I am wanting to get started back on my Mustang stereo soon. I want to fiberglass in the spare tire well to make it the enclosure for my Boston Pro 10.

I am not wanting to do this permanently, I want it to be removable. So with that in mind my thoughts are to cover the entire floor with plastic and lay fiberglass over that. I am just not sure if I want to use that the make a mold it what.


Has anyone done this? Anyone know of a DIY thread that is GOOD with lots of pics???

 

I don't understand the point of the plastic? Regular FG is easily removable

 

I was thinking of using the plastic to keep the Wet fiberglass resin from sticking to the inside of my spare tire well metal. One the Fiberglass would dry, I would pull it out and remove the plastic.

Regular Fiberglass is easily removable unless you spread it on right over the metal...

 

I was thinking you meant hard plastic, not like a plastic bag. Anyway, this site is pretty thorough on fiberglassing techniques. Hopefully it will help you out

WOW... thanks man.... That defiantly gave me some insight...

 

No problem. If you have any further questions, DIYMA.com is a huge help. You can search and find the answer to almost any question regarding fiberglass.

Also, this section is particular has a lot of information

After looking over some info on that site I had a thought.... I would probably need to do something to keep the fiberglass from vibrating against the metal in the spare tire well... My guess would be to dynamat it before i do anything back there... let the dynamat deaden any vibrations... Right?

 

the fiberglass should be so thinck and heavy there is no vibration.

They way I make all mine is to lay tin foil down. glass in the shape, pop it out and keep adding high weight fiberglass mat til you can essentially stand on it.

laying dynamat underneath is fine, but there should be no vibrations from any panel on your box.

 

Dynamat is overpriced, but Sound Deaden yes. Google "Sound Deadener Showdown." (Also on DIYMA.com). I personally have used and like Raammat. You don't have to deaden the entire trunk, but it wouldn't hurt. If you're worried about the FG vibrating against the metal panels you could certainly deaden only the panels the FG would come into contact with and achieve good results

 

Another vote for sounddeadenershowdown.com the stuff and guy who sells it are awesome.

 

put foil down i was at the sterio shop the other day and they were makin a fiberglass box and they had foil down

 

Yes lay foil, dont put plastic or the resin will eat straight through it.

 

 

Dynamat Xtreme kills two birds with one stone in this application. Vibration control (your box will be the real deadener here) AND if you take your time laying the xtreme down, you don't have to glue foil in to pull your part... because it is already done for you... right...right

Can't apply it without seams? A little foil tape, wax and you are good to go. Now you need materials, a fan, a respirator is a MUST, skill, and TIME... did I metion time. Time to study, time to calcualte, time to do, and time to figure out what you should have done and how to fix it if it is your first attempt
