Thanks man, I should have some updates real soon!

And no the doors are not done, actually they are on hold, waiting to go to the upholstery guy. I made a key decision, hope it was the right one!

I've been working on wiring and painting, and another little side project, just to make it cool. So I should have a nice update in a day or two!

So please, check back in!!!

Every time I come in this thread I get excited and what I can do to mine but for now I'll keep getting some ideas from you

Hurry up man! I already finished mine :) of course mine look like ASS!

Thanks fellas! :blush:

Well, I have some updates for ya. It's been hard to get any work in for the past 2 weeks, between my job, and the weather. But I managed to fit in a few projects, nothing too exciting, buy hey it's all part of the build. Plus, I've been waiting to drop the dp's to the upholstery shop. I was going to attempt to wrap them myself however, I want perfect or close to perfect results, so my better judgement told me not to waste my time and money. So I've just been waiting until he is ready for them, and I guess now he is, so I gotta drop them off today. I'll try to get some pics of the place.

Anyway, here are the pics from the past couple of weeks. I've been jumping from project to the next, trying to get something done.

One of the things I've been working on is painting. Two words: Not Fun! But necessary, so on we go!

Everything in the car is getting "blacked out", except certain things which will be a dark metallic grey. Here goes the factory outer door panels.

But after getting the trim ring painted, I realized that this metallic color isn't the one I want. It looked good against the two tone tan, but it doesn't flow right with the black. So there's only one thing left to do: Change it!

The old vs the new. Dark one is the old one, lighter one will match better!

But before sanding them down to be painted again, I did snap a few pics. I just didn't think the darker color went well with it.

483269_415047638531234_1788158527_n.jpg

So after sanding them down, I decided to do the trim part first, then I'll do the black after it has plenty of time to cure. Check out how I held the handle open :)

Other pieces

Okay, so another project I wanted to get done was the b pillar. Plans are to put a set of 4" and a set of 5.25" co-axles in and run them off the HU. So here we go!

481051_415047828531215_1534760455_n.jpg

Noticed a problem right away. The 4" needs more room, what to do...

557353_415047871864544_1274688899_n.jpg

Well, I marked it, used my jig saw to cut groves diagonally up to the line, then took a hammer and bent the "tabs" back. Worked out perfect! And I think it looks much better than if I had just cut right through it.

So then I broke out the poly-fil, and stuffed a bunch in.

181109_415048255197839_1577719494_n.jpg

I then cut out little strips of batting to use to help hold it all in.

561028_415048461864485_1404007406_n.jpg

So it turns out like this

Then after craming as much as possible, the top

530063_415048511864480_532645120_n.jpg

I used this whole bag between the two b-pillars. Should help some, I think a nice upgrade for less than $4

So now that is done, it's time to start running some new electric!

Okay, so here's the plan. To accommodate all of the electrical upgrades, I am building two distribution boxes, one for hot, ground, remote, fuses, and relays, and another for the led control and distribution. But instead of hiding them, the plan is to mount the directly behind the seats, and show them off with some plexi and leds of their own. Then the amps will go right in front of them, directly under the seats. So here we go!

I broke out the trusty ol jig saw again. Man, I really need to buy me a circular saw!

524131_415049018531096_1300215760_n.jpg

Got the led box all cut, now the fuse/ relay box

376837_415049068531091_1526579202_n.jpg

Bam!

576048_415049351864396_624477886_n.jpg

So now I just gotta get them glued and screwed together. Would have been much easier with a nail gun, and straight cuts...

292321_415049375197727_568347820_n.jpg

Next thing I did was to drill holes in both boxes, for wires to go in and out easily

251933_415049708531027_365207691_n.jpg

Also, I tried to make everything I could for this, but some parts I couldn't make. So for that, I hit up Mr. Tony C. at CE Auto Electric Supply. SUPER fast shipping!

Of course I broke the tap on the vrey last one! FML! Oh well, I came up with a temp fix, till I cut out a whole new one.

391258_415049775197687_2066450526_n.jpg

This is the led control box. After looking at it, I decided it could be better. So here we go, lets do it!

422371_415048915197773_1116662168_n.jpg

First, I picked up a couple of these guys, then took them apart and added some colored 18g

313990_415050021864329_1872111450_n.jpg

487664_415050105197654_1298851412_n.jpg

Once that was done, I hard wired them into the box. Out with the old, in with the new. Or in this case, out with the new, in with the better new!

205298_415050235197641_1081059475_n.jpg

Finished... But it just doesn't look right...

Now that's much better

599831_415050501864281_1407117041_n.jpg

318700_415050551864276_1366503724_n.jpg

309414_415050641864267_783011056_n.jpg

So now that stuff is done, time to get the boxes finished up!
