That's some sound system Bob. How many speakers are you going to use? I like th door panels.

Wow you guys are doing great work. Lots of ideas and some stuff I didn't think of when making new panels for my '83 toyota truck last year. Looks like its time for a spruce up on the truck to help learn some new skills.

Rob,
The entertainment system has been pieced together on a shoestring budget. I have component speakers (1" tweeter & 5 1/4" midrange) for the front. I have some old 6 1/2" 3 ways for the back, but I may change that, and the 8" subwoofer. I also have a 10" LCD screen to stick somewhere. Lotsa fun....

Thanx for checking in everyone. I'll be off all projects for the next couple of weeks as I try to finish some house projects and strip another Fiero for parts. Can't have enough parts, I guess.

later...

Looks good!
Will the radiator fan overpower those fans and let very hot air into the compartment?

I hope not...I placed the fans outboard near the headlights, to get cooler air. Also, in the near future, I will be adding a hood vent.

I'm currently stripping an 86 SE. That has top billing because it needs to get out of here. Thanx for the bump...

Been a while for sure... I just picked up 2 'other' door panels for mine and stripped the carpet off and made the cuts... Keep this alive (I'll post a few pictures here too so it wont archive before its time)!!

Project Fiero GT 2M8 Update thread

I'm back...and I actually have an update. It rained yesterday so I couldn't work on the house So back to the story:
I got back to work on the door panel. Idecided I need to finalize the look of the entire panel, so I needed to get the insert together. I took the center section that I had cut out, and trimmed it to fit into the new opening. The opening was slightly smaller because of the added fiberglass. I also made sure that the edges had nice smooth edges. This is so I can use it as a template to smooth out the outer section. I decided it would be easier to mount if I had a flange to mount it to, but I wasn't sure how to go about this. I decided to flange the main outer section, and attach the center to it. This will make covering the center easier. I plan on installing studs around the center section once I get to that point. Anyway...here are some pics:


This pic shows the trimmed center installed with a layer of duct tape installed on the edge.


Here, I've installed some temporary bands to hold it together.


And here are several layers of glass (2oz matt) installed. Once the flange is complete, I will remove the bands and fill in the missing sections where the bands were. This will provide a complete support area for the center.

Hopefully it rains today, too

Bob
