Well, obviously the brace wasn't there before.So it must not have been needed, or don't you think he'd put it in? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

box looks great man good job!

I personally would have done a few things slightly different but it dont matter really.

I like those corner braces too, gonna have to snatch me up a set of those //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

He said he would file the cutout for me to make it look better. Im gonna take him up on that offer. Other than that i think he has done good work so far.

Got alot of work finished today, and I'm pleased with the progess and quality of this box. I hate to say it, but this thing is better than my box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Here is some updates:

Finished the sucker with exception to the terminals which is currently on backorder. Didn't have a camera for a good portion of the day, so I just took pics of the final product.

Last one is where the carpet joins together on the bottom of the box. The rabbited edges really makes the carpeting job alot easier. Many thanks to BJ for introducing me to the concept, and James Bang for many of his inspirational builds.

only thing i can think of to make it better, is if u start routering the port walls and bracing (round over bit)

^lol... i've been trying to get him to for the whole thread...

carpet looks pretty good... how will the box be mounted? will the sides be visible at all??

it could use a lil more paint in the port, but not too shabby at all.
