79 cutty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Since I will be molding the under side of the trunk I picked two of these up: A real rough idea of how it will sit in the trunk on one side: Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

79 cutty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Another productive weekend...so on with the progress pics! I started be sandind off all the old fleece: After that I CA glued the grille clothe to the side of the dash: Then it was on to the resin: I didn't want a 90 degree turn on the dash so this was my means of rounding the corners on it: I used the rounded cut on the spatula to lay down filler: After it was sanded down: And after that I hit a couple spots on the dash with filler, knocked it down, and then gave the entire dash a thin coat of "milkshake" Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

79 cutty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Since the space in the g body trunks is at a premium and with 9 batteries, a piston pump, and 2 regular pumps going in there already I was looking for other options. Well, problem solved: Alpine PDX5. Much smaller than even one of the RF amps at does the following: 75 x 4 and 300 x 1 mono Birth sheet on the amp has it rated as follows: 105 x 4 and 367 x 1 So I am looking forward to hooking that beast up and seeing how it sounds Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

79 cutty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 That is basically where the build sits as of now. I am still working on the dash/interior panels and will begin to get back on sealing/painting the frame here soon I hope. Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

79 cutty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I love that body style Regal. You have done alot of good work. I can't wait to see it finished. Thanks. I appreciate it. I have always liked the g bodies, but it is all personal preference. I am shooting to have it done this summer, but with the birth of my wife and I's first child progress has been haulted a little. But getting back into it slowly but surely! Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight.
