well havent done much I got the alt in and charging and got the batteries in but that is it sorry no pix of the alt because it was a pain in my *** and I was getting pissy with it:laugh: anyways these batts are great so far after a charge overnight they sit @ 13.5 even the one i didnt put in has not seen a charge since day one. It still sit's @ 13.1 can't wait to rip on this system and see where the voltage goes now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/greedy.gif.5a53e6246569d7ab79867170f3b06629.gif

ok so i ripped out the 11" port and went to a 4.5" port to bring me up to 35hrtz.

so on the port I used mdf and stepped each layer back 3/4 so when I bondo it will be a nice rounded edge

here is a pic of half the face plate still need to do some bondo work around the edge's

I also got the control for the alt and my volt meter in. I put the meter there because there was already some holes from a compass from the x-owner. you can also see the control for the alt on the left of the console

I'm going to do some bondo work on the port in the morning and will post pix sunday some time
