Default Finally moving on with projects

Started on my audio set up here yesterday...
heres the pic of the interior mids.


going to open a can of chop suey on the door and hopefully build some beautiful kickpanels for these.
started on the speaker rings last night.

orederd a bunch of fun things for the airrunners.
upgraded all couplings to 3/8 line and a conversion to electric valves.
i shall be free from air lines all inside the car!
got a neat electronic gauge setup.


ill take some pics of my CARcomputer that i have built for the glove box. as you guys may remember this project got abandoned a while ago but i plan to be on this like a hawk from now on!

Kickpanels eh? I was going to do that, but the e-brake was in the way and it made things complicated. So I went back to the good ol putting the speaker in the door method.
