Default Started My Custom Side Box Today

Got most of the bottom done today. Here are some pics to start with. My buddy is really good at doing this sort of thing so he is teaching me the ropes.

Starting point

Amazing tape job lol


All masked off!


Tin foiled off for ease of removal

That stupid cubby ended up being a red herring. After getting the box out and trimmed down i wouldn't be able to have almost any top to the box. I trimmed it off and sorta started over. Here is the rough remake. Need to add a few more layers and trim but it is 1000x easier to remove and i gained the lost cubby volume with the higher walls.
