anything is possible. I've seen an LS2 in a Miata.Quote:

So while I was waiting for some paint to dry today, I decided to try to start sizing up the door panels I'm making.
here is a pic of what I was planning on doing, but now I'm throwing out the stocks and making a full custom panel.

now, the new speaker scheme is going to be SOMEWHAT like this.

Unlike the panel above (beast from da east) I'm still going to have a door handle release, being a daily driver it's just good to have one for safety reasons.
So I found these, they should go pretty nicely with the panel.

All the window and lock controls are being relocated to the center console.
Just ordered door poppers too from AVS,
AVS door Poppers S10
And right now I'm just about to size up making the skeleton for the new panel... stay tuned!

I recall a pallet in the last build, let's hope this one get's finished.....:laugh:
the difference is now I have everything now to at least install a system, even if it's not the final one I have planned. ... before I never had or could afford the batteries and alternators :)Quote:

it literally took me 30 minutes to take a shower, thats how much dust and crap was in my hair from wire grinding. Right now I'm in the process of taking the whole engine bay apart to clean/coat it. I also need to switch out to new control arms because the truck was having a leaning problem due to the control arm.
here is what the alt bracket looks like, I only have this photo to go on.

this is just a template I'm making, the real bracket will be much more sleek looking.
