Made Kick Panels with Speakers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tvblazer78 · 07-05-2007, 10:23 PM

I made some kick panels with speakers today. I molded the stock kick panels with the new lower kick panels that I got from Cap, they have a 6" speaker hole in them. I put one more hole for a tweeter with some old PVC pip that I had at the house. Then I used fiberglass and cloth stretched over both of them. Did allot of sanding and then shot it with flat black paint for now. And here you go new kick panels. KOOL! I will later cover them in something. I can not make up my mind on how to do my interior at this time. Maybe I will make my mind up soon. Hope you like it.

Sweet! Would you mind posting some details of that on my forum for a write-up.

I hate to steal your thunder, but I can tell you from experience that they will probably crack. The fiberglass usually does not bond well to the plastic kick panels. If you plan to cover them though they will probably be fine. They do look good though.
