I started with build of a-pillars
rings were cut on CNC and then chamfered behind the driver cutout and also in front.

Terrter will be held by neo magnets - 4 pc for each tweet
Before start, rings were soaked with poliester resin. This asure that bond with filler and MDF will be as strong as possible and wont crack where two materials meet.

Original upholstery material was stripped down from pillars. Pillars were sanded, drilled a bunch of holes in and covered in three layers of rowing/mat and trimmed.

back side of pillar will recieve additional layer of fiberglass to create a Sanwich of Fiberglass/ABS/Fiberglass
a part of pillar at the bottom is without fiberglass applyed

Next task was to mold together this bottom part and pillar

A mix or resin and filler with strands were used to make milkshake which was used to "glue" this two parts together

Large opening on the pillar was created to obtain enough unobstructed air-flow for midrange to vent under the dash. All original pillar fastening spots were preserved
