familiar sight amongst bass heads......

first layer down, consisting of 2 or 3 layers, 4 in the middle and under hat channel.

the floor board will be receiving alot of attention as well....the xcons did not move the roof alot, but i could hop a 35'

tape measure off the floor 4"/5" across the hole dam thing lol....strange place for flex, made it feel cool .

baffle bracing is prepped and ready for new baffle for the four 15"s

door work and a pillar work is in the works, 4 10" cresendos for mid bass, 16 3" full range tang bands, and two super tweeters.

Shits starting to get nuts!

[porkchop 304]

Someday brother, it will be, lol

[porkchop 304]

Needs buss bars, 2 @ 42"

This and the deadening is what I am working on.

390lbs. of batteries in the trunk, 425lbs. closer to accurate trunk weight. Suspension mods has been on my mind as well.

Nice to see this getting some attention. When do you need those bars by?

[porkchop 304]

i gotta goal to have some solid progress established by the end of october.

cleaned up electrical, finished deadening, and sub stage/ baffle installed....

doors, a pillars, and general front stage can continue to be on back burner

[nem 2,019]

Sounds good. If you don't have those buss bars by July let me know. I will bring them with me when I am in Indy next year.

[porkchop 304]

texting u in a bit... i demand full details!!!!

lol

[mccleery3 166]

Eagerly awaiting the progress

You know I'm down to help when I can bro

[porkchop 304]

Thanks bro.

I am working Saturday....not sure of Sunday will get any work done on it or not.

Budget is low until I pay off the Durango work.

Almost caught back up on last months bills, but this month is starting to come in now lol.

I was shooting for mid to end of October, but won't rush it.

Still gotta research my buss bars and dual inputs more.

Finishing the floor boards is probably what is on my plate if I can get some Sunday time.

[porkchop 304]

Floor board is sanded, got rid of the surface rust, applied several coats of rust preventive/primer and am ready for the next step.

I will get a pic up in a sec.

Your car brings back lots of memories. I had a 84 Cutlass back in 1996 that had gold 13in Daytons and two 12's in trunk and my little brother had a 84 Cutlass black like yours with a full Red's Hydraulics with 14 batteries, 4 pumps and 4 dumps. Mofo would bunny hop and do 3 wheel while driving down the road straight. We had lots of fun back in the day.

[porkchop 304]

Steve, yes, in the parking lot , lol, but it will be there, I want the ssa badge and iak logo to be seen and show support.

[porkchop 304]

Senchez, thanks bro

Swift, our first g-body was the most memorable, 85 regal, I wad just 17, me and momma chop loved that ride. Second, was 80 cutlass, a project had a strong start, but no finish, a lot of hopes, never took off. The third, a 86 regal with a 455 rocket, was our fastest one.to date, but this 86, is like family, she just sorta keeps hanging around, lol, we are racking up the memories with her quickly, recently tore out the fourth install, getting things together for some big plans.

I love the lowrider scene and all they do with these cars.

Everyone who knows me, is shocked by the lift.

[porkchop 304]

The primer looks rusty red in person

[shizzzon 461]

if there's anything i can do the weekend i'm there, name it! I can bring whatever so let me know beforehand...

You have a week to think about it,

Also, i do not mind working on yours or anyone else's vehicle as i had such a large support team that formed fast for me at Slam.

Even though things went south, I can and will always return the favor as car audio is a hobby i wont turn away from and one install

to another is all the same to me.. the goal is to finish.

[porkchop 304]

Awesomely said Sean.

I might have some box volume measuring goals to be looked at. Again.
