sweet rebuild man...i wish i had a muscle car

thanks creeps

i need some help with some positioning. the box is going to be in lieu of the back seat on the driver's side. would the best combo be sub and port forward? if yes port on top or port on bottom.

port (and sub?) to the side and use the trim as a loading wall? seal the trunk completely and face both to the back of the car?

i know this isn't the ideal placement but i'm trying to make the best of it

thanks in advance

nice

shanks

it snowed.. a lot

my buddy got stuck coming to my house to diagnose a few rattles. had to walk a good two miles to my truck so i could pick him up. seems like there is a downside to having 300+ pounds of equipment in the car other than not being able to use the spare tire haha. 2 fi q12 and a dd m3

used three spl tiles and a sheet of damplifier. only one tile on there for the pic

new pretty radiator

Nice work. Im looking at picking up the exact car for 500 bucks, complete rustbucket but shes got the big boy 455 under the hood. Been sitting for 10 years but was running when parked, someone stole the wheels off it. Should be a fun project. May swap the engine into my daily driver and just scrap the body. Car has 40k original miles.

Looks good. Good luck on tracking down all the buzzes and rattles that appear out of no where on these old cars. Whats the system going to consist of?

yeah the other side of the shaker says sd455 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif nice find. mine was more than that and wasn't worth what we got it for.. it eats cam lobes like a mofo.. well used to. hopefully the rebuild is a-okai and the bigger cam pays off. but it will be getting a butler 462 sometime. sometime..

thanks. that stang of yours is beautiful by the way. the front bumper looks badass and makes it look even more like a skyline. i approve. ug don't tell me about rattles. it's mostly the dash and that's gonna have to wait till i can replace the windshield but there's gonna be 100 square feet of deadener in it so fingers crossed. uum i'm going with that sundown 1200 for the amp and either a 15" xcon or havoc..or two 12" icons. i'm leaning towards two icons because.. not really sure why. if i can nab two with inverted dustcaps it's a done deal. alpine v12 for the mids and tweets get the 3622. no idea what to do for the speakers themselves..

i asked my neighbor to give a mini fiberglass clinic cause he builds big ass rc planes. it ***** ass and i'm not looking forward to doing pods but here you go..
