You making fun of my nuts???
Your big speakers and amps are going to sound good in these Curtis!

On to business...
So to finish up the main construction on the front hatches first I rough cut out the holes for the hatches with my narrow diamond bit tip.

Next, shaped them a little more with the grinder stone tip

Then I really smoothed them out with 120 to 400 sandpaper and laid it down on another piece of styrene and traced out the hatches.

Used the grinder stone again to grind away the excess around the trace being careful to keep a little extra around the trace line otherwise they would be too small.

Next did a little shimming on the hatch plate opening so the insert was flush with the rest of the deck.

Fits in nicely now and the hatches look close. I'm just going to thin them down a bit more as they still look a little thick.

Tonight the one that everyone has been waiting for how I'm going to change the angle of the sides!
