well I went with 7 it was easier and i didnt have to move the box as far forward.

I'm going to try and make it to joe labatos show this year but farmington:eek:

 
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

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
