I have never done anything with fiberglass before. There are plenty of instructional videos about it, but none are as descriptive, down to Earth and to the point as yours. I'm in the middle of a 2009 Tacoma Access Cab stereo upgrade with some tough placement choices, and solely because of your videos, I actually believe I know enough to try some custom panels. These videos will be loaded up on my computer the whole time for my first few tries. Awesome videos and thanks for posting...
Thank you for this video. Im trying to learn how to "fiberglass" custom auto parts. Your vid's (out of the 1,000 i've watched) is by far THE BEST! Very easy & simple to understand, not all of the background noise, B.S., confusing extra steps, etc. Very str8 4ward. NO MISSED STEPS EITHER! Cant wait to check-out your other video's!
Thank you. Learned a lot. I need to do this to my door. As I have no room in my kick panel area. Just bought a router tonight that fits on the circle jig. So glad I found this video. Made me glad I bought it.
holy Shit batman!. Iv seen your other fiberglass video on how to build a fiberglass box and I was amazed with how you teach the concept of building it. Today I fixed the holes on where I had mounted my tweeters, with fiberglass and realize it is not as hard as I thought it was. Now thanks to this video you have given me the confidence I needed to start my custom kick panel speaker pods.
Hurtugood86, your tutorial is just as much, congratulations, if half of the video tutorials on the net had half the quality of her everything would be much easier to make, very good, the best.
My man that was one of the most informative videos I have seen yet excellent job to the point straight up I know how to build kick panels now great job thank you for your help I will be subscribing
This is the crude way of doing it, would never fly in a high-end shop, look up how to make a fibreglass plug and fibreglass casting with a tooling gel coat. You could do it his way but in person, it looks horrible. It's also much messier his way to much sanding and cutting, the end result doing it his way it will look like dented metal rather than a smooth part that flows with the car. Either way good luck mate.
Farmer Fpv - yes you are correct “HIS JOB “ will look horrible in person . He didn’t take the time to use a skim coat of lightweight bondo filler or cut and sand the edges nice and neat . Lots of people use this method while using more effort and finesse to have a flawless outcome . When I seen him starting to prime that bumpy surface I couldn’t believe what I was seeing .🤯😳
NIcely done, I will use the tutorial to do my kick panel for my 2003 Isuzu Ascender. Excellent job! I will do an extra step and add tweeters as well. Once again your tutorial will me help me do mines. Thank you...
Excellent video and instructions! The only suggestion I would have is to reinforce the front of the kick panel pod with the fiberglass matting same as you did the back. This will avoid any possible flexing.
Great video! I envy the pneumatic tools you use. I wanted to ask you the SCFM/PSI compressor specs you need to operate them properly (sander, sable saw, etc). Thanks!
You took the shape of the kick panel with fiberglass and resin, and you structured the pod with fleece. Great work BTW; but a question remains: You didn’t explain to your viewers how you were able to fasten your custom build back onto the cabin. So how did you do it????
1) could u explain a little more why u used aluminum foil for the curved areas?..2) whered u get that fleece??...that looks amazing to work with for this
use cotton or some other fabric, fleece takes upto 4x the amount of resin for the same job, The foil was to make sure the glass didnt come away from the corner.
I love the post: precise, concise, and clear!! thx. Can I make fiberglass tubes ~.5-1.5"OD ~.3-1mm thick that are flexible but capable to transmit ~200 Nm torque?
can u send me the list of items to buy to do this project so i can have a shopping list already printed out? i wanna do this to my truck and to my doors too. so far best video i've seen on doing the molds. also the small wood piece u glued in the center to hold the rings what angle is the block cut is it 45 degrees? great job!!
Why do people feel the need to cut mat into little pieces? There is a binder holding the strands together that dissolves in polyester resin, making it take the shape of basically any object. You are only creating weak points. Also use a roller and squeeze the excess resin away.
The round support is not obsessed with mebranen strong that covers if it is not filled from within, because the resin is used only on the surface, anyway nice
i see that you made a negative mold but didnt use that mold to make a replica of the kick panel, instead you just used the neg mold as the panel... correct? shouldn't you have used the mold to make a replica? to be exact..
you can move the brake pedal over a little bit by drilling a couple new holes in the firewall and also trim the side of the pedal a little bit. or cut it off and reweld it. there is a video of a chevy c10 doing kick panels and ran into the same thing. it's a red and white stepside 2wd on airbags

The most clear and concise video I've seen on howl do this,none of that unnecessary talking,just straight directions!!!!props!!lol

Freaking excellent! I'm not paying anybody to do what I can try and do myself first. I truly appreciate this example!
that foil trick to get the matt to stay down was GREAT! thank you!!
This was the best video I've seen on fiberglass! You were direct, detailed, showed just enough video of each step, and made it look easy. Awesome vid.
i love how your videos are straight to the point with no extra bs
Best tutorial about this subject. (I have watched 20-30 already)
Nope sprayway customs will teach you ways to do it that will actually last.
This will crack and break before you knownit
Great video. Love that you made another kick panel and then made the speaker pod. Very informative.
Thank you. Learned a lot. I need to do this to my door. As I have no room in my kick panel area. Just bought a router tonight that fits on the circle jig. So glad I found this video. Made me glad I bought it.
Very good instructional video,most of these are just pictures with crappy music, I will be having a go using this method soon.

You are kept very helpful to share about subwoofers, it is also demantable post for those who want to upgrade their old subwoofer.
Hurtugood86, your tutorial is just as much, congratulations, if half of the video tutorials on the net had half the quality of her everything would be much easier to make, very good, the best.
that flush bit technique was a good idea. I'll have to try that next time I fiberglass a speaker enclosure.
Modfyd GARAGE how do you mix fiberglass resin with hardener
Dude it literally comes with instructions when you buy it
this was made in 2012, This is such a clear video, Nice.
Dude great video! I love open, honest, and detailed how to's and this covers all three. Great stuff man! Keep up the good work!
simplest instructions I have seen from any other video. I am ready to try it myself. Nice work!!

Foil for the curves..🤯 never knew! Awesome video!
The foil trick was brilliant!!! Thanks for sharing!

youve got some serious patience man! great job!
Good job but a lot of us are wondering how you mounted it after you were done. Could you please provide us an answer? Thanks in advance.
quick, simple and informative... great job....
Great video! Super helpful info. - Your work looks excellent.
cooking spray? didn't think of that. great vid
To the point. Covers the main topics quickly. A lot of instructional videos are verbose and dull. Nice job.
I would do coats of that primer build up and sand down twice if you want a less glossy surface like that
That was one of the most informative and interesting projects I've 👍👌
That is one of the best videos I've seen! Kudos, detailed and explained very well!
Very nicely explained and a well done video clip. Nice job.
Hey Holmes. Great job!!! - this piece you made, is it thick enough? I see guys putting multiple layers of fiberglass mesh.
Great process man probably the best I have seen yet I feel confident I can do this awesome video u have a new sub
You did a really good job sir.
Excellent video and instructions! The only suggestion I would have is to reinforce the front of the kick panel pod with the fiberglass matting same as you did the back. This will avoid any possible flexing.
Really interesting, simple and efficient! Thanks!
Great video. Adding it to my favorites for when I build some panels in the future.
That was an awesome video! Keep up the good work! Your video was so good it makes me want to try it with out fear of failure.
Great video! I envy the pneumatic tools you use. I wanted to ask you the SCFM/PSI compressor specs you need to operate them properly (sander, sable saw, etc). Thanks!
I love the way kick panels look but I hate the obstruction it often creates in tighter cars.
Awesome. I’ve always wondered how that was done. Thanks!
perfect bro
right business
excellent knowledge of materials project
and execution
You took the shape of the kick panel with fiberglass and resin, and you structured the pod with fleece. Great work BTW; but a question remains: You didn’t explain to your viewers how you were able to fasten your custom build back onto the cabin. So how did you do it????
They never explain that. All these fiberglass videos never how to attach.
one of the better videos,nice job!
This is awesome I have a 95 Yukon 4door I think I'm gonna use this method to install 8" subwoofers in the rear doors instead of using a speaker box.
Pretty nice video you have made here.
Although i did not understood everything (i am not a native English speaker).
I like it.
cooking spray for a release agent Genious!
Muy buen trabajo, lástima que no es en castellano, felicitaciones, espectacular!!!!
awesome!...great work man...I need to learn to do this ASAP👍👍
1) could u explain a little more why u used aluminum foil for the curved areas?..2) whered u get that fleece??...that looks amazing to work with for this
use cotton or some other fabric, fleece takes upto 4x the amount of resin for the same job, The foil was to make sure the glass didnt come away from the corner.
Excellent content
Very informative. Well done 👍🏾
Nice tutorial subscriebed !!
I love the post: precise, concise, and clear!!
thx.
Can I make fiberglass tubes ~.5-1.5"OD ~.3-1mm thick that are flexible but capable to transmit ~200 Nm torque?
currish
thank you! for your video it great to share knowhow that easy to do kick panel with my self.thank !!!!!
Brother i love this. The bell is on
can u send me the list of items to buy to do this project so i can have a shopping list already printed out? i wanna do this to my truck and to my doors too. so far best video i've seen on doing the molds. also the small wood piece u glued in the center to hold the rings what angle is the block cut is it 45 degrees? great job!!
Great video. I will make my own.
thank you, wow it was really nice, clever , makes me think of endless possibilities
Finally a good tut thanks man
Sweet video bro can't wait for more videos of other projects...!!!
turned out super good
awesome vid u made it look simple 👍👍
Can u plz tell me what product u use for all steps. It help s ppl like my self
Great look and solid build, but what about the tweeter? Holesaw?
this was a really good vid, thanks!
I feel as though you are a good teacher, Could we get some trunk or other fiberglass work tuts?
Good job. Decent video thanks g
Nice job Man. Hello From Paris.
good video ... good instructions, clear sound - I like it :)
Nice video dude, just gained a new sub. Thank you
Awesome! Thank you for the vid!
Awesome nice work
When wrapping fleece, wrap it as tight as possible. If your panel warps, it's because you didn't use enough fiberglass the first time.
Good job dude
Why do people feel the need to cut mat into little pieces?
There is a binder holding the strands together that dissolves in polyester resin, making it take the shape of basically any object.
You are only creating weak points. Also use a roller and squeeze the excess resin away.
Great job, looks great
Great video, thanks for posting
Very informative. Thanks for the vid
don't use cooking oil, use wax…and you should reinforce the fleece with more matt
This is some amazing shit ! Doing it this week ! Thx yo
Great vid man! Good job w/ those panels!
it is standard fabric? or special material when you making shapes
you deserve my respect
Awesome video....thank you
Thanks for the support. More videos to come soon.
having watched this video. I'm going to try it......
The cooking spray work with metal too?
So no fiberglass mat or cloth on top of the fleece?
to lay the fabric is to be cut to the shape of mold so that it is smooth
Great Video Thanks 👍
piece looked great
The round support is not obsessed with mebranen strong that covers if it is not filled from within, because the resin is used only on the surface, anyway nice
Good Deal Good Job....hope all works out fine
Thanks bro. Now i wish i had the right tools ha!
i see that you made a negative mold but didnt use that mold to make a replica of the kick panel, instead you just used the neg mold as the panel... correct? shouldn't you have used the mold to make a replica? to be exact..
Yes correct, and he didn't strengthen the fleece with fiberglass. Just resin 😄
haha cooking spray that's brilliant. way faster than waxing I did back in da day
Nice video. Any tips for getting around the emergency break on GM and other vehicles?
I made some that got in the way of the e brake would like to see some made or how to make some.
