Thanks for all the kind words guys!! I can still walk very short distances and I use a cane most of the time, but I used to not be able to walk at all (until a very expensive and experimental surgery) and I am still fighting a very serious disease, but it doesn't stop me. I really wish I had a table saw though. The top turned out "out of square" but usable, so I had to stick with it in order to have some wood left over (ha ha) to build my amp racks. I still honestly don't know how it got out of square so bad. All the other cuts were just fine. After I get some fresh eyes in the morning, I plan on squaring everything up so it looks seamless and get to building the amp rack.

I am still open for suggestions for a color scheme or design to use. Hit me up with an example if you got one, and I might be able to do it! I plan on taking a whole bunch more pics guys, no matter how bad my work is, cause not everything turns out like it's supposed to, but a little extra work, and things tend to get squared up!

I think it should be wrapped in a real dark carbon fiber (or look a like) material, maybe with a Cadence logo somewhere.

Carbon Fiber look it is!! That's what I needed, some help, thanks Bro! I never thought of that, and I like it, it will match the interior, and I think I saw some at Jo-Ann Fabrics when I was looking at carpet.

How does everyone make templates for odd shaped things. Under my rear seat is getting the amp rack but I need a template. Card Board? Poster Board?

Some 1/8"ish corrugated cardboard---- like from a fairly study cardboard box---- would prolly work well. I'm thinking posterboard might be a bit thin, unless you're really having to put it thru major contortions

You have more ambition than I do that's for sure lol

Got a question Fella's! I am preparing to cut the false floor and amp racks and I need some pro help. When I mount the amp and run the wire up through the wood it's mounted on, do I cut the hole first, and then cover? Or do I cover the wood, and then drill through the covering and the wood it's mounted to? Pic v

(This is the old amp rack and not the real one, just using it for a picture reference)

I am trying to make it look as clean as possible, so maybe a pro like @pro\-rabbit can chime in too. The covering is not carpet, it's more like a black denim.

I am still trying to find something that resembles Carbon Fiber, but no luck so far @kushy_dreams so I may have to pass on that idea. I really really liked that idea too

ic, a fatmat decal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif, but looks good so far.

Drill the wholesaler first then wrap it. Use a Sharp blade and a small x cut over the hole. Pull the wire through and then push it back to het the carpet to look right in the hole.

As far as templates go, I like to use poster board or mat board(used for artwork and is thicker than poster board.) My mom is an art teacher so I always had easy access to mat board so thats mostly what I used. I have also used that brown heavy paper for packing. That stuff works real great when you need bends and curves for sheetmetal.

TERRIFIC IDEA! Glad you're liking this one Joseph. Hope that turns out well.
