My mom and uncle are deaf...lol Ur probably too far away I've seen some the stuff it takes it to do all that too.....its like whoa!

Tedious shit

My trunk sucks just as well.

Trimmed the excess. Little more mapping and then pull it out for final paint. This is a slightly better presentation of the layout.

Its sheeted inboard too.

Its half fiberglassed over right now....might add a kerfed sheet.

It won't be the prettiest one. I like your dualy tho....Ive wanted to do one.

The theme for this is just get it done someday.

This build don't count. I was actually waiting for that.

Used to be the challenger guy Not no more :'( thats just what Im gonna call ya for now on. it stuck

Thats all flashback so bare with me as I get on a proper timeline and back in order. Some stuff isnt as shown anymore lol

This one just to show I started pretty much right at the beginning. Nothing special just a 305 to 350 swap no gear head stuff.

Well, after relentless debate over the ol hoopty I suppose Im gonna brush the dust off off her, well the leaves, acorns, and pine needles actually. She's been worked on and stalled and repeat and parked and well down right neglected as it wasnt a daily driver anymore. Ive pretty much figured hell Im this far and she has never let me down so its time to pamper the bitch and get her back on track. The ol Hoopty is in route for 2 18s....I got the enclosure mapped out for it already etc. Im doing a pair of Evils...thats the mission for that even tho gear is a bit out. Ummmm Im aiming for the Punch Pros in the doors. I think I can do that hoping I dont have to mod the current baffles but if I gotta start over well whatever. Thats two tweets, two 8s, and 4 10s and a couple 4 channels to be dertermined. IDK what Im gonna do for amps in general. Shes set up for dual Alts 1 stock right now and a EA 250 on the other side...room for about 3 if need be but again gear is totally a later thing. Theres Shok stuff in there for wire already so Ill roll with that. She needs TLC and some work but I will get her caught up....logs are the push for me. So basically some pics to get ya where it currrently is but I did skip over some stuff.

Watching

Sup Challenger guy! Im still up here in the trees Welcome

I used the center of the factory tweeter grilles for symmetry. The pods are are mounted with a thru bolt. Fender washers on both sides sturdies the trim piece. The pic showing the external nut was just reference. A nylon nut was installed inside the pod before mounting the speaker. The rear thing is a cannon plug backshell used in aviation electrical connections. I may go to the usual lamp hardware tho and rewrap. The windshield reflections are minimal practically null in this location. The driver plane is about 2" rear of the upmost part of the windshield. Ive found I need to move the driver side a touch more on axis. It messes with cosmetics so Im gonna do the same pods in the same way but up to 4" diameter pods. They will look more spherical and gimme a touch more volume to more represent the graphing of the ES-3. Ive jammed the mid and tweet combo for a bit already in a crude sense but its sounding fantastic already. Fixin to get on the doors here shortly. I just ordered the bill of materials to get going on that. This is the first time Ive been anal about deadening. Other builds usually stopped at CLD. Second Skin plug......Im not using anything else ever...lol and I ve used a few to know why. The deadening still continues as I will be doing liquid under the whole car in the coming months. It is very coffin like and very rewarding. I can only hear the external components of the car besides some minor buzzes that I will tackle here as I go. The wire installation is to Boeing Standard Wiring Practices and I have all the manual references and photos of how it would apply on aircraft. Mostly the engines as thats what I build and I routinely help avionics harness our engines so I thought itd be cool to theme the build accordingly. Im still in the rules for IASCA too so win win. Plus Moe Sabourin said if its FFA legit than its good enough for a car. As elaborate as it looks the same practice can be followed with the usual bay install hardware, its all about approach I suppose. I didnt and will not use zip ties in this build only because we avoid them at work. I would use them otherwise tho. Thanks for your feedback, I'll answer all that I can. Ive done a lot of tinkering and this build is just to show what I can do from a personal standpoint. I think I would put the same ethic into any build or would be customers build.......actually I WOULD its just how I am lol

If I beat ya to it Ill have it posted in detail on getting it in. I'm kinda doing some other stuff in that area or at least want to.

I'm gonna smudge a XS D3400 eventually. Toolmaker is doing a distro top for that. Ill do Big 3 and reharness the stock stuff to comply with the batt.

Alright headway on this continues. Theyll be higher but I got em mapped out. Its pretty much mount, route, and clean up everything. Then the more critical cosmetics and ideas I have in store.

Still brainstorming

Well there's supposed to be a Mino on the way so I had to get going on the wing piece for the amp rack. I managed to get it cut down to a workable piece tonight.
