Hey fellas

I was looking through the treads the other day and i picked up a bit of inspiration from purepain.... so i thought i would give making a gauge pod that fits into the center dash speaker a go.... here are some progress pics so far, it has taken about half a day to get to where i am so far and its turing out alright. Let me know what you think.

ok fellas

FINAL PRODUCT!!!!! and it turned out allright. im not to happy with the colour but spotlight didnt sell anything closer than this. I think I could have spent a little more time sanding it down to a better shape, but i am still impressed with this as my first go.

Im thinking of maybe making a couple of these if people are interested. Let me know if you are interested so i can get numbers and see if it will be worth while. im thinking about $80 a pop but price might change depending on how much it will cost to get more speaker covers.

thats looks pretty dam good for a home job Very Happy

if you want the right colour you can go to hobby/model shops and buy the resin and toners so you could colour match the grey

its a filler thats hardens into a plastic. takes about 30 mins to cure and rock hard. can sand it, cut it, paint it etc. good stuff.
