New pics of the custom box fabrication
The box is constructed and fits in the car like a glove (better than OJ's). So I finally pulled the trigger tonight and set the speaker ring and glassed in the face with material from a cotton t-shirt.
Here I secured the ring into the box with fiberglass putty.
t-shirt laying loose
t-shirt streched very tight, no wrinkles
I applied resin to the t-shirt and then put 1-2 layers of fiberglass matt over the top.
Back to work tomorrow so It'll be a while until I make more progress. I already have all of the pieces for the opposite side cut out and ready to go together, so it shouldn't take me nearly as long.

66 audio system
Just thought you may be interested in seeing the install.I do have an 02 but I am still listening to the lousy Bose system in that.Maybe after I get a decent system installed in my drag boat if I have any money left I will tackle upgrading the system in the 02.
