here are the other pics that i promised all of you, the other thread was getting kinda long so i hope the mods dont mind me making a new one... like i said before guys the only time i used the measuring tape was for the rectangle piece on the top... the others were all templated first using cardboard then traced onto wood then cut then trimmed... its all a fitting process from what you want and what you think looks good... for anyone thats thinking about doing something similar just BE PATIENT!!! kick back a couple beers and have fun doing what you're doing, it will all be worth it in the end... good luck everyone!

thanks for the compliment bro and i really wish i had measurements to share with the community... my camera took a shit on me when i had planned to take pics along the way and i just borrowed my brothers today to get some more pics for the community... i really wish i could offer more to supramania with a detailed step by step but i cant... its easier to make the front of the box first and the top and sides will fall into place... again i apologize for not having measurements and not being able to offer more to the community thats helped me so much with the project... but i hope the pics will help you guys out..

So wait...you took the padding out of the seat part of the BS and used it as the floor? o_O why not just cover the floor in carpet? I guess to make it somewhat flat? I don't get it--oh well.

Back to what I was saying in the last thread about sealing the center section to use it as a woofer-box. I think if I use enough silicone and do it straight to the metal floor of the car, it'll seal well enough for the time being. Soon enough it'll all be fiberglass anyway!

Thanks for the great pics! May start mine tomorrow :)

What is the advantage of this? Any weight loss?


Some...but, to me, the covered storage is a big plus. You can mount speakers in the front panel, put a sub-woofer inside, and hide your amp with assess to it.

looks a lot cleaner, opens up some storage space, hidden if you want. i plan on stashing my audio gear there to keep it away from all the rattly stuff in the back. id guess it'd have a small effect on the curb weight of the car, but if you use enough mdf itll still be around the same weight.

i like it for the storage space... plus no one in their right mind would be comfy sitting back there anyway so fuck it... its looks 283740182374098 better than it did with seats back there and now i have somewhere to hide my deck face.. right now im trying to figure out a way to lock the damn thing so i can stick my steering wheel inthere when i remove it...

not my thing, but your craftsmanship is very nice.
come on, how hard can it be to get a tape and measure it for your boys here on "the mania"!
unless you just don't like people doing what you do. there fore why even post it at all?

hahah its not even that, i have no secrets or anything and i posted it to simeply give people ideas... different people want different outcomes anyways, and if you read the first post it'll state that i dont have my tools with me, so even if i wanted to i couldn't take the measurements for you guys... i really wish i could give more info cause this community has helped me much more than supraforums or any other forum for that matter... i really would like to help but as of right now i cant do anything but give tips
