hotwheels Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 next we needed to get power to the roof plan was to keep the van build to a theme so for the power we needed to make a distribution centre and a plan was hatched we bought up second hand burnt out amps and used the cases to cover all the fuses so the new bulkhead was made then add a P/G DD10 and you add some spare amps and you end up with something that looks like this closed open and powered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
