Re: Sonic Nirvana - How to Build Kick Pods in Classic Chevy Truck
After this first application of fleece and resin has cured, i then stretch another layer of medium thick fleece over the entire panel, staple it down and then apply a couple more coats of resin.
Note - If you use a decent quality fleece material that is medium thickness (like a medium weight sweatshirt) from any fabric store and the fleece is somewhat stretchable, there is no need to apply chop mat over the top. Good penetration of resin into the fleece is way MORE than enough structural integrity.
Here is the piece for the drivers side covered in fleece...the recessed area on this piece is so the E brake will clear without problems.
Then a test fit on the passenger side...the two arrows show where I am going to have to come back in and backfill the gaps with Rage Gold before wrapping in vinyl.
Last picture is after a couple of coats of resin. After the second coat of resin, your piece should be pretty shiny.
Time to start shaping and sanding...
