Re: Better kickpods in 60-66 Trucks

As I was building this first pod, I thought the 3/8" MDF was a bit thin, so I made a surround piece with 3/4" MDF, used a flush-trim bit and the backplate outline as a template. Here you can see the surround piece. I glued and crown nailed to the 3/8" piece. I also rounded over the outside edge for a better look.

Note:
There are many different ways to do this. I suppose you could use 3/4" MDF for the backplate (Or plywood - use whatever you have). I don't feel one way is better then another.
