Rell Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Anyone have an idea how I could go about making some Kick panels while still having my e-brake? I did a search already nothing came up really so thats why Im making an thread. This is for an 87 Chevy caprice by the way. It had some 4x6 in the dash but I didnt want those plus I already fiberglasses the dash and shave those speaker hole out of there. Pics. Excuse the carpet lol, I have replacement ready to go in. Im going with some Rockfordfosgate 6.5s by the way. I also wanted to make an custom grill like this and wrap it so the actual speaker is not seen.

BackYardSoundZ Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Try to go in front of it, you might have to find another way to push it down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 The only way you can keep it functional is to bend the arm out. It's an automatic right? Just forget that the ebrakes there...

sdrawkcaB Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Or you could just add on/weld/bolt on another small piece of metal that sticks out sideways a little bit more so you gan still get to it... Or maybe I'm thinking you want to do something different....

sean 371 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just bend that shit out then. Be careful with it tho, my ebrake in my tahoe no longer works after trying to bend it out...things locked in the full up position....makes a nice footrest though.

Shyne151 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yes hmm well nevermind. Most people with older cars like that don't use them because they stick alot, so we usually just remove them. -Installer for Duke's Car Stereo 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix - Ported Eaton M90 S/C, 3.5" pulley, XS Power Headers, 1.9 Rockers, FWI, Poly Motor Mounts, Custom Tune.
