I think it just might make it to the end of the build. it is showing signs of giving up, mostly visual, but it is still cutting good so i wont complain..

this is showing the hole that will be the center for the rear side marker light.. this was pre measured and drilled on both outside layers (as well as the front one but that one worked out well

it was supposed to line up with these holes in the inner wall to make wiring a snap should any access to them be needed due to light needing replacing or whatever.

but despite measuring twice and cutting once it didnt....

So instead of drilling new holes where the access holes are, ( was tired from a long day at this point and wasnt thinking, could say wasnt thinking clearly but the fact remains i plain just was not thinking at all).. i just inserted a drill bit from the outside, prayed and pulled the trigger...
this was the result after using the router to get some access.....

Now the reason this was needed to be done is i realised this after gluing it up with pl number something super duty stuff and poking about 30 screws in there to clamp it. dont have the clamp collection of a more experienced builder yet. but i do have plenty of epoxy putty filler stuff. No pic of the outside, but trust me there is alot of screws in it all countersunk nicely.
Now to hold the walls to the floor is a aluminum plate that is drilled and countersunk. it is broken into three parts per side due to the fenders mounting on u bolts. just seemed cleaner and more heavy duty than using washers, this will be getting some of the pl glue to help it hold as well.. the screws i will be using are stainless steel deck screws that will be drilled in then hand snugged to hopefully eliminate snappage..

these are the walls as they sit now.. just letting the glue fully do its thing. i thing this build was the most times i have lifted those weights since i got them. sad but true.



Now the insulation part.. yes i know for insulation that would qualify as a shoddy job at best. but. that insulation isnt there to make a cooler out of it, they are there (glued in with pl numbersomething) for sound deadening. when its done i want it to sound as solid as it is.


the inside walls and ceiling will also be covered in ozite (automotive carpet) have three rolls of black in the corner of the garage waiting to be chopped to bits and used


a new thing my white collar friend, instead of griping about having access to the garage he never uses actually showed some interest in what i was doing today.. at this rate i just might have a helper by 2010!

one question bout the hatch notch on the outside walls,, when making the hatch spars will i need to trace the outside line or the inner? seeing that i am on teardrop time i went ahead and cut a larger version of the piece just in case the humidity warped the original. the line used was the outside line
