8ten8 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Photobucket took a shit and I lost my original build log. Aftet speaking with another member here, I decided to give it another shot. Sooo deaden first Lots of sheet metal too hush-up PL and foam to do the dirty work Must make it squeekey clean first thoe As per SnowDrifter's advice, I PL'd all seams between sheet metal and bracing And foamed every orifice I could get access to Now on with the deadening! Secondskin ftw. B stock too More to come tomorrow...electrical. Thanks for watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ten8 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 On with the electrical: 2 runs of Sundown 1/0 front to back, 2 runs of GP 2/0 charging wire (scraps I found laying around), Mechman 1/0 for the big 4 and multiple chassis grounds. Had just enough Sundown for the two runs. Went through the floor behind the driver seat. To many pinch points and twist and turns beyond that point. Used a grommet and PL to secure it. On with the rear grounds. Everything copper lugs, crimped and adhesive heat shrink. Painted and dielectric too Rear bumper had to be removed in order to accomplish the next task, so why not seal off the vents. Controversial, I know Now here's where the tricky part came into play. Note the right angle drill that didn't fit. After making a few "adjustments", it worked After a little PL and some massaging, all is well. Drilled a few pass throughs, stainless, lock washers, painted and dielectric There was a riged fome Storage Tray underneath the false floor that I cut to accommodate the grounds Added a few more grounds upfront AGM 24 upfront, 3100 in the rear, maby a little lithium in the future. Stock alt, US 280a still being built. DC5K on the shelf. AB 1880.1 powering a single 15 in a parallel 6th (much thanks to Triticum and JoeX), stock fronts on deck power for now. Doors are next. I'll post the doors tomorrow. Evil6.5's maby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8ten8 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thanks gents! On with the doors: panel came off easy but the vapor barrier tooka little effort. Wanted to save it Everything cleaned. Used the vapor barrier as a template. Hole saw and hammer for access to body clips For the door lock/ opening mechanism I used heavy-duty disposable shop towels to protect. Then adhered the SecondSkin.

8ten8 Posted September 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 So after removing the factory door speakers, found that the OEM speaker adapter is angled at 22 degrees (or so) toward the driver seat. Thank goodness cuz I thought I might have take more time fabing. The OEM adapter wouldn't fit the Evil at first but with a little sanding, it worked. Doubled up the Sundown 16awg through the boot and behind the dash to the passenger side, that was a pain. RCA's on the same side too Got some SecondSkin speaker tweeters also. The impact bracing in the door complicated things but I think I made it work Nice packaging and a little perverted. She'll get get the job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
