- Simple speaker panel build for our 1963 LS-swapped Buick Riviera project.
Welcome to (does stuff garage) - Today’s project we are building a DIY rear speaker/package shelf. Starting off by creating a cardboard template with length and width you need and then using the secret Uncle Matt Dad trick of using the back class curve to get you rear edge - you've now got yourself a pattern.

I used some cheap (crappy) plywood from our shed for the lower panel, but for the top piece that surrounds the speakers I used half inch thick MDF. I did this because MDF is very conisistent and provided great curves and edges after routing. Remember you can always use wood filler (bondo if you made a big mistake) and a belt sander here to fix the mistakes. I wanted to use materials from scratch to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a nice looking part if you're ok with a little extra elbow grease.
I use Morbern AllSport 4-Way stretch vinyls for almost every project for car interiors. I make custom consoles in my free time and its the only vinyl I've ever found that can do the complex curves and angles like a champ. While its a little pricey remember the yards are actually 54" wide. I'm using the standard black but they also have a high-tac version that is great from anything that gets wet on a boat and you don't want things to slide around.

For upholstery adhesive I don't recommend any glue besides DAP Weldwood Landua Top and Trim Adhesive - Nothing else comes close to this stuff and it's well worth it. So much better than 3M High Performance spray adhesive. If you don't wanna buy it by the gallon - call up your local upholstery shop and they will usually sell you a quart or two if you bring in a container.

For speakers I went with the cheapest on Amazon that didn't have grills that looked like they were from Cyperpunk 2077. They are Pioneer TS-F1634R 6.5" 200W 2-way speakers. I prefer the look of 6.5 inch speakers in a rear deck panel with the speakers exposed. If you conceal the speakers under a panel and cover it with grill cloth I prefer to use 6x9's but the choice is up to you!

Really well done honestly great attitude keep up the work on the project !👌👌
Thanks buddy! It’s a little cold here now but as things warm back up the projects thaw out. Cheers!
You are hysterical 😂 but nice job bro I'm really trying to modify my doors as well as my back then I need to get my super sundown tweeters put up and those will need to be modified as well so I enjoy watching you to learn so ty.
Awww thank you! And I’ve done speaker pods from everything it seems like haha. Fiberglass, sintra, glue and sawdust - you name it! Ironically it’s an in the works project but I’m doing a video using a wood panel but grafting a 3D printed pod onto and blending manually.
Very nice
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it. Lemme know if you have any questions or run into a snag and I’ll try to help

@@MatthewFinlay 67 Bel Air... back deck! I will follow your lead!
Love it. How much would you charge me to build me a speaker deck for a crown Vic wit 4 6x9 speaker slots and ship it to me?
killer consoles as well
Thanks buddy, I’m planning on doing a DIY for the consoles but they are so complicated it’s hard to find a balance of “yeah, build this” and not 3 hours long hahah
Yo could you cut the wood for a back deck and floor console and ship it to me?
Can u do some more videos on the 63 rivi
It’s on my to-do list! I’m making a set of custom door panels for it now and will be posting the video in a couple weeks. Also planning making a video on how we LS swapped it.
Kool thank you
