[QUOTE="FLYONWALL9@AOL., post: 6541130, member: 615586"] First I really need to apologize to those of you who have subscribed to my build. I know its likely the slowest build on this board and for that I'm sorry. I was able to get some new meds this week after my old dope really stopped working. The blessed UPS man delivered my goods to- day and by 4pm I felt like working on my kicks. I'm sure many of you are my age and working at bench height takes a toll on the neck. One of the meds I got today really helped that, I'm grateful. This update really isn't anything you guys haven't seen before but its not yet documented in my build. I drew up a tear drop shape for the Quart 4" and tweet. Cut that out and drew out where the mid and tweet would be located. It really looked too large so I reduced that down quite a bit to a shape just small enough to hold the drivers. These parts will be painted red (I think) with the rest of the kick paint matched to the exterior of the car. I took the factory kick panels out of the car and took a mold of those. Again, nothing you guys haven't seen. I had some issues with some old resin not setting up so I went and purchased new. I had to make up some hot batches to flash the old resin. I'm quite glad this worked, I **** sure didn't want to re- mold them. I hope this weekend I can get those molded parts trimmed to near the shape they should be. I'll then remask the inside of the car, place the new kick in and bondo them for a more exact fit. Again, nothing you guys haven't done. However, I will take pics of this process to show just how cramped the working area and what lies behind the panel. You'll see how very well made these little cars are. I've settled on a door panel design and am looking really forward to getting to those. The pull handle, and all door trim will remain black, the coverings will be a red leather called "LOBSTER" with the part that I'm glassing being paint matched (silver) to the car. It sounds really busy but it should look pretty classy. If I don't like the silver I'll paint them black. The thing is the silver look will be carried to the inside of the sub enclosure and amp, processor rack. Also, today I found my old IXOS 6chan RCA's that I may cut up and use some nice Phoenix Gold ends. In the same box was my old IXOS speaker wire. Now I have to talk my nephew into taking my old power wire out of my old car to match all the rest of the gear. That crap was like 6 bucks a foot, I sure hope he proves me wrong and gives it to me... You just cant find that stuff now. [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c118/flyonwall9/IMG_3333.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c118/flyonwall9/IMG_3332.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
