A productive saturday for me :)

Went to the lumber store, bought some 3/4" MDF.

Put all my interior panels back in (the side and rear panels in the back-seat/hatch area), and the speaker pods, etc. Really nice to have more than just two 6.5" two-ways up front. No subs right now though, all three sets of subs are chillin' in my house.

Once the panels were in, I went to work on making a new "floor" for the hatch-area. Turned out kickass, and It's got a bigass hole in it for the 5th rim/tire (in place of the spare). Fits perfectly.

All that took me about 5 hours...

Tomorrow, I'm building another "floor" section for where the rear seat used to be, then I'm gonna start on the fiberglass sub pod. :sun:

Also, I'm relocating my battery to the hatch (Exide Orbital), and I'm building a mounting location for it and a 1 farad capacitor underneath the 5th rim/tire... Lots of clearance room under it. :cool:

Once the sub-box is done, I'm going to cover the floor pieces in vinyl, and the sub pod is going to be painted Corvette yellow to match the interior trim pieces. :D

And somewhere along the way, I'm gonna build my amp-rack into the rear-seat foot-wells.

Pictures of my progress will be up tomorrow. :smoker:

It's too bad that all this crap is gonna be really heavy though. :(

lets see some pics, i want some ideas before i rebuild mine this winter.....what did you use to relocate the battery???

I spend all saturday and most of sunday helping my dad reroof. Got a break today cause my friend is leaving for the air force tommorow and is having a going away party.

We got most of the trusses for the roof up this weekend, hopefully 2 more weekends and we will be done with this shit!!

I also repainted my wiper arms cause one of em got scratched (i have painted em before) dont worry, they are black, although I am considering going uniwiper for a while, but I think that will probably fuck up my aerodynamics and gas mileage.

I installed a bushing.

jer replace the rear motor mount (yea! now there is 3 good ones) and the upper control arm on "hoopty whoop"...+2 points. then he took off to the lake with his friends to wakeboard -5 points....doh! :hehe:

well, I didn't get as much done today as I would've hoped, but I did cut out the base of the fiberglass sub pod, and it turned out really smooth... Pictures will be up tomorrow when I get to work...

Just remembered I have a $150 gift cert. from Car-toys, going there tomorrow to pick up a 1 farad cap and possibly some battery terminals...

how much weight are you adding to the car?
sounds pretty heavy
