Just thought I'd throw up some pics of our progress on my trunk.
They're in no particular order.
'o3 TL-S:

 

wow that looks like

i think its awesome and i'm really jealous that i can't afford a custom trunk

 

haha thanks


















Beotch!!!!

and i always forget about this white font shit. lol

 

NICE!!! I can't wait to revise my trunk situation (not lucky enough to have a heated garage). Keep up the good work!

My fav. hue is Ag. blue, too

 

Can't wait to see the outcome.

 

Wow it is looking good. I guess you are going to use the spare tire space as a fibre-glass enclosure. Just make sure you use at least 3-5layers as I heard some pretty crappy base out of those fibre glass enclosures. Keep up posted and are you doing all the install and work all by yourself??

 

Interesting, who is doing your work?

 

Thanks but naw we've kinda informally named this job "The Fifth Wheel" born from that the trunk will house a full size (19") spare when we're done.
The sub enclosures will sit on either corner (pics 8 & 9), while the amps reside on the rack at the rear (pic 7). All the work's being done at my shop

 

What is the name of your shop? Where are you at?

 

Bay Car Stereo

San Francisco, CA

 

Edit to above post :Mountain View, Ca

but thanks

 

its all the same

 

WOW. cant wait to see all that shit done Bo. It better be ready by next HIN

 

how much is that runnin you, and will u have access to ur trunk?

 

why would he not have access to his trunk? his lid gonna be sealed down or something?

 

I manage a shop here in Nor-Cal; so between fixing up the shop and working on other clients cars the installers are all mine. And the parts (resin, fiberglass, bondo, wood and misc tools) they don't get too expensive maybe a couple hundred bux or so.

As far as using the trunk..... well, I havent really decided how that'll work. I mean yeah, there's space enough to store whatever i want but using the trunk without scratching the finnish is what I'll need to address at some point.

 

hahahah

 

VERY nice work

 

i meant the spare tire

 

mad props, it's looking good

 

cool set up!

 

Sweet project, a lot like the one i'm designing, can't wait to see the finished product

 

any updated pics?

 

I got some on my phone but we havent had much time to work in it lately.

 

give us an update fooooo

 

I don't think there's enough MDF back there... you changing the rear springs?

 

As far as i know, Bo's got Tein SS Coilovers

 

So won't there be a serious rear sag issue?

 

My bad... you said coilovers.

 

LOL yeah. Most of that MDF will be cut away after the rear pieces are done. But either way the emphasis here is on strength (both for durability and SQ) not on weight and that’s where the Teins and S/C come in

 

so any update pictures. I am gathering Ides for use in building my next custom system myself. Hopefully I will begin work on it this summer. Gonna have to learn my way with fiberglass though.

 

sry guys nothing new.... Long story but I gues it boils down to the shoe-maker syndrome;
so beer with me.

 

uhh what exactly is the "shoe-maker syndrome"? i guess i will have to it

 

So we had a little time this month to get some work done on the trunk not too much progress but it's almost ready for paint......kinda.....

 

I want to see this shit.. not saying your work looks like shit but you know.

 

We sent the pieces off to the paint shop today... (god i hope they do a good job!!!)

They'll be done by thursday so I should have pics up next week end.

 

the bad news is that we don't have a 5th wheels anymore, Mackin only shiped me 4 wheels so I'm gonna have to re-think a a few things?



BTW: I need somme help deciding on what color I should paint it. All the guys think ABP would be nice but i'm not sure, I told the shop that if they dont hear from me by monday to just go with that. So I have the weekend to think about it. any1 have a better idea.

My thoughts:
ABP = Too toy'ish.
Black = Nice but it u wont be able to see the details and lines.
Silver = Probably my favorite but it wouldn't go with the car.

 

maybe it's just me, maybe i get a chubby at the thought of sound deadening, but if you're doing what it looks like you're doing, you may want to get a few more layers of dynamat under there before work goes too far

 

damn boku... a shipment from Mackin... cant wait to see what it is..

 

my vote is is for black

nice and shiny :-)
