yeah my friend is coming over here in a few minutes. he is dropping my engien stand off and has been in canada all day. so he has yet to see it all since it was just the kitty hair bondo being applied. so i hope he understand when i tell him im not sanding for a few days! LOL

thanks for the tweet comment. he said the components are better now then they used to be just mounted in the stock door hole. told him wait until we get real power on them not just temporary deck power.

more pics. finished out all the pink pigmented bondo with 80 grit. layed a few "fill in the low spot" spots with blue pigmented bondo to help see what all i was working with. hit it all out with 80 again. went back and filled in a bit more areas to blend smooth and transition smoothly. hit again with 80. then did a once over with 220. found the 80 had put some good goudges in it. decided to go over it good with 180. really was a good idea. helped get alot of the stuff out. that is where i stopped for the day. i got 5+ hours into it today on top of the 7+ from last week. so 12-13 hours of hand sanding! it now looks like superman icecream!

Looking very good! It has a great flow to it.

Any idea on the weight? She looks to be a heavy one! Nice and solid.

looking great man. the work will be worth it when you are done with the project.

thanks guys.

colin - i don't know on teh weight. tough to say just due to its bulkiness. i would say in the 50-60 pound range. an once the amps and sub are in good lord its not going to move!

enemy - i know. it just sucks in the mean time!

going to sand on it tonight and/or tomorrow with 220 then 600 and it will be done until i comes back for final install.

well it took me more then 48 hours but the pics are in!

box is back out since this was just a dry fit. but i learned just what has to happen when we final install after paint. few spots will be protected by blue tape.
