I missed it, is the tank for airbags?

I believe so, but not entirely sure.

[pimpedout97x 4]

i do have all the parts though, with the exception of fittings and stuff.

Will the face of the wall get trim panels as well or do you have something else in mind?

[emh9009 199]

Did you ever get those corners glassed or taken care of some way or another? Just looks like it's getting harder and harder to get back there to work on them. Looks good though!

[pimpedout97x 4]

yea the trim panels will be all in place and covered this weekend. and no i havent glassed yet LOL. i can still get in the box though through the port.

[pimpedout97x 4]

bondo'd these up, going to try and cover the whole trim panel in a seamless piece of suede (the port will be a lighter suede than the rest of the trim panel)

this is how i made them stay together

gonna bondo these today

Nice progress! Is suede pretty easy to work with?

[pimpedout97x 4]

i bought them at lowes, paid more than if i would have ordered off ebay. i think im gonna order those now just so i have them. comes to .18 cents each on ebay, lowes was .68 cents each ... i only bought about 14 though.

IMO its pretty easy, especially on flat panels like that.

when the wall is done, the front seats are getting wrapped in Ultra Leather (like 85 a yard or something crazy) but its VERY comfortable haha.

after some sanding on the trim panels.

hit it with another coat to fill in any gaps

the trim panels under the port

foty-fih'z fo da port

reason its 1/4" longer than the port is because i still have to make a 1/4" trim piece that goes on the port, so i accounted for that. im going to make that then have robin round over the whole thing. i have a router and roundover bit, but im not the best with a router, so i dont wanna slip and make a bit notch in my port and have to re do it.

[sefugi 166]

Thanks for all the pics!!! Keep up the progress!!!

[edouble101 314]

Everything is coming along nicely

[pimpedout97x 4]

thanks. cant wait to get the port rounded over all around, its going to look nice!

Great work so far, love the detail work, looks amazing man, keep it up!

[pimpedout97x 4]

really happy with how this is turning out! i only had a 1/2" roundover bit, im going to look for a 3/4" one tomorow and run over it with that, just to give it a little larger of a roundover.

[sefugi 166]

I like the round-over look as well, seems to me it will help smooth the air movement in the transition through the port.

Great detail oriented work man!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great!!

[pimpedout97x 4]

wewt. new bit. 1/2" shank, which meant new router. lol

porter cable is the new one, on the right. not a plunge, but oh well. i like it.

came with a free laminate trimmer (basically a mini router with a 1/4" collet)
