beautiful car, even more beautiful install. I like the doublestitch in the trunk (being in the upholstery biz (as a hobby) im always fascinated with stuff like that.

anyhow, awesome as usual mr. Meade.

just wondering what the reasoning was behind running the wiring under the car as opposed to through it like in the Tahoe. I know it makes no difference as long as the power gets there. Just wanted to know.

The last few days, this is what i have been working on.

Custom pods for the SMD VM-1 (Volt meter), the new OM-1 (Output Meter) and the new TM-1 (Temperature Sensor / Fan output controller).

PasMag (Performance Auto & Sound) is going to shoot my car for December's issue so i had to get this done. Anyway, for those that wanted to see how i did it, here it is.

Made a little "trough" so i could get a flat spot at the bottom of the circle.

Fill it in, scrape it flat. Pop the frame off - and bam, i got what i was looking for.

Now time to sand.

Tapped the OM-1 into the bass amps and hooked up the TM-1 to the existing fan system....you can't see it but it is there! Might have to go back a few pages to see them being installed.

Just about everything i did to this car, runs through this board at some point, for some reason

It stays hidden behind the panels, on the side of the box. I gave it enough slack to be able to pull it out and work on it if i need to. Good thing i did!



You can't see the fans, but there is 8 of them.

4 pulling air in, 4 pushing air out.

and....the finished product!

video coming soon!
