F-150 Build Log **4-1-09** A-pillars Started


Recommended Posts

got the woofs this morning around 12.

got the XT4000D running @ 2 ohms pushing like 450 RMS total from what the spec sheet says. its as loud as the MT was with 1500 RMS.

The bad, got flexxing. i had to make a splice on the back because home depot didnt have any whole sheets of MDF today when i went so i had to get quarter sheets. so i got some more bracing to do. when my seats are pushed back and its pressed to the wall real hard it doesnt flex. gonna try and get it done tomorrow.

who wants pics and vids?

im trying dilligently to get the M80's and strap them but IDK yet.

but 225 RMS to each isnt to bad.

the box flex sucks though so im gonna try and get that corrected. ill be rebuilding DEFINATELY soon. With more layers ...... ran out of time and $$$

Started some "Body Work"

All the pics look the same but they arent. just different stages of sanding ... thought id post em.

Pulled the dented up bumper off

Posted Image

Then the grill

Posted Image

Started with a 120 grit scuff

Posted Image

Posted Image

Then primed and wet sanded with 220 grit

Posted Image

Then primed again and wet sanded with more 220 grit.

Posted Image

Then primed again and wet sanded with 320 grit.

Posted Image

Posted Image

laying a few more primer coats and a few more wet sands of 320 grit up to 400 then 600 then 1000. its smooth as fawk right now but im gonna keep going in grit until its like a baby bottom.

the heads and tails SHOULD be smoked this weekend. and the other black piece will get the same treatment as the grille.

the "wall" is coming out tomorrow or so as well, and im going with 3 layers of dampening on the roof, the floor, and the rear wall. 2 layers on the inner and outer skin of the doors each and 2 layers on the b-pillars. Also, gonna have a custom headliner made by my brother and thinking of getting some air brushing done by OD.

got 3 or 4 50’ sppols of 1/0 to order to do my runs of + and -.

so whos got the hook ups on em? i got a small one but im just wondering.
