p.s. its not the ebrake thats blocking. its the parking brake. so i kinda need that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

huh?

you know ebrake and parking brake are the same thing?

also for who ever keeps calling it a dead pedal...its not.

the dead pedal is the floor directly behing the e/parking brake, where that piece of plastic is.

as for the kicks....if they wouldn't fit up in the corner i would of glassed them in the doors...but hey its your whip, as long as you like em. they're coming along nicely.

use large toothed jigsaw blades.

they eat through fiberglass.

and on a second note, you are going to want the edges as rounded as possible. in this picture;

i would not have the little top and right bump areas. make those flush with the rest unless you want some retarded wrinkles. id cut it like this;

ehhh??? i was told fine toothed!!

grrrrrr! wasted 4 bucks.

 

[req 5,000+ posts]

no no. fine toothed is for metal. you definatly wanna use wood blades - you will be amazed how quick a nice 14 tooth per inch blade will cut that shit. (iirc 14t\in)

make sure the jig saw blades are high carbon steel or carbide tipped. Regular wood blades will dull very quick when cutting f/g.

cut the top one the same way.

somthing like this, try to get the front side to be flush with the bottom of your baffle-

make sure the jig saw blades are high carbon steel or carbide tipped. Regular wood blades will dull very quick when cutting f/g.

that too. good tip, rather spend $12 on quality blades that will last, than $6 blades that will dull\break.
