Thank you Sir !!!

Also ... Got me a tow bar ordered so I can just hook up and pull her around instead of loading her on and off of a trailer all of the time ...

Nice Setup

Not sure yet brother ... but with all the work going on at the moment, I do not see any updates to the wheels and tires any time soon.Also in the pic on post #121, you can see that the wheel tubs are kind of narrow if I wanted to add bigger wheels and tires. So there might be some customizing there if we decide to go with bigger wheels and tires ... I haven't priced custom built wheel tubs in a LONG time !!! We may can go with alot of backspacing ... but narrowing the origional rear end is completely out of the question ... I sure that the hot rod builders from Mississippi Street Rod's Association will be helping me out with this at a later date ... I really would like to see this car completely on the ground with some big ass wheels and tires on it !!! Lead Sled style !!! Got my eyes on a set of cool universal 20s at my friend's pawn shop. He said that they are mine if they fit, but I have to get the car driveable (lights working for the most part) so I can get it up there to try them out ... He also has a set of old school Weld Wheels from a pro street car that may fit ... Well, front ones. The rear wheels and tires would require ALOT of work that I'm now wanting to get into at this point and time of the build ... I may look into finding some wheels out from under something like a Crown Vic, Town Car, or something similar ... I would like to have the aire ride installed before I made any kind of final decision on the wheel and tire setup ...

Thanks man !!! Yea, I wanted to bring it home, but the owner said that he was going to put it in his throphy case in his pawn shop ... Oh well

Check this out guys !!! A piece of old school Pioneer history ... pulled it out of the 38 Chevy !!!

The other day I got my hands on a set of bucket seats out of a 96 Chevy Silverado. They need to be recovered, but will work fine for now during the build to manuver the car around to the different shops and stuff ... The only problem was that the seats were too wide for the car. It has a big center console thingy so we too that off to cut off of a section of the seat brackets to make the seats fit properly ... Today I got one of my partners of crime in the Mississippi Street Rod Association Hulon Slay to cut, fit, and reweld my seat brackets ... Couldn't ask for a better setup than what I got. So far, everything is lining up perfectly !!! Thank you Hulon !!! Hopefully I will have the seats reinstalled back to the brackets and installed into the car this weeked ...

Over the last few days I've been working to help out a friend with his car's electrical system. We had to completly rewire his electrical. So we ordered a wiring harness kit for this. Easy to install, Bout the only hard part was gutting out the old rats nest of a wiring harness ... Since I'm doing this to my car, I volunteered to do his electrical setup in return he pays for my wiring harness kit ... Awesome Deal for both of us !!! I should be done with this by this weekend ... Just for an added thank you for his business ... I am wiring up and installing his stereo too (nice Pioneer unit with 4 speakers in fairly hidden locations) ... I will post pics when I'm done if anyone's interested.

Got my Wiring Harness kit ordered today ... Someone is taking care of this (ordering) for me while I'm running a new wiring harness kit in his 38 Chevy Coupe, So I will post the details of the harness kit as soon as I have it ... I'm going to try my best and detail that wiring setup as if the entire wiring / electrical section of this car is being judged in Sound Quality wiring inspection ... The only thing that I have to really concentrate on is the addition of audio / LED wiring in their respected locations ... I'm thinking that the only thing that really needs to be run on their own is the RCA (coax) cables, so I should be able to run them separately at a later date ... One step closer to getting this car on the road !!!

Looked more like he was using the truck as a vibrator ...

Yes Sir ... I understand

Yes Sir, I will give this to Johnathon Price ... at any given show or event, he will not compete, but show up religiously and crank that system up for anybody that wants to hear it !!! Wide open and dishing out everything that truck has to offer ... one day shows, two day shows, or even three day shows !!! all day long demo after demo after demo ... and people wonder why his truck is always getting worked on inbetween shows and events ... I've seen it too many times to count ... Say what you want, but JP is the demo king and most shows and events playing music, not just bass ... Please don't get me wrong here cause I'm not one of these in any way ... I'm just saying ... And to be honnest, Like Julian said ... I've seen that guy act crazy at several events, so I'm not really sure why this vid of a guy in a thong has got anything to do with JP other than the guy is walking around JP's truck ... Hell, JP himself is barely in the vid at all

The component set is going to be installed flush with the dash (driver placement, angles and such will be determined at a later date) ... On the drivers side as close to the driver door as possible and the glove compartment will be replaced with right side portion of the component set as close to the passenger door as possible ... If you look, you can tell that there is planty of room behind this dash. Enough room so that each midrange driver will get it's own ported and tuned enclosure ... More details on this will come later on in the build ...

Fire wall is as close to engine as its gonna get ... With the component set being installed directly into the dash, the stage should be up and out on the hood where it should be.

I wish ... LOLMy dad's shop is not that far from your house / area ... what did we say ?? about 45 minutes to an hour ??? I will have is set up for a tow-bar soon (too hectic to go on and off back and forth on a trailer) so I can get it back and forth to different shops with the truck to get work done to it ... Once it gets completely stripped, there is not much more I can do to it here at the house ... Maybe when you get time, you can meet up with me (hopefully before I can pull the system out of the truck) and give me some ideas with it ...

In this pic ... You can see that I took the Brake lights out and took them apart. They were Glass lenses. One of them was broke, So I gave the good one to Mike from Hyper to see if he can work some more magic and come up with something cool for my brake lights ...

We got the floor boards cleaned up so we can get some deadner in there and see about making enclosures for the kick pannels while we work on everything else ... From the looks there should be PLENTY of room to fit one 8 in each kick pannel area in their own ported and tuned enclsures !!! We are not installing any deadner at this time to the transmission / drive train area because we are going to install a floor shifter soon and will need to cut metal for that ... Also ... We are leaving some room open for the foot pedals just incase something needs to be repaired, replaced, or updated for new linkages or electronics ...

In the process of gutting out this car this weekend, I tried to snap a pic or 2 ... Here is one of the back seat / trunk area ... At the moment ... there will be no back seat installed back into the car. The old one was completely destroyed ... Maybe one day I can find another one to get in there, but for now it's not an issue to worry about at this time ... Also ... got the back driver / passenger windows assembly out so we can get the new windows cut and installed !!! Nice view of the wife's 2013 Chevy Cruize too ... The interior metal work is actually in much better shape than the picures show ... Some rusty places need to be cut out and be replaced with good metal. We will get to it as soon as we can ... I'm just trying to get everything gutted out and cleaned up so we can see what is going on with this ride !! So far, we are in good shape ...

Ok ... Time for a few updates !!! Took out the headlight assemblies and gave them to Mike (Hyper) to see if he can come up with some type of upgrades for me ... Yes, I know that the driver's side needs alot of work before the headlights can be permanently installed. We are going to french in the bessels (chrome trim pieces) so this should not be a problem for us when we get to doing body work on the front cap ... Also ... gonna take that grille off soon and see what is salvageable (rechrome) or neds to be replaced. The marker lights will be filled in. State law on these cars do not require signal lights if they were not and origional option ... Mike stopped by and delivered something to me on the way to Scrapin the Coast !!! These look AMAZING !!! Can't wait to see them on the car !!! Thank you Mike, If you get a chance ... please quote this post and give us some details on these lights !!! EDIT: Mike is on CA-F, so as soon as he post his update for this ... I will copy and paste it to hare !!!

Awesome Looking Truck !!! Nice Setup !!!

Nice Amplifiers

Nice Ride

I remember seeing Audiobahn amplifiers there ... Just not sure of the models. I think he is going to Lebanon, Tn this weekend for a MECA event, so I will get by there as soon as he has free time ...
