This is what I do for a living/use of my TS-75. You'll like this.

This is one of our latest sound systems and interiors we build. We use the TS-75 to cut the plexi because it's easier to bring the saw to the plastic than bring the plastic to the saw. We also use the 125EQ sander on the forming. I still can't find pics of the build but I'll keep looking. BTW this Blazer was bare metal inside when it came to us.

Dude, can you pimp my box van, Festool green?  Nice work, is that your personal vehicle or a clients? Eric

Bill,

I've had occasion to use both tools (TS-75 and ES-125) as well as RO-125 on plexiglass. I have only used the standard TS-75 blade, but haven't done enough work to identify the best saw settings and techniques. Since you do this on a regular basis, I would appreciate any recommendations you have for blades, abrasives, accessories and tool settings.

I've only used the blade which came with my TS-75. As far as sanding plexi goes, DON"T start with 80 grit. You'll spend more time sanding that grit out than you will spend sanding the marks from the origonal cut. I start with 180, then i go to 220, 320, 400, 800 THen I use a set up with the Beal 3 wheel buffing set up. Tripoly, White Diamond and Carnuba wax.  This will turn it very transparent. By starting with the higher grit paper, it'll go pretty fast.

I can pimp anything you got. I even have a long travel sandcar Festool green. I wish it was my Blazer. I did get my Hayabusa from him though.

Bill,

You are very good, very good at what you do.

One question, with the speakers pointed up on the blazer. Isn't the owner concerned about killing birds as he drives about? ;D

Eiji

 

[Bill Wyko]

No bird problems, but it will make nice sunny sky's. ;D Part clouds like butta.

Bill, when you say him do you mean X to the Z and if you do you will be seriously dating yourself.  Thanks for not putting a flatscreen underneath the car , Eric

Amazing. I loaded your webpage and was bumpin' while reading this thread. I was wondering about weather proofing those speakers. Do you need to worry about it where your from (rain), or is it more of a show than go vehicle. Now you need to pimp a Sequoia, or Tundra. Great work Gold Member.

Based on what Bill said above, if you get rain on the speakers just turn up the volume a little and it'll vaporize the water. Turn it up a lot and it'll drive the clouds away.

Jeez.

I don't need any bass, the pictures alone knocked my socks off.

Amazing.

Thanks Guys. There is a hard top for the Blazer but it's not painted or upholstered yet. Another bonus, it doesn't fit in his garage so we get to keep it at my shop most of the time. Makes a great sales tool. ;D BTW it has a Blown small block too. I'll get pics today. I want you all to know too. This vehicle isn't used to drive through neighborhoods cranked up, pissing off people. It mostly for shows and going to Rocky Point Mexico beaches. I do stress to my customers to respect the people around them.

Yeah, with a blown small block, it just aint as cool pushing your truck while your bumpin. I used to be one of those bumpin' people. My favorite sub was a JL ws6. I can remember pulling up to a grocery store and you could see their security monitor shaking inside the store.

 

[Bill Wyko]

Here ya go. ;D

 

[robtonya]

OH....blown. Thats nice. For some reason I was thinking blown like blown up. I should of known better though. With everything else perfect on this truck, I just should of known.

 

[dltflt]

Dude your work is amazing.  Hey I have a Tundra

 

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks Don. Next time I build some custom doors or a box, I'll do an exclusive step by for FOG members only. I,ll post it in off topic to keep it exclusive. The next doors I need to build are going to be for an early 80s chevy truck. The techniques I use are gaurded secrets but I think some of you might enjoy a project like this. we should be starting in a week or so.

Really excellent Bill. What about power requirements, do you install extra batteries and alternators? does the vehicle have to arrive with them or do you do whatever mechanicals you have to in-house? Really looking forward to a tutorial. I've always liked custom interiors.
