  1. Its getting cold here so the rims have to come off, the stock ones had heavy clear coat damage from the salt on the roads so plastidip to the rescue! Looks goofy, but not as bad as it did before with the stock wheels.. So much front wheel gap!!! I needed to fix that! Much better, but thats about as low as I can go on stock torsion keys. At least my charging system is working okay so far! Since I was doing recones I needed to reup my CA Glue supply, so grabbed a few pounds of this stuff, and about 64oz of activator as well. Id like to get the headliner back in, but its falling apart pretty bad. Black Lights FTW Got some SMD SunFlash to try for a while, plan is to cure it with the black lights, its not optimal like the sun, but Ill see if it works. Covered the top side of the headliner and mat where it was creased or edges where breaking. Tracking for the 4 UFO BTL recones, thanks to Nick @ Fi for the hookup on them!! Tracking for the 2 SA-18 recones that I popped and another thanks to Nick @ Stereo Integrity which is who made the options for SA-18s to be a thing before they where released as a factory option!! Oddly enough thats 2 to many Nicks to email back and forth with regarding recones at the same time from 2 different companies. LOL

  2. Put 1 amp in at wired at .5ohms It lasted maybe a half day until I started pushing the limits of the 600wrms woofers. Only thing that pissed me off is I didnt get to meter it prior.. On the 4channel it was doing 145-147 playing music sealed up on the dash. One 4500 was a bit louder it seemed. So I started to weigh my options, recone the btls custom, buy factory recones, and recone the sa-18s. iyiyi So I picked up this coil to see how it would fit the gap, and see if it had a long enough former height to fit Ti baskets on the ufos. Guess its using some HP500 glue, and is to handle OVER 450degrees F, and 9,000wrms..... I was a bit skeptical, and dropping over $1000 for recones some BTLS sounded great at first but then I decided it would be a lot of wasted money once I ordered new woofers. So this happened.....

  3. Well.... If you think about it like this. If someone that was a friend of a friend or not a very close friend but someone you were cool with. And they brought you that car to do what you did to it. I wouldn't think it would be unreasonable for you to be willing to sell it for (car value + equipment + fair labor + materials = sale cost) You don't hear shops telling guys they won't put rims on their car because it will be worth more then the car, or a mechanic saying that the $500 in tires your putting on it is worth more then the tarcel or something. But thats the custom / aftermarket world we live in. Im sure as long as its not OVER msrp on all products, and its not some crazy number per hour for labor (like $500 an hour or something), and your not adding years of sentimental value for no clear reason then i don't see a problem with asking for what is a fair trade for the car as it sits. Just my thoughts. On another note, anyone who got the "Meade-Me-Downs" on any of your vehicles would have a pretty sweet ride.
