Re: Harold's '48 S10 LS1 Build
I started smoothing out the sags with some of the Bondo short strand fiberglass filler. I'm not a big fan of Bondo, but I really like this stuff. It laid down nicely once I got the hang of it, and sanded out nicely. Once I got the basic shape that I wanted, I re-hung the console and cut some 1/4" wood pieces to run along the sides. My intent is to cast a lip on the console that will support the head liner.
I will eventually case a fiberglass mold off of the top of the cab. That will be the shell that the headliner upholstery will attach to. That will be run under the lip on the console.
I found some pet food bowls that I will use as molds for the speaker mounts. I waxed these up, and they actually released very easily. I run a box cutter blade between the bowl and casting, and they popped right out.
