      Nah it feels like friday lol tomorrow when its 72 and I can work on my car all day it will definitely feel like the weekend

  2. Ok man. Just my .02 that I will keep to myself from now on. Still tuned in for what's in store for the future with you
  3. A DIY kit is not a bad idea at all! I couldnt wait to rip that scosche turd out when I used it
  4. Yes what Broke and S15 are saying. I know robots arent perfect at painting. The truck does look great and water based paint im sure isnt easy to work with. I just know you like your rides nice and shiny. Your boy Kasey could take care of that for you down the road if you wanted. And having just painted my car my eye is always catching factory imperfections so I can compare my results
  5. what "Orange Peel"? where? in the paint. right at the beginning when you're walking up to it. Im so impressed every time they tint something of yours. Especially more when he does every window by hand! I know what a pain that is.
  6. Is this the truck with the badass cupholder setup up front? I saw that the new fords that can seat 5 have 10 cupholders total. 2 drinks per person lol
  7. awesome man. Cant wait to see the tint update video! Always the first with one of your vehicles.
  8. Who has had success curing sunflash without natural UV light?

      I was fiberglassing last night. I woke up this morning and it was still wet. Not enough hardener

  9. Mounting bolts for the subs Decided to do something different with the binding post markings. Free handed with my Roto saw. Wired up! Semi gloss black port. Couldn't decide on gloss or matte, so I went in between! T nuts glued and installed Top is on, glued and screwed. Whole box was sanded down to 220. I will be carpeting the box, but figured I wanted to seal it from any potential moisture. Loaded it for the first test bump. Sounds great, decided to celebrate with a beer and playing with some lights! Dont mind the trim panels. They werent all the way flush with the box, just needed to get an idea Couple weeks later I went nuts with the tape! Have alot of trimming to do. But this was all done with sunflash. Truly one of the best products I have ever used. Its nice not being rushed frantically to get a batch laid out before it cured (sorry out of focus) Daytime pic, again sorry for the out of focus Oh and got some more goodies from steve!
  10. Thats the plan stan! I really didnt want to but It looks like that would be the best. Plus now I have some secret ideas to really make the carpet look good
  11. No ideas from the peanut gallery. Port is semi gloss black now, still debating on how to finish the outside ............but it slams
  12. Time for a new box! Going to try something ive never built before Always liked the look of an angled baffle box, plus it helps with space big time. just never had the cuts to attempt and build one. Port piece Now its time to start gluing and screwing to make it permanent! The top will have to be slid all the way over, its an EXTREMELY snug fit lol Almost looks like a box now. I also did these baffles in a very strange order but Im glad I did, cutouts for the double baffle came out alot easier I left extra material on the inner baffle so the T nuts will have as much area as possible to bit into. I can always flush trim it but the subs fit fine with no obstructions. Added some bracing and started to prime the inside while the top is still off Now this is the only thing about the box that Im pissed about. Port is blocked by about an inch, after flush trimming the port top with 2 baffles the angle added up and tapered the port Do you guys think it will compromise sound in any way? I really dont think it will but who knows. Ran out of primer: Primed the top too! Almost ready to paint the port! Now I need your guys input here. How should I finish the outside? Im not going to just slap some rustoleum on it to paint it black, thats too boring and ive done it the last 2 boxes. I have some ebony stain that looks OK but there isnt enough grain visible to show it off really. Ive never carpeted a box yet and I think this may be the time to! Also what color for the port? Black? I feel that will match whatever is on the exterior way better than a grey. I was thinking red to color match the car but thats too gawdy. (subs are just resting there, the cutout is so precise I have to pressure fit them in and yes the right one is crooked, just an idea of how much will be visible.)
  13. thanks!!! it's not that the heat-shrink is exclusive or anything....we just haven't really offered it because we had it made for our new RCA's and a few other items. It wasn't really meant to be for sale But if you are interested that is something we can easily do. thanks again! That would be awesome! Maybe replacement acorn nuts for the fuse blocks sold separately perhaps? I know im going to break one eventually
  14. Damn Steve always coming up with new ways to amaze us. Would be perfect for my sub box! Oh and where can we find that SMD heatshrink? Or it that exclusive still?
  15. this weekend kicked my ass

      its all about that oil man

  16. for all the box gurus out there, how do you find volume of a angle baffled box?

      basically find the spot where the angle stops. Draw an imaginary line to square it off. Once it is a square, find the area or volume. Then divide it by 2 (cut in half). That is your number.

      you can do this with multiple angles in a box. Just make anything with an angle into a square by doubling it. Then find what you need to find and cut it back in half.

      OK cool, And Steve thanks for putting it so simply. I was way over thinking this

  17. I will also be building a new box. Does torres account for angled baffles?
  18. Also wanted to redo my a pillars. Tweets werent really imaged well and was another one of my first projects. Time to put my newer skills to work! Remaking my false floor, the MDF that was back there added up in weight too fast. I had some birch sitting around for a while, might as well use what i have to most of! Intake fan board mockup All panels in Oh and I made a spot for that fuse holder from earlier: Overall im not happy with this cutout, Id like to get fancy. My grandpa is giving me his router table, going to invest in a bottom bearing flush bit. That should help! But considering this was all jigsaw, thats not terrible This one board is hiding alot of stuff now. These will help with the dreaded MB quart angled inputs. Had to stop there, waiting for my fuse holder to come. Literally the missing link!
  19. So I havent posted much just from being busy with life stuff, havent done as much as Id like to but we all know how that is> Doing a seat swap from a 2nd gen neon to my 1st gen, along with the center console and shifter to gain an extra cupholder and sportier shifter. Few custom brackets later and it dropped right in, now all those hours spent sanding the factory one are out the window lol up into the attic it goes for storage! Repping my SMD hoodie on the 10 year anniversary Also made a purchase or two.. Re doing my kick panels so i can have some front fill while my door panels sit ready to be finished. Only finished this side, started more projects in the mean time lol Some random RE grill (also temporary) The cherry bomb I had was on its way out, and I was kinda getting tired of it rattling my brains. Thats why I have a stereo! Sounds good and sounds almost stock now! Another thing that has bugged me is my beige headliner. Nothing else in my car is beige everything is charcoal grey so time to make it match! Several coats later While that was out decided to cover the rest of my roof, would have been nice to keep the metal from washboarding during paint process. Maybe will be better next time!
