ok i get how to make custom fiberglass things but how do you mount them on the door panel or dash. my ford f150 has clips built into the panel. could i just use the current panel and put the fiberglass over that?
nice n tidy looks factory but better liking the vinyl to i`m doing a clio mk1 door at the mo with vibe black air 6 components with the crossover on show and a tweeter pod on the piller or door dunno yet but nice 1 man
@mikelovesbass09 Do you have any pictures or a movie of this, cos i wanted to take off the small panels where rubbish and crap usually goes, and instead build a custom panel to run some speakers seeing seeing as the speakers on a mk1 clio are very small and crap. How much would this cost to do in £'s/$'s???
@paul291190 not alot i did pretty much what you did in this vid but just pods for my speakers so it looks trick but i can take them back to standard in a flash man your car is sexylisious tho sound cost me like nuffin just time
Great job, the woodwork is what helped the final product look so good. I've been a installer for 15 years and can attest that you wont find a better job from anyone.
Great Vid. One thing though. How did you mount the final product to the door panel? Did you use screws, if so where did you create the holes and where did you screw it into?
very cool project...if i decided to do something like this, would i need to fiberglass both sides, or just put resin on the backside so the front will stick better to it right? thanks!
@headstrong569 Thats right, about 3 coats of resin direct to the cotton cloth and then 3 or 4 layers of fiberglass mat and resin on the backside. It makes easier to sand the front for a smooth finish.
Hey So does the Cotton cloth become a part of the new mould and what about the wooden frames do those stay or get removed at a later stage? i am new to this hence the questions could seem dumb but need to understand
@theblueoyster after the cloth is stapled to the frame, you apply the resin and let it harden, then you add the fiberglass cloth and resin. the wooden frame is left for strength and to have somewhere to screw it to the door panel from the inside.
@hamacaman can I ask where u purchased the viny? I have found nothing but thick cheap non flexabile vinyl everywhere i order from ,,,I would appreciate your help
are you asking how to make a fiberglass door? Like the outside and all? That is a little bit more involved but its just fiberglass. If you get practice with fiberglass then you wont have a problem making most things with fiberglass
great tutorial, I cant think of anything closer to do to my old school C3. Just one question, how do you mount the panel, I can't see any screw holes on the final result. You did a good Job.
thanks for the coment. I used 3/4" screw to attach the panel to the door from behind, so no screw heads are visible from the vynil side of the fiberglass panel, ist very easy to install, just use screw from behind that wont pass trough all the way to the front, just the necesary length.
I have a MKII Golf and I want to do something like this and your video has been the most help so far. Thank you and great job, everything looks awesome!

Hey man...Nice video! Now as you know you really find any headliners for the mk2s anymore...I just got one with my latest shell...Now it's made of pretty frail foam so I was thinking of doing a fiber mold and hopefully be able make one correct so it would be able to fit and strong enough to last. Any ideas on how?
wow, now thats a tough one. The only way it could be done (that i can think of) is making a "fake" headliner using cotton cloth and afther its installed in the car aply directly fiberglass resin, 2 or 3 coats, one at a time and let it dry.....nex tke it of and aply more fiberglass resin and fiberglass cloth to get it even harder, then sanding and upholstering will be in order. Any good upholsterer can make you the headliner out of cotton cloth. Let me know how it turns out.
how should i go about making a fender or a mudguard for a bike, would i need any framework in the piece or just something to mould it over? how much would it cost to get all the kit to make fibreglass peices too? thanks
Que Buen trabajo! Parece que fue hecho en la fabrica. Muchas gracias por compartir esta informacion. Ahora me siento listo para tratar de hacer mi carro. Solo tengo yo dos preguntas. Do you recommend using any sound deadening material in the enclosures, and Did you end sealing off the old speaker hole?
Mis puertas tienen un material a prueba de sonido (en algunas de las fotos se puede ver con un forro color rojo), el panel no es sellado, de hecho se aprecia que le corte un hueco cuadrado para que el medio rango "respire" en toda la puerta ya que de lo contrario el espacio de aire que tendria el panel sellado seria muy poco y el sonido se distorcionaria.
Look for boat making companys or any other big company that makes 24/7 figerglass products.
If they are nice enough, they can sell "small" batch of resin, hardener and cloth for thousand times cheaper than some autozone or other ripoff places.
I found one company that makes truck cabinets out of fg. Price for materials is so much cheaper than anywhere else I have seen here where I live. 10 liters of acetone for only 5€ and 30€ for 10liter of resin and 1kg hardener.
I think this is the most comun question i have recibe since i uploaded this video, the answare is simple....i screw it from behind trough the holes were the original door maps were screwed, i used 5/8 crome screws, the tip doens´t come out in the front since i used 3/4" thick MDF for the frame of the panels.
No, yo no use bondo por que por la parte del frente (la vista) solo aplique varias capas de resina y es muy facil de lijar y alisar, queda muy bien, el bondo se utiliza cuado aplicas la tela de fibra de vidrio con la resina y luego la tienes que lijar, ahi si tienes que usar bondo por que es muy dificil de dejar bien lisa la fibra ya endurecida. Por eso yo solo la aplico por la parte de atras, en estos panels le di 3 capas de la tela con la resina por atras adicional a las 3 de resina del frente
De nada brother, para servirte, otro tip que te puede servir es otra de las razones por las que trato siempre de usar solo la tela de fibra de vidrio y la resina por la parte de adentro o interna a las piezas es por que cuando lijas la tela de fibra ya enduresida pica mucho en la piel, en cambio si solo lijas la parte que tiene la tela de camiseta con la resina no pica para nada, asi que siempre trato de aplicar la tela de fibra por atras unica y esclusivamente, ya que esto le da mucha fuerza.
Se atornillan los panels por detras por los mismos huecos por donde pasaban los tornillos que sostenian los portamapas originales, utilizando la medida de largo correcta no atraviezan todo el panel, si no se verian las puntas de los tornillos por la parte del frente y romperian el vinil. Saludos.
se puede usar pintura en spray, primero "praymer" o "primer" que es la base gris para que se agarre bien la pintura y despues el color que tu quieras, o tambien se lo llevas a un pintor automotriz, pero sale un poco mas caro, aunque no mucho por que son piezas pequeñas.
I fiberglassed the back part (the inner part), on the front wich is the part that you aply the vinyl y just aply 3 or 4 coats or the fiberglass resin, but not the fiberglass mat because this way you can sand it and wont itch, besides it leaves a smoother surface to work with. If you put the fiberglass mat and resin on the fron, it will be a pain in the but when sanding.
what country do you live? If it is hte US autozone carries all the material, or a local hardaware stor, get in the yellow pages of your city and you will find someone who sells it.
First i just lay about 3 - 4 layers of resin in the front (the part that is going to be upholstered) and after is fully dry then i aply 3 - 4 coats of fiberglass mat in the back side. This way is very easy to sand the front of the panel and the finish is so much smooth, plus the resin does not itch you when you sand it, but the fiberglass mat with the resin...damn!!!
i've got a tip to stop that. before you start grinding or sanding at the new fibreglass coat your arms in talc powder or baby powder. sounds stupid but and makes you look pretty weird but if it stops that itching who cares. nice vid too btw
as a car audio installer i think that you have done a very neat job. well done! i used to do a very similar trick but with a 6 4 and tweeter with a removable grill which had stone flek on the bessel!! how times have changed!
Por fuera (la parte que se forra en vinil) solo lleba unas 3 capas de la resina de fibra de vidrio, ya que tiene esas capas bien secas por la parte de atras que no se ve le doy 3 capas de la tela de fibra de vidrio con la resina, esto por 2 razones, la primera es que al usar en la parte de adelante solo resina es mucho mas facil de lijar, tiene menos irregularidades y sobre todo LA RESINA NO PICA AL LIJARLA!!!! Cuando lijas la tela (o malla, como le quieras llamar) con la resina es lo que pica.
I used 3/4" screw trough the door panel into the MDF frame of the custom fiberglass door panle. The way the original door map holders were installed from the factory.
best speakers they're a little expensive one 8mind cost 169.99 eo but that depends on what type and size but only w four speakers you gonna be louder than someone with 8 or even 12 speakers, take a look on my videos or type beyma
Thanks. I know the beyma brand, but never have the oportunity to listen to those speakers and subwoofers, are they good? Compared to what other brand to give me and idea? The company has little or no presence in Mexico unfortunetly. Some gusy sell the brand over webpages here in mexico, its the onlu way to get them, no real dealers. :(
mine have to tabs that go under my door panels an have 2 screws an my map holder has 6 screws that show. i figured i can make the tabs work. jus gotta think of how to secure the bottom part of the box. thanks for helpin me!!
Mine also has 2 brakets, you can see 2 holes were the brakets are inserted in the video at 2:30 with the mapholders removed. If i wat to install the original mapholders those holes still works just fine. Let me know how it turn up yours. Good luck.
No worry man. Thats correct, you have to screw it from behind the original door panel to the MDF frame of the new fiberglass door panel. That´s how y did it and thats how my original door mapholders come attached from the factory. Hope that helps.
well, its very easy, the MDF frame that acts as the base of the door panels is 3/4", thats were you are gona fix the screws, so depending how thick is your original door panel you can select the screw length that you need, for exemple, if your original coor panel is 1/4" thick and the fiberglass door panel frame is 3/4" you can use 3/4" screws and wont show up in the front. Hope that helps.
te quedaron muy bien, yo pensaba q solo se podia hacer con lycra, pero vi q con algodon t quedo excelente.por cierto. tengo un camaro 80, pero los paneles stan muy jodidos. me recomiendas hacerlos de fibrade vidrio? salu2
que tal. Pues si sabes trabajar la fibra de vidrio adelante, otra opcion seria llevarlo con alguien que sepa trabajr la fibra de vidrio y luego con un buen tapicero, pero pues hay una ultima opcion que es lo que yo haria en tu caso con un auto asi...hay una empresa en EU que vende TODAS las piezas que te puedas imaginar para camaros, entre otros autos, lo malo es que esta algo caro, en dolares y tienes que pagar envio a mexico (o a donde vivas) te paso la pagina
Sale, necesito un chalan, estoy haciendo un cajon de fibra para un vocho :) Luego subo el video de como quedo, pero apenas voy comenzando, calculo una semana mas.
thans man, if i had the luck of living in the US i swear i´ll be a pro installer too, unfortunately you can´t live of this here in mexico, people just dont pay fro a good installer and prefer to pay coins to wannabes, often with terrible results. Regards.
por los oyos que dejan los portamapas originales, atornillas el armazon con pijas de 3/8. Estoy vendiendo estos panels por que voy a meter a competir mi jetta a un concurso de estetica y lo quiero 100% de fabrica, los quieres? Si eres de mexico 750 pesos mas envio, a me dices, saludos.
the cloth or cotton cloth, where do you get that from or what would i ask for at lets say home depot? well what i mean is would the know what i am talking about?
the cotton cloth is a cheap 3 dolar t shirt i got from my local grocery store, the fiberglas ressin and everything else you can find it at autozone for example at the paint department
yeah, well, at the time a did the door panels i wasnt thinking in uploading a how to here in youtube, but now im gonna take more pictures and even some video of the installs i do for my friends. I´m about to make a custom fiberglass subwoofer box for a frind´s 2001 VW beetle turbo, it will showcase 2 subwoofers, an amp and its gona be painted to match the color of the car, check it out in the near future, i´ll say 3 weeks from now. Thanks for the comment.
the cotton cloth is a cheap 3 dolar t shirt i got from my local grocery store, the fiberglas ressin and everything else you can find it at autozone for example at the paint department
hamacaman thanks for this video you dont blep out a bunch of parts i can fiberglass soso and want to do my door panels but couldnt find any cloths at the stores they kept trying to sell me resin mats the tshirt is a good ideal thanks
Very nice job! I'm trying to fix up my door panels on a 95 Infiniti g20, but the more I work on it, the worse it looks. This will definitely help me. Can anyone tell me how I can spray fiberglass on the panels? Can I get that in a can or something? :) Thanks for any info.
well, i never have sprayed fiberglas before and i dont think it exist on a can, but if you want t try you can prepare the fiberglass resin and pour it on a spray gun, but i have to tell you, once the fiberglass starts to harden it will mess up the spray gun, so use a very cheap one so you can trow to the trash later. Good luck man.
Thank You Hamacaman, I really appreciate the tip. I never worked with fiberglass before, that's why I'm so green.:) I hope it works out and looks half as good as yours. You did a beautiful job!!
you can use other cloths as long as they are elastic up to some point, but avoid lycra for example or hevy nylon contents because it can melt and desintegrate due the fiber glass resin. I´ve seen guys using speaker cloth (the one used in home speakers and works just fine too, but i personaly use cotton because is a lot cheaper and easy to use, just buy a 3 dolar t-shirt and cut it, that´s what i did in this proyect. Hope that helps.

You can also see the texture of the vinyl ;-)
Paint doesn't leave a surface like that, you would either see:
a) the texture of the wood underneath
or
b) if you've sanded the wood down you will get a smooth shiny surface on the paint (depending on which paint you use of course)
Yes in the video the surface has shine but it also has that characteristic vinyl texture.

otra pregunta , en tu video despues de la resina no usaste el famoso, bondo, cuando es necesario y cuando no aplicar el bondo ?
eh mirado videos aki en youtube donde despues de la resina, usan bondo, luego primer y luego pintura.....
tu no usaste bondo?
mayorga22 2 years ago
No, yo no use bondo por que por la parte del frente (la vista) solo aplique varias capas de resina y es muy facil de lijar y alisar, queda muy bien, el bondo se utiliza cuado aplicas la tela de fibra de vidrio con la resina y luego la tienes que lijar, ahi si tienes que usar bondo por que es muy dificil de dejar bien lisa la fibra ya endurecida. Por eso yo solo la aplico por la parte de atras, en estos panels le di 3 capas de la tela con la resina por atras adicional a las 3 de resina del frente

ahora si que me estas llevando ala escuela en esta area........muchas gracias por tus respuestas amigo.
mayorga22 2 years ago
De nada brother, para servirte, otro tip que te puede servir es otra de las razones por las que trato siempre de usar solo la tela de fibra de vidrio y la resina por la parte de adentro o interna a las piezas es por que cuando lijas la tela de fibra ya enduresida pica mucho en la piel, en cambio si solo lijas la parte que tiene la tela de camiseta con la resina no pica para nada, asi que siempre trato de aplicar la tela de fibra por atras unica y esclusivamente, ya que esto le da mucha fuerza.

es un muy buen video.
ok as fabricado el marco de madera, el aro y luego con la tela que usaste para finalmente aplicar resina, varias veces.
cuando terminaste la piesa.
como esta la piesa montada al panel de la puerta?
mayorga22 2 years ago
Se atornillan los panels por detras por los mismos huecos por donde pasaban los tornillos que sostenian los portamapas originales, utilizando la medida de largo correcta no atraviezan todo el panel, si no se verian las puntas de los tornillos por la parte del frente y romperian el vinil. Saludos.

muchas gracias por la respuesta.......soy nuevo en esta onda de la resina.....
alomejor si me animo a hacer mi primer project/experimento para aher unos paneles para mi trucka.
despues de la recina que tipo de pintura se puede usar, pintura de spray de algun tipo en especial?
checka mis videos
mayorga22 2 years ago
se puede usar pintura en spray, primero "praymer" o "primer" que es la base gris para que se agarre bien la pintura y despues el color que tu quieras, o tambien se lo llevas a un pintor automotriz, pero sale un poco mas caro, aunque no mucho por que son piezas pequeñas.

Ok did you fiber glass the top part to or just the bottum??
skateforeverb 2 years ago
I fiberglassed the back part (the inner part), on the front wich is the part that you aply the vinyl y just aply 3 or 4 coats or the fiberglass resin, but not the fiberglass mat because this way you can sand it and wont itch, besides it leaves a smoother surface to work with. If you put the fiberglass mat and resin on the fron, it will be a pain in the but when sanding.

when you staple the cloth to the frame , do you just coat it in resin , or fiberglass mat aswell
fairlaneguy82 2 years ago
First i just lay about 3 - 4 layers of resin in the front (the part that is going to be upholstered) and after is fully dry then i aply 3 - 4 coats of fiberglass mat in the back side. This way is very easy to sand the front of the panel and the finish is so much smooth, plus the resin does not itch you when you sand it, but the fiberglass mat with the resin...damn!!!
hamacaman 2 years ago
i've got a tip to stop that. before you start grinding or sanding at the new fibreglass coat your arms in talc powder or baby powder. sounds stupid but and makes you look pretty weird but if it stops that itching who cares. nice vid too btw

una pregunta solo pones la resina capa por capa o usas tambn la malla q viene
andyelkiller 2 years ago
Por fuera (la parte que se forra en vinil) solo lleba unas 3 capas de la resina de fibra de vidrio, ya que tiene esas capas bien secas por la parte de atras que no se ve le doy 3 capas de la tela de fibra de vidrio con la resina, esto por 2 razones, la primera es que al usar en la parte de adelante solo resina es mucho mas facil de lijar, tiene menos irregularidades y sobre todo LA RESINA NO PICA AL LIJARLA!!!! Cuando lijas la tela (o malla, como le quieras llamar) con la resina es lo que pica.

How exactly do you fasten the custom panel onto the door?
kx125rider8 2 years ago
I used 3/4" screw trough the door panel into the MDF frame of the custom fiberglass door panle. The way the original door map holders were installed from the factory.

Thanks. I know the beyma brand, but never have the oportunity to listen to those speakers and subwoofers, are they good? Compared to what other brand to give me and idea? The company has little or no presence in Mexico unfortunetly. Some gusy sell the brand over webpages here in mexico, its the onlu way to get them, no real dealers. :(

mine have to tabs that go under my door panels an have 2 screws an my map holder has 6 screws that show. i figured i can make the tabs work. jus gotta think of how to secure the bottom part of the box. thanks for helpin me!!
dszx13 2 years ago
Mine also has 2 brakets, you can see 2 holes were the brakets are inserted in the video at 2:30 with the mapholders removed. If i wat to install the original mapholders those holes still works just fine. Let me know how it turn up yours. Good luck.
hamacaman 2 years ago
so ur sayin screw it in from behind the door? sorry for the questions!
dszx13 2 years ago
No worry man. Thats correct, you have to screw it from behind the original door panel to the MDF frame of the new fiberglass door panel. That´s how y did it and thats how my original door mapholders come attached from the factory. Hope that helps.
hamacaman 2 years ago
how did you mount your fiberglass box to the door? i wanna do the same to my f150. i jus dont know how to mount it with out screws showin.
dszx13 2 years ago
well, its very easy, the MDF frame that acts as the base of the door panels is 3/4", thats were you are gona fix the screws, so depending how thick is your original door panel you can select the screw length that you need, for exemple, if your original coor panel is 1/4" thick and the fiberglass door panel frame is 3/4" you can use 3/4" screws and wont show up in the front. Hope that helps.

te quedaron muy bien, yo pensaba q solo se podia hacer con lycra, pero vi q con algodon t quedo excelente.por cierto. tengo un camaro 80, pero los paneles stan muy jodidos. me recomiendas hacerlos de fibrade vidrio? salu2
azaotl 2 years ago
que tal. Pues si sabes trabajar la fibra de vidrio adelante, otra opcion seria llevarlo con alguien que sepa trabajr la fibra de vidrio y luego con un buen tapicero, pero pues hay una ultima opcion que es lo que yo haria en tu caso con un auto asi...hay una empresa en EU que vende TODAS las piezas que te puedas imaginar para camaros, entre otros autos, lo malo es que esta algo caro, en dolares y tienes que pagar envio a mexico (o a donde vivas) te paso la pagina

Very nice job! I'm trying to fix up my door panels on a 95 Infiniti g20, but the more I work on it, the worse it looks. This will definitely help me. Can anyone tell me how I can spray fiberglass on the panels? Can I get that in a can or something? :) Thanks for any info.
plsniper 2 years ago
well, i never have sprayed fiberglas before and i dont think it exist on a can, but if you want t try you can prepare the fiberglass resin and pour it on a spray gun, but i have to tell you, once the fiberglass starts to harden it will mess up the spray gun, so use a very cheap one so you can trow to the trash later. Good luck man.
hamacaman 2 years ago
Thank You Hamacaman, I really appreciate the tip. I never worked with fiberglass before, that's why I'm so green.:) I hope it works out and looks half as good as yours. You did a beautiful job!!

you have to use cotton clouth or it can be something else?
spvconcord 2 years ago
you can use other cloths as long as they are elastic up to some point, but avoid lycra for example or hevy nylon contents because it can melt and desintegrate due the fiber glass resin. I´ve seen guys using speaker cloth (the one used in home speakers and works just fine too, but i personaly use cotton because is a lot cheaper and easy to use, just buy a 3 dolar t-shirt and cut it, that´s what i did in this proyect. Hope that helps.
