Comrade Lao Du watched Du Chen gesture at the car door with the loudspeaker, and then gestured at the door panel for a while.
Du Chen turned to Comrade Lao Du and said, "Dad, please find me a pen so I can determine the location."
Comrade Lao Du hesitated for a moment and said to Du Chen, "Son, how about we change the door panels first? We can open the car door later?"
Du Chen looked at his father's troubled expression and suddenly realized that his father was still worried. If he changed the door panel first, even if it failed, he could still afford to replace it. But if he cut the door, it would be difficult to repair it later.
"Okay, Dad, let's make the door panel mold today. But you have to find me a pen. I have to determine the position before I can return the door panel."
"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you."
When Comrade Lao Du saw that his son did not object to his opinion, he happily went to find a pen.
Comrade Lao Du found a pen, and Du Chen gestured with the loudspeaker for a long time, finally determining the corresponding positions of the car door and the door panel, including the space for the loudspeaker inside the door panel, and began to work on the door panel.
Du Chen drew the position of the speaker on the door panel with a pen, turned around and began to direct Comrade Lao Du to take action.
"Dad, please bring the angle grinder over here and cut off this door panel I drew."
Things had progressed to this point, and Comrade Lao Du took the angle grinder without saying a word and started cutting the door panel.
After a while, Comrade Lao Du had finished cutting the door panels.
Du Chen took the cut door panel and installed it back on the car door. He looked at the position and found it was perfect.
Du Chen took the speaker again and placed it on the hole cut in the door panel. He looked at the height of the speaker and the space inside the door panel. There was no problem. The speaker was in enough position and would not rub against the door panel.
"Dad, look, let me explain. You need to first determine where the speaker will be installed on the door, and make sure it matches the door panel. The key is whether the space between the door panel and the door is thick enough for the speaker..."
Du Chen gestured to the location and explained to Comrade Lao Du, telling him why it should be installed here and what things to pay attention to.
Comrade Lao Du watched Du Chen explain while gesturing, and then he understood why Du Chen spent so much time. It looked simple, just the openings on the car door and door panel, but if one didn't pay attention to the position, angle and space, it would affect future use.
Du Chen explained for more than ten minutes, and seeing that his father had almost understood it, he was ready to start today's theme of making a car door mold.
Du Chen also took the door panel of the Crown, compared it with the door panel of the Jetta, and told Comrade Lao Du to cut off the part with the speaker decorative cover on the door panel of the Crown.
Du Chen took the cut decorative cover and placed it on the Jetta door panel, adjusted its position, and then polished it with sandpaper. Then he found some small wooden sticks and glued the Crown decorative cover to the Jetta door panel.
"Son, is this all right?"
Comrade Lao Du looked a little unhappy. This was really a mess.
"How could that be, Dad? This is just the beginning."
Next, Du Chen used a small wooden stick to stick to the joint of the door panel as a reinforcement, and mixed some wood chips with glue and stuck them all to the joint on the back of the door panel. The wood chips were used by the repair shop to absorb engine oil.
"Dad, look, use a stick and sawdust to stick the two pieces together. It will be very strong. Try it!"
Du Chen continued to explain to Comrade Lao Du.
“But this is too ugly!”
Comrade Lao Du had already given up when he looked at this pile of things.
"Hey, it's not over yet. Why are you so anxious? If it were that simple, anyone could do it."
Next, Du Chen found some putty for sheet metal painting and began to apply putty on the door panel. He just had to make the back smooth and he also made a slight shape on the front.
Comrade Lao Du looked at Du Chen's skillful technique without any ripple in his heart. He didn't want to ask what was going on. If he asked, he guessed Du Chen would just be talking nonsense to him.
Comrade Lao Du was very surprised to see the door panel changing little by little in Du Chen's hands. Now the door panel has become much more pleasing to the eye and looks like the original one.
"Son, then, can we just spray paint it next?"
"Spray painting is fine, but it doesn't have much texture. Let's just wrap it with real leather. It will have texture, look good, and look classy!"
Du Chen put down the scraper in his hand, looked at the door panel in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. Not bad, although he was a little rusty, but it met his expectations.
"Dad, that's all we can do today. Let the putty dry, then sand it tomorrow and spray it with black primer. Then hurry up and buy the leather, and we'll have a door like this!"
"Okay, it's already half past eight! Three hours have already passed. Go home quickly. Your mom will definitely tell you when you get home!"
"It's okay, Dad. I'll talk to Mom when I get home."
…
"Oh, you still know how to go home? Look at you two, why go home? Forget about the repair shop you're staying in! I think there's food and drink in the repair shop, right?"
As expected, as soon as Du Chen entered the house, his mother started to sarcastically criticize the father and son.
"Mom, that won't work. You're not here at the repair shop, and Dad and I are tired and hungry."
Du Chen didn't dare let his father speak. No matter how uncomfortable his father's straight male nature was, he could not stop talking. If he really pissed off his mother, both of them would be in trouble.
"Oh, so you don't know how to go home?"
"Mom, my dad has never worked on a car stereo before, and this is his first time doing something for his boss, so we have to take it seriously! After doing something good for the boss, Dad will have an easier time at work, and maybe even get a promotion, right?"
Du Chen was telling the truth, and his mother understood. It was just that they had forgotten to inform each other that they would be back late. Du Chen forgot about everything else once he started working, and it had taken him over three hours to finish just one door panel.
