Neo_frog Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Posted March 6, 2010 So after months of research and buying products over and over only to find out they don't exist and getting refunded, I've decided to just try some basic JCWhitney bags to support this car. I didn't get a picture before/after, but the fender wells were sitting on the rear tires. This addition gave me a 3" rear lift. Here's the bags. Little cheapos, but they are 5/5 stars in my book. And here are the coil stabilizers as a complement. Here are the air lines run behind the bumper and the valve to air them up. And just to show work is still progressing, I ripped off the old nasty doors. I've read my ass off to see how ppl were doing it, and I think I can make it way better this time. I'm still waiting on my SecondSkin order to show up before putting things back on. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Neo_frog Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Posted March 12, 2010 Got a little more work done, but the latest promotion at the job has me working midnights so time it getting weird. Pieces of the stock door....in the trash. Had to Gorilla Glue the center pieces back into the doors. They are going to be chopped up, but they have the retaining pins on them, so might as well use them. My SPL Tiles finally showed up. I'll be hitting the firewall, doors, and more of the ceiling. And here's a little something. Since putting in the pillars, I had to take out my gauges. I really only use the Voltage gauge now, but I'm tired of holding it in my hand. Time to try my hand at some Rage. It worked out pretty well, but I'm still getting used to making things on my own. Doors are stuck together now. Since I threw away the stock armrest, I needed to shave off the mount points. Need an install? Hit me up.[email protected]Got car audio questions?

Neo_frog Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Posted March 16, 2010 So my Jasper Jig broke, the local Woodcraft closed down, and nobody else sells a damn circle jig. So I stuck with prettying up the interior. I finished the center bezel which turned out nice. Not quite perfect, but very subtle discrepancies. Also repainted all the pieces, took out the colored bezels for sanding and painting. I'm trying out a two tone black/white thing. It's lookin pretty sweet! Also rewired the switch to operate the gauge. And that's all the work done I got this weekend. Had 12 hour midnight rotations... ugh Need an install?

Neo_frog Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Posted March 16, 2010 I'll be buying a new steering wheel, and shift knob. I'm gonna be putting two 4" coaxes in the missing portion of the center console firing towards the wall and it will be painted white. The doors are getting done with six sets of RF T152S components and an old school Chevy handle to close them... That's as far as I've thought for now. Need an install?

Neo_frog Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Posted March 22, 2010 Got a little more done, but nothing too special. I won't have much posting time for a while so I'll get em out now. My speakers are finally coming in now so I'll be able to get on these doors shortly. The base was built for the 4" speakers in the center console, and the dash pieces (that took FOREVER to sand) are primed up. There's a little more to do with strengthening the center speaker enclosure before glassing. It's a bit flimsy but I took a picture of the test fit for shits and giggles. Need an install?
