure guages in yesterday for the console. I might mock up the guages so you all can get an idea of it. Tonight, I'll also start sanding on the dash and probably have most of its mock up done this weekend too.

Also, Got,
The steel braided hydrualic lines for my scuba tanks;
Got the high pressure y-block for the scuba tanks
Got the new mounting sleeve for the headunit.
Got the large guage wiring for the audio

But, I'm still waiting on my glass. Hell, I'd be done by now if I weren't waiting on U.S. Comp.

Anyway, some real progress will soon start to be made.

NickZigaitis · 02-17-2006, 08:17 AM

Small Update:

I got the Autometer 2 1/16th Ultra-Lite Guages 0 - 150 PSI air pressure guage. Got 4 of them, one for each bag. I hated the look of the KP dual needle guages, or frankly on dual needle guage offered.

Since I already have a couple Ultr0Lite guages and love the look, I decided to match them with these 4 guages of same type.

I very roughly mocked one up to show you all. I still have to size the hole a little for the guages to just drop in.

Well I just got smack-ity on the phone with them a second ago and told them I'd order from Wicks if they didn't get a move on. I guess them and Wicks are big competitors cause I just lit the fire under their ass. Ther're shipping it out now and I'll have it by next Wed.

I knew you were trying to be positive. Hell, me too, but you can only stay positive for so long when you're in the holding pattern cause of someone else's slow ass ways.

Still waiting on U.S. Composites. I don't think I'll order from them again in the future. I'll stick to my tried and true, Wicks.

It was way to damn cold here last weekend to do any resin or epoxy mixing anyway. It was 18* in my garage. So instead, I froze my ass off for a while sanding on some of the other plastic pieces left to be painted. So far, the outlook is grim for next weekend too with cold weather again. So I might just be sanding again next weekend too. Oh, well, I needed an excuse to sit my ass down and sand that damn plastic. I so can't wait for this interior to be done so i can finally move onto the suspension work. All this sanding is driving me crazy alittle and killing my damn wrist. As so as I have good mixing climate and the fiberglass, I'll get cracking. It souldn't take long at all to glass it all. Probably a weekend or so. The strech fabric is straight and accurate so the bondo phase should be quick and not as intensive as the last box where I used T-shirt to explain to all of you why you shouldn't use it. That working example, warped like a bitch and was intense as hell on the bondo work to straightedn and level the surfaces.

Ahh, the thingsI do for you guys, From here on out, you guys should have all your lessons on why to use spandex, so I shouldn't have to use T-shirt again for you guys to show you its warping.

This video I did a while back. Not sure if this is what you're talking about.
I used about 120 different video clips from different videos and cropped them down to a 3 minute or so video to music by Korn. I shot some footage of fire and found clips of an A-bomb explosion to give it a little more dramatic of a feel.

I think the 1st gen you're talking about is in the last 20 seconds of it. Really quick shot of it.

Well, I just checked the Weather Channel for the next two weekends and it looks dismal. St. Louis is supposed to be in the 40s the next two weekends. Thats too borderline of my preference for mixing batches when its cold. Of course, unless I feel like counting out 400 drops per 3oz batch.
Unless by sheer luck it warms up, I'll be sanding the plastcis and getting them ready.

On another note. I got the fiberglass and took a look at it. Its good quality glass with the 3oz glass being a tight woven cloth but very soft and plyable meaning, the last layer of glass to go on should be really smooth which eliminates a crazy ass load of bondo and sanding. These items should go together better.

I think I'll have a friend of mine shoot video while I do it to so i can show you all how I'll do something as large as this sub box.

With fiberglassing you have to be patient, even if that means being patient with the weather.

It sucks though.

Ahh, the thingsI do for you guys, From here on out, you guys should have all your lessons on why to use spandex, so I shouldn't have to use T-shirt again for you guys to show you its warping.

This video I did a while back. Not sure if this is what you're talking about. I used about 120 different video clips from different videos and cropped them down to a 3 minute or so video to music by Korn. I shot some footage of fire and found clips of an A-bomb explosion to give it a little more dramatic of a feel. I think the 1st gen you're talking about is in the last 20 seconds of it. Really quick shot of it. http://www.filecabi.net/u.php?file=1138127300.wmv Last edited by NickZigaitis : 02-22-2006 at 11:27 AM.

NickZigaitis I Like Fire....HaHaHa Age: 78 Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 4,693 Location: God Damn Garage, STL User is: OffLine	Re: Teaching Fiberglass (part one and two) Well, I just checked the Weather Channel for the next two weekends and it looks dismal. St. Louis is supposed to be in the 40s the next two weekends. Thats too borderline of my preference for mixing batches when its cold. Of course, unless I feel like counting out 400 drops per 3oz batch. Unless by sheer luck it warms up, I'll be sanding the plastcis and getting them ready. On another note. I got the fiberglass and took a look at it. Its good quality glass with the 3oz glass being a tight woven cloth but very soft and plyable meaning, the last layer of glass to go on should be really smooth which eliminates a crazy ass load of bondo and sanding. These items should go together better. I think I'll have a friend of mine shoot video while I do it to so i can show you all how I'll do something as large as this sub box. With fiberglassing you have to be patient, even if that means being patient with the weather. It sucks though.
