Mark, I'm an installer at a shop and I've never had any formal training on fiberglassing techniques. Long story short, we don't have anyone at the shop that's good at fiberglass work and by following your videos closely, I've successfully been able to complete fiberglass projects at my shop. My shop has tools I don't personally own, such as the router table, and just that one step alone has helped me take my installs to the next leve. Thank you for your dedication and your knowledge. Cheers!
I'm actually an upholstery guy and I've been watching your new videos for a while now and I just started watching the older ones to see what I've missed and they're very informative as well!
Thank you, I do my best to make them easy to follow, and to show products that the average DIY’er can afford. Thanks for viewing and the rates and comments, I see on your channel you watch a lot of my videos, thanks man!
You asked for comments, so PLEASE take this as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I LOVE these doors and the designs. I don't care for the suede, but the vinyl looks really great. I also love the look of the mid-range, but the tweeter looks cheap for such an amazing, custom application. Thanks for your continuing motivation for custom installs!
I'm building a Factory 5-33 Hot Rod.... VERY tight quarters for adding audio. Just this series alone has helped me think through some real issues I'm facing. You can bet I will be scouring your site for more info. JUST GREAT... Thank you!!!! Nick
Well done! This video is now 6 years old. It's very interesting to see how your work has evolved over the years and the quality has improved. But the quality was very good in 2013. It is several degrees better now in 2019.
Hey great job! I am finishing my Lambo Diablo dash door panels and console. We got shut down by Audi for manufacturing Replicas and this was a huge help. My upholstery guy died in the middle of the last car so this has been good fortune to find your video sir!
Mark, I want to give you big thanks. I've been doing car audio as a hobby for almost 20 years and now I'm getting a little more serious about it. I am a cabinet builder and trim carpenter by trade. Thinking about opening a fabrication shop but I'm doing my truck first... It's a f350 diesel. Just started wiring and building a amp rack this past weekend. Getting really excited, but also want to take my time and do it perfect... To wrap things up... Big thanks to your videos they are really giving me those "tricks to the trade" that I needed to sharpen my skills. THANKS JFLEX
I definitely like how it maintains the factory look. I've used alot of your tips and techniques on my most recent build and usually come to this channel when I'm having a bit of builders block myself. Always have great ideas
Even 6 years (nearly)on, your videos are excellent. Been trying to catch up with your work. All strength to you. Your workmanship is commendable. Ta, cheers, peter from Australia
Im a manager for Audio Express. After watching all your fg door pod videos, my install crew turned out a pod build that will set us apart from all the 10k local shops we have here. My client $#!& in his pants when I demoed the car. He said this was the most perfected job he ever got. Thanks for all your time and detail you put into all your videos. With comments I got today, Im a very happy Mgr. Thanks
I needed this vid Mark!!! 7 years later and a very helpful series. About to wrap mine once the A-pillar/dash pods are done. Waiting on chop mat and SMD SunFlash!!!
Your so talented and I am always amazed at your final fabrication projects overall quality n visual appeal. I’m inspired to start my interior project with full custom car stereo installation. I’ve been building and customizing every vehicle I’ve owned since I was 15 years old. Each one gets better and cleaner every time. But I’ve never stepped up my game to include the interior and electrical until I found your channel. I’m hooked and you’ve got my support here on out Mr Mark!
I think your door pods came out crazy clean. You make it look easy, if took me a few days to complete a pair of pods from start to finish but they came out clean thanks to your videos
very informative and educational. i have a '93 civic with some door panel "issues" and your videos have really motivated me to build my own custom inserts and panels. Thanks very much!
I've been doing fabrication for about 8 years now. I do most of my work on Trackor rigs, and 1 ton trucks. I got to hand it to you, you did a pretty good job. This job makes you look like a pro. Nice clean edges, no crinkles. Man this is a nice job. I might have you do my truck since I don't have the time.
What a great idea you’ve done such a great job and gotta tell you... you have made a huge success of your talent, so big thumbs up !!! But sharing this as you have is truly a gift you’re giving a lot of ppl who may have chosen this over bad life choices. Bravo!!!!
This looks awesome. Looking forward to the summer when I'll have the time to do my fabricating. Thanks for doing this door pod playlist. Extremely helpful!
It's awesome to see how you take your time from the first video to now and going forward it really gives me confidence that I can do it as well thanks a mill for the videos
Beautiful work. I remember working with a heat activated spray glue. After applying to both sides, The heat gun would activate the glue, and the heat makes the vinyl more pliable.
Hey Mark thanks for the grate learning curve. It learning me alot as I'm already started on my ranger door panels a few months back I builded my own router table just to do all of your stencils ideas so that I can get my door panels and my sub inclusions done thanks 👍
This videos have been what i was looking for clearly explained. Now i'm ready to try and make my door pods Thanks for the videos can't wait to see how you mount the panel
I'm truly inspired by your work. I especially got fired up when you did your dad's car. Him and I are around the same age. So I thought why not. I've a couple questions. I would love to get opinion on my build plan. You are truly a professional. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and skills.
Love your videos! I am just learning about fabrication, been researching for the past couple of months and I literally check youtube everyday waiting for more of your videos. I love the detailed descriptions!
I think they look amazing, it's because of these videos that you do that I've purchased some equipment and actually made a set of component rings for the first time. I even had to chuckle a little bit when re-watching these videos because I realized I also purchased the same set of components you're using in the videos.
I know this video is old but I just started watching your channel a couple years ago and I have to say, AMAZING JOB! They look so clean and really look like they belong and not a funky custom crap job
Man every time I watch the videos on the pods I change my mind on how I want mine to look. Thanks again for this great vids I wouldn't have any idea on how to even being to start without them. Keep them coming.
Watched the series, you have given me the confidence to take the next step in my customization of my 2013 RAM1500 thank you. I will refer to you videos to complete my door panels.
thanks for giving me a better under standing on just what goes in to custom work. i can now appricate custom installs more now as it allows me to see just how much work goes into sum cars. thank you very much
I have been loving the videos, I have redesigned mine 3 times and have just stopped till I have seen your finished product. Love them gives me a much better Idea for my 03 F150 Keep them coming. Nice Nice lay out looks even better than I was imagining.

Truly appreciate all of these videos....you break EVERY step down and make a daunting task manageable. Very much looking forward to trying out your process!
These look great. I have a love/hate relationship with these door pillar speakers I'm working on, and I've picked up a lot of construction tips on this entire series.
I’ve been wanting to build speaker pods for my door O2 lightning for a long time now I think I’m gonna buy an extra set instead of using the original ones And get started. Mark you are my freaking hero. You build some off the wall In a good way but top notch out of the park and then some just sweet stuff man. I am the same way. Pay attention to detail I like for things to be noticed without being noticed if that makes sense
I've watched all your videos including the door panel series and I have to say you do an amazing job with all the videos. You explain the steps very well and give me confidence to take up a project on my own. I've been sharing your videos and website to everyone I know that's into audio and fabrication and they all have nothing but great things to say. Thank you very much for sharing with us.... I'm Looking forward to learning more from you.....
i really like your tutorials, your detail is on point, and explanations are great. i'm not a novice at fabrication, but i always learn something from each video. keep it up and you'll constantly grow
just re watched the whole series. great job! definitely inspired me to go a different rout with my door panels now! keep up the hard work and sharing the great tips!
Awesome video. I am going to try this. I think i may wrap the insert in a speaker grille cloth to hide speakers though. The techniques covered here are great. Thanks for taking the time to cover this in detail. Best video out there.
I don't like the design of the panels all too much, but you did a great job, they're very well built and your videos are by far the most helpfull ones on youtube.
