Fiberglassing ideas??

**93speedstud6** · 10-17-07, 9:45

thinking about removing my back seats and was curious about the structural necessity of the back deck... can it be cut? can it be removed? just brainstorming different things and was curious if anyone knew something about that, i wanna put components in the side quarterpanels of the back seat area, which is obv gonna be modified, and i want to use my back seat space more effectively since i dont drive ppl around in the cramped back lol. thought of this as a way of saving my trunk from a large speaker box and other crap.

any help guys?

so i actually just got started on this yesterday and let me tell you is it a lot more work than u think. i wanted to get the mold for the rear, i just layed my first layer yesterday and it took like 40 min to get it on because there are all those humps. i'll post some pics up when i get em. i have school and work so this might take me longer.

**93speedstud6** · 10-17-07, 11:41

would love to see it, def post pics when you can

**kylew4ever** · 10-17-07, 13:12

well it was my first time fiberglassing so actually i tore out what i just made. im gonna try it again tomorrow(i didnt put enough hardener on). one side was good but the other still wasnt dry.
i think i might show a step by step

**93speedstud6** · 10-17-07, 13:49

def like i said, i dont drive ppl around, the car is too weighted down and lots of ppl are annoying, so im just gonna take the seats out, i want to see what some ideas where and what ppl thought. a step by step would be sweet!

**93speedstud6** · 10-18-07, 15:37

nobody else has any ideas? cmon..

I will be doing the same but mine will still have the seats kind of. I am glassing from the center councle on back. I will have my blue buddy

in there. my 360 as well. more subs and tv's will go in there as well. and that will go right up the middle and I will still have the seats on each side for what reason i dono? it will be different other than a wall of glass. I am also going to glass the rear deck and do some stuff there. a few spots of cut outs with lights behind it. it will be all for show when I get done. I will have a second car when all this goes down! I have started to lay some glass for the trunk to get that all ready and then after that is useless the back seat is next lol.

**93speedstud6** · 10-25-07, 15:14

I have done it, but only the rear dash, im eventually going to do the backseats too! I didnt cut out any major supports and if you do just make em back your own way!!

**93speedstud6** · 10-25-07, 18:22

NICE. how did the sub work? do you not have a strut tower brace back there? hows the box set up?
