Bobwires SQL Shop Truck

Got the box all finished up (except wrapping) a couple months ago. We finally got the thing wired up yesterday and today. I'll have to finish my temporary amp rack before I get to here these bad boys

The Door pods:

The progression of door pod shapes. I decided on a pretty wild shape a couple months ago. It really follows the lines of the panel closely, but will really stick out when I wrap it up all black. I'm really liking it.



My first gen baffles weren't going to clear the dash, so I had to move the speaker around. I hate the guess and check method, but that's what this job required. I was really stuck for clearance to the dash when the door closes, and back on the inside with the window regulator gear that swings out right where I wanted to put the speaker..... so here we are. I had 3 baffles before I got one that worked, and even it is not how I dreamed I would do this panel. No matter what I had to space the speaker out quite a bit to be clear of the window inside, and that screwed up my vision for the trim. Oh well.

Exactly!!!!... it was a "joke"

Brett had to edit your post, must of had some choice words....

Shoot me a PM if you want to talk about it....thanks

[jcollin76]

Lol yeah Brett had to remove his quote from my post.

Ill agree with the youngster on his first post though... the op has some fantastic wood fab skills!

Nice work Nelson,
as always..
I have been waiting to check it out, just got my internet so boom!
I like it..

[bobwires]

Thanks guys.

I think router skills are the key to fabrication being profitable. I'm working hard on my steel work now.

[TwoDrink]

I really like the shape you made for the pods. Very nice.

[bobwires]

Thanks

Nelson,
Missing a few pictures (may be just my computer)
kinda missed what you did..
is that a black gel-coat?
looks like the style you got.
I had a 98' Ram regular cab, one of the best sounding trucks I have had..
keep us posted.

Sub enclosure looks beautiful.

I knew you weren't going to be able to install without glassing some part of the doors

[jmkanek]

sweet!!

[bobwires]

That black goo is poly resin with black dye and micro baloons. Slathers on nicely, self-levels, dries in minutes, and sands like butta.

No glass - all wood and filler. This is my hour here, hour there project, and I want to keep the truck intact as much as possible.

[bobwires]

Thanks all.

All fastened with nutserts and threaded inserts.





nice tight fit on the trim.
