Kasey: i get my materials from Keyston brothers or directly thru my upholstery guy

[meade916]

Damn bro, you do a helluva job with the panel wrapping, wanna do mine?

thanks man, i had to battle with it some but the end result isnt too bad. So much work though for someone who dont give a fuck

oh well someday when and if he snaps out of it, i hope he appreciates how much time i put into this. I REALLY need to be on my Tahoe right now not this thing

[Maxim]

Wow Steve, you do some pretty amazing work, and not only on the system. I've never heard of anyone doing the WHOLE build themselves, including building the system from scratch, revamping the whole interior, and even installing the damn bags. You've got some crazy skills man. I've followed this forum for a couple months now, but it wasn't until this build caught my eye that I officially joined. I'll tell you what, I'm completely blown away by every part of this build. I always find it impressive that you'll personally tackle every part of your builds, except the most skilled parts that you know you want done right (the leather wrapping, the stitching on the nitrogen bottle cover, the tight black glossy paint on the dash). Other than that though, you're practically a one-man shop out there. Rain, wind, 100°+ weather, whatever it is, you're out there getting it done. It makes me want to try my own build. Nothing even close to this, but something smaller and more simple, like 2 12's. I want to try my hand at designing and building a box as well. Maybe someday...

HOWEVER, stop building this damned thing. I wanna see that Tahoe up and running with the new amps. Thing's gonna slam even harder than it did. Who else puts 20,000 watts on 4 18's and decides they're not satisfied? You're out of your damn mind. However, I am in full support of your insanity. Keep it coming man.

thanks again everyone!!! Ok im getting closer to being DONE - (unless he calls and says PAINT THAT BITCH) but either way im 99.9999% finished!!! Here is what i did today - (and part of last night)

yes i probably make it look easy but this shit was HARD and took some serious time to pull off - it has a much higher degree of difficulty then it looks for SURE Try it and see, then call me and tell me all about it LOL!

the fact that the entire "wrap" hinges on whether or not you can make this look good is very stressfull. Not only do you have all those bends but you also have to turn over the top and pull the face down because this part SHOWS....i almost painted it because of this but i thought id give it a try anyway Got lucky!

ASS END finally DONE!!!!!

Time for these pesky little handles......heres the story with those. At the B-Pillar, the plastic is notched around the "grab handles" up top. If you leave them out, it shows factory sheet metal and bolt-holes (where they USED to be). Well since there is a wall, the handles dont fit anymore - so i had to butcher them up and wrap them to match. Watch the coming pics it will make sense

[Noobtastic14]

Nice!!!!!

See the top of that B-Pillar to understand what i was doing with the handles - now that "notch" or "hole" is filled with something, a half-handle

Just gettin done for the day and i noticed some MORE TAN still lingering on the car!! These are the "other" door sills that are sorta on the outside of the vehicle and on the inside - they are halfway between the seat and the interior sills. You can see where they go after i paint and reinstall them. Oh it was also good to get rid of the resin and glue "droppings" that accumulated on them during the wall-build

Those go HERE:

ok heres the check list of things i have to do:

Shocks (relocate, weld)

Paint the dome light housing (it falls every time the bass hits anyway)

replace front driver ground level sensor (broke it)

replace air pressure sensor (leaking, not shutting the system down @ 200psi FTL! )

paint job and rims is ON HIM - i await his call as i get ready to start the Tahoe!
