I love this stuff, I just want to see the product.

 

Here are some techniques I used while running my custom car shop quite a few years ago....

take 3 plastic trash bags and insert them into each other for a 3 layers of trash bag.

stuff newspaper into any areas you want to leave loose and free

then stick the tripled trash bags into the space you want to recreate.

take a can of expanding foam, and spray it into the trash bag.

let harden, pull out, you now have a shape of the void/space. use a cheese grater to remove about 3/8" over the entire shape, lay fiberglass matting or cloth in 3 layers. let harden use gasoline or acetone (depends on the type of foam used) to "melt" the foam out of your box.

take small styrofoam peanuts fill enclosure until level with opening.

empty into square cardboard box, smooth level, mark inside of box, dump peanuts and measure this will give you volume +- .5 litre (some settling of peanuts will slightly affect measurements.

good luck, have fun and IMHO nothing beats old school (96~2001 cervin vega strokers!

VERY interesting! I might have to give this a try!

 

Ok, that's a good ******' idea. I'm gonna have to try that. Think of how easy that would make it.

Well, I didn't see it anywhere else and since I was one of the whiners moaning about the lack of pics, I just want to thank you for the ones you did post on the first page. That's the kinda stuff I love....the process itself...thanks again...Mario III

 

Well Im now in an area called 'confirmation' Im a mechanic again I get to work on the ones that offline with a problem. Anyways, yeah Im thinking and toying with the purchase of another FB, actually really miss my FC vert more than anything. That was a fun car and I miss it dearly. The FB just plain scared me to death. You dont understand I know but I was like 'G'damn everytime I drove it'. The vehicle Im thinking of purchasing is an 83 Fb with a half blown motor. If I come back it will be a v8 Im toying with the idea of a 350 built with a 8.8 narrowed ford. Id like to take the path that randy took a while back too. A turbo'ed 4 cyclinder interested me. These damn rotary parts are too costly, although i miss the rotary sound. But anyways, Im looking at maybe $2k car and all at 350 hp

As a side note I found the old fiberglass boxes I built a long time ago for the FB, I had 8 in Oz audios in it, and man did they jam. I will possibly list them on ebay soon. After I remake the mold for another soon to be adventure. Also maybe I can rebuild these ? anyone intersted ? Alex give me a call if you want to talk mikep28@insightbb.com .

 

Hmm, whatever happened to this? I see the other thread got locked, did anyone ever get an enclosure or their money back?

 

Holy dead thread batman!!!!!!

If I remember correctly He had a huge flood out of the basement where he did all the work and kept his tools and the insurance was dicking him around about paying for all the stuff, and he did have a wife and kids that took first prioity as they should.

I paid for mine all up front, but ended up getting all my money back. Just one of those things that was a good idea, and would have worked out great, but just got passed up by the thing called life.

Please correct me if any of the above info is incorrect. It has been some time ago.

 

Thats a shame. $100T2 looks like an excellent fabricator, sorry to hear about the bad luck!

 

cant wait to see what they look like done id be down for a set.

 

Date of thread/Post 60 are your friend!

 

Hey warwickben! You can have my spot in the original 10 if you really want. Just send me the $50 and it's yours, lol!

 

i should of read the whole post i saw the pics then posted lol my bad.

 

Negative.

But I never really asked for my money back, in the hopes that it woulda came through... eventually.

I should PM him about that.

 

Yeah I was hoping he would get back on the horse also.....considering I haven't gotten my 50 bucks back yet either. I asked once, and figured I would give him the benifit of the doubt, but ah well
