First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I used to work at a stereo shop, and the typical route for building a speaker pod like you are describing is to make a bracket to hold the speaker at the angle you want, usually out of wood, and then form the rest of the pod with cloth. Paint the cloth with a couple coats of fiberglass resin. If the angles aren't too extreme you can then cover the whole thing with vinyl. I suppose you could take the whole dash pad core, build up the pod like you want it, and then get it covered in the material of your choice. I did a quick google search for 'fiberglass speaker enclosure' and it turned up several sites explaining the process.

Thanks to everyone for the wiper washer nozzle and rear license plate bracket info. I have a new question. I bought a pair of Infinity 3.5-inch speakers that I'd like to install in the front of my '68 Coupe. I'd rather not hack the kick panels or the door panels. I saw a Camaro (I think it was) on Barrett-Jackson that showed the speakers embedded in the dash pad at the base of each "A" pillar. I really like that solution, but I think they used a custom dash pad, and mine is stock. Has anyone on this list solved this problem before? I converted my car from an automatic to a 4-speed, and it currently doesn't not have a console (I kind of dig the sans console look).
