I'm hoping to be knee deep on getting this truck painted, so it may not look the best in the world, but it should be sounding good (I hope ... LOL)

See you there guys !!!

Nice!! I'm kinda surprised that the speakers are just pointing straight tho. Figured they'd be pointing towards the driver.

Also it looks like only 1/2 the speaker is showing out of the dash, why did you do that?

Just a cheap car to destroy with bass :D

That was kind of the idea at first ... but the insrument cluster (driver side) and the air bag canister (passenger side)changed those plans, But I'm thinking it worked out for the better, but the tweeters will be realigned and changed soon. I will explain it better when I learn more about it.

Yes Sir ... We countersank the 5.25" drivers about an inch and a half ... the ONLY way to get a 5.25" driver in that dash and still be able to drive the truck (pass state inspection) ...

That's so lame...not even meca sq rules. Just state inspection!

Tuned in to hear why it's better straight forward! Looks good Randall bet it sounds even better

Got some severe hail damage the other day ...
Hoping to get the body work started, We installed a fiberglass Cowl hood on White Lightning the other afternoon ... It's just mocked up, still gotta do some trimming, sanding, filling, priming, defacing, etc before paint and clear.

Decided to take some pics to see what evey one thinks and it started to get dark, so I fired up the LEDS ...
Sorry for the "Unfocused" pics ... LOL
