So a cold rainy weekend means no camping trip and thus an "excuse" to get some work done on the back wall/subwoofer.
Keep in mind, I am not a bodyman and just going with things I have done in the past based on information pulled from the 'net.
Anyhow, with the back wall removed, I covered it with green painter's tape. Previous experience has shown that fiber glass resin will not stick to this:
Next, I tightly stretch polar fleece around it doing my best to ensure it follows all the contours:
And now I soak it down with fiber glass resin:
Once the resin has dried, I pull it away from the plastic and I have a form to work with that gives me the basic shape of the back wall (minus the subwoofer section):
So once again, I completely gut the rear section of the Tundra including the temporarily installed radio components. Once the seats are out I replaced the bolts back in their holes both to protect the holes as well as to not lose the bolts:
This weekend's main job is to get the wall completely roughed in. That means working with fiber glass
inside the truck. This stuff is the stickiest, messiest material of all. If
any of it comes into contact with the interior, it will be ruined and have to be replaced. Therefore, I am not taking any chances and sectioned off the rear of the truck with two layers of a heavy plastic drop sheet:
So with a test fit of the new back wall and some trimming I have my two pieces placed:
Now I have to figure out how I am going to keep the wall in place before I join it to the subwoofer enclosure.
So with a pot of coffee on and the Symphony X discography in shuffle mode on the iPod I'll see if I can have this done today.
