X-Box looks sweet! kit looks awesome, did you cut the roof off? or is that how it comes? I say leave it at stock(ish) height, A luxury SUV does not belong in the mud, and I personally find Caddarded sities look sittin on 44's.

Thats just how they make the interior the top is still on.

good job on the X-Box. Cant wait to see the finished product.

JeFF

does that sub rack come with the kit? what else does the kit come with? its a 2n'1 right?

Thanks guys. The sub rack does come with the kit along with amps, pre tinted windows, 2 rim choices, 2 grills, and euro tail lights.

i mustve been understood, i mean the escalade was a photoshop, i meant that i made a photoshop to show about where the top of the tire was
opps sorry dude :iceslolan

can we see pics of both sets of wheels and both grills?

nice x box man!!! ;)

I am also building this kit, im also sorry for Hijacking your thread. I have one question. How did you build the xbox? planning to build all there game systems into my car.

Thanks guy I'll get the pics of the wheels and grills soon, o and the Xbox I did scratch build.

a lil too low 4 me.... but build for yourself! nice ride, first of the escalades (i predict many will follow) set the bar high speedstur!

Thanks everyone! I got a little work done on the I.C.E. in the back. I cut down the sub box that came with the kit allready. To the left and the right of the Xbox I am going to put T.V.s facing towards the back. In the other pics you can see that the amps look kind of out of place, and they are because I plan on countersinking them int the floor with a plexiglass cover. what does everyone think?

Thanks alot everyone your comments really keep me going, I had an idea to put those cool grill things on the speakers so I got to work and this is what I came up with, not sure if I like them, but they will look better when its all painted.

I like the grill thingys

they'd be better if the chromation (is that a word?) wasn't so bad... still a great build

How'd you make the grill thingys?

once the subs are painted, the grill things will look even better!

very cool idea, i like it.

Looks like it's coming together very well! Can not wait to see it completed!!!!!!

thats friggin pimp yo

Do the grills come with the model or you built it?

The grills are the wheels from a 1:43 scale modifier car that had the backs cut off and the center drilled out. Here is a little preview of whats to come 100% scratch built sub backs (not sure if proper term) they are still a little rough but as soon as I get it unstuck from my finger I'll finish them up lol

looking good dude !! the sound system is going to be real nice

Thanks guys I wrote a toturial for the xbox because I have gotten I lot of requests on how I built it, you can check it out here: http://www.rocketrob.com/toturialsxbox.htm

is there any tutorial how to make a custom sound system w/out buying one ready made

k sorry to hijack but the escalade is not a photoshop its real, they also built a hummer that lays body on 26's
both the escalade and the hummer go from the trailor to the spot in the show and back into the trailor. thats about the extent to the driving done on them
they were built by extensive metal works

Sorry but I have to correct you. They do get driven. Ekstensive Metalwerks is based out of Houston. They do drive all the rides they build. I've seen them on multiple occasions on I-45 and stopping at Hooters. The H2 is owned by Ken Caminetti, former Astros and Padres 3rd baseman. The frame is from a suburban, not exactly sure as to the details on the Escalade. Saw both the Escalade and H2 at Texas Heatwave last weekend. The Escalade looks almost complete but not completely.
