i have my amps mounted behind a beauty panel, no air flow, no issues.
-
I have never had AC in my car. Only 2-60 lmao!
I have also never had issues, just dont like my amps sitting in 110 degree heat if they dont have to be
-
Im so jelly of the CNC'd rabbets. Looks killer steve!
-
Since Jan '12. Very glad I joined!

Wanted to re wire my 4 channel wireless switch, time to put all that sky high wire to good use! All wired and labeled I found this cool spiral wrap at home depot for like 3 bucks. And you get 2 lengths around 4 ft long or so. Figured if I ever wanted to change the length of one harness I can T off almost anywhere. Everything in place, Plenty of areas to hook stuff up now!
-
Finally some audio related updates. Wanted to downsize the 6x9 box now that I have huge front fill from the door panels. Did the entire countersink with a 1/4 chisel and hammer lol
-
Back home finally. Still have to wetsand and buff the clear for a mirror like shine. Only home for a week and she got snowed on Fuck you Ohio weather, glad they didnt use salt though! Was honestly surprised they didnt
-
thanks man. its not bad for my first time.
-
Another coat of primer: Wetsanded that primer stage with 600 grit No more roof rails! Finally the moment you all (and myself) have been waiting for Then the whole basecoat was wetsanded also with 600 You can see the blue spot on the fender where it rubbed through. Thats ok because im doing another layer of color before clear anyway. This was friday night, more color and clear finally! better without the tire covers! And this is how she was Saturday night. Got 3 of the 4 new tires mounted and balanced. 2 lugs on the last wheel fucked me so i had to make a run home for more tools. Sunday was cleanup day and monday night I drove her home!
-
Thanks man its a ton of work lol thank you sir thats why Im holding onto this one as long as possible!
-
Peeled all tape and plastic. Getting ready to retape with paper for Primer and Color! Love this tape! Used over a whole roll to re mask lol Primer stage one! Stage 2! Dont mind the zebra stripes it will be corrected! After blocking the filler primer its all ugly again! Also picked up my basecoat and clearcoat! Almost time! I will post the rest of the pictures tonight. Sorry for the picture dump, didnt have any time to spare during this process to update. Lots of very long nights
-
Time for a whole shit ton of RAGE and blocking! Rocker patch: Roof is basically complete! Bumper repair Picked up my supply of primer! Getting closer and closer!
-
The passenger side got it the worse as far as cancer metal goes. Had to go all the way into my doors but was able to just patch the rocker on this side. Very weird the way the rust was, I got very lucky! POR 15 treatment on the front door. Ive youve never used the stuff before its awesome! Primed that quarter and it looks damn good!
-
Back to that quarter, decided f it and blended the whole thing. Had a couple tiny dent that it took care of also Spoiler holes: This got blended way more eventually, just getting mud on it to work with! After another skim coat and a block these were pretty much done! Quarter was 95% done at this point too: Primed the trunk just to make it one color again:
-
Rocker action: This area will never been seen, but I will see it every time I open my door: Both panels fabbed and welded: Bit of duraglass Before I show you guys how much sanding had to be done to get this to blend correctly Ill show the aftermath of the first few batches lol So much blocking, getting close! While that primer cured I moved on to shaving the holes from my spoiler. I dont like the look plus they rattle lol Was really happy how that bottom one ground down. Little patch work on the passenger wheel well. This side usually rots the worst in my area, somehow this car got it backwards. 5" of snow in April, Thank you cleveland weather lol
-
Sorry for the long delay, had a ton of ship pop up that I wasnt expecting and my time frame wasnt getting longer lol. Onto the pictures! First furnace filter is quite colorful Primed the rockers to prep for body work HUGE issue. This panel cannot be bought, has to be custom fabricated, 2 different layers. This was a big holy fuck moment. (That slight silver where the vent hole goes isnt metal, thats gorilla tape I put there years ago for water leaks, It held wayyy better than I ever thought lol) What its supposed to look like: Anyways, had to take the rear reinforcement off and found this nice clump of shit lol All naked! Quick wire wheel and rattle can Step one for the rockers. Duraglass! Step 2 Rage Gold. I love this filler so much. Cut of layer off. See how it goes towards the inside of the trunk. Yeah big problem without proper tools lol
