mazda6i07 fiberglass door pod build

[rival904 10+ year member]

Well, after being linked to my build thread with my door pods, Kris decided to come and drive up to Jacksonville, and drop his doors off, to replace his old pods which looked something like this....

Some call those pods, I call them a kinder gardeners project. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Pods off the doors.

I dont understand why they cut a big ass hole in the door, but whatever!

They kinda look like little smiley faces //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Taped up and matted down

All done

Only got about 2 layers of matte on each door before I ran out of both matte and resin //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif ill probally do another 2 layers tommorrow morning early.

That pod got some more trimming to make sure itd clear the dash.

Starting on some flush mount rings, got all 4 rings cut out, and my upcut bit broke in half.

No, thats where I set his doors when I was using the work bench for other things, like cutting the rings and what not.

EDIT - I got a storage unit I do about 90% of my work out of.
