Fiberglass---good price?
Saturday, July 08, 2006 6:23 PM
Well, my motor/turbo build are coming to a close and will be putting the motor back in soon, so I need to tackle the interior, then next year, I will do something special to the exterior while I am attending Wyotech. I will be doing a sub/nitrous bottle/amp enclosure trunk setup, I dont have it completely planned out yet so I am not sure hhow large or if I will include everything. I will be doing my door panels for sure, and possibly the dashtop. I havent decided yet, but I may put a gauge pod ontop of the dash, kind of like where the new grandam air vents are, so they are pointing towards the driver. I thought about getting a junk grandam dashtop and cutting out that piece and glassing it ontop of my dash when I do the dash, but the air vents are too large for 2 1/16'th guages, so I will have to make a custom pod for 3 gauges. Anyway, do you think that a gallon would be enough for those projects?? The next question is, I have been price quoting, went to a Marina, they were selling it for like 60 a gallon, resin this is. THen I went to Keystone Autobody Supply, they had it for like 44 a gallon. Of course I could get bondo brand for like 25 a gallon, which I am staying away from, I will do it right the first time so I dont have to do crap over again. Then I found a bodyshop that gets it in bulk, 30 gallon barrels I think he said, and he could give it to me for 30 a gallon, this is quality resin. I thought this was a great deal, but I have to bring him my own gallon container. Do you guys think this is a good price??

its about what you'd find in a store. youlle need more then a gallon. probably 3-4 gallons for all of that. and fiberglass goes bad like anything else, so dont bother buying it till your ready to start.
