August 27, 201015 yr Author My wife didn't want me to tell about this incident last night, but this is what happens when you let the wife use your grill to cookout while you and the son are workin' on the car.....The food was great, but I think the burners got turned to high and was forgotten about and it wasn't long after I was fighting a fire and the firedepartment came and.....let's just say it slowed progress and I have a few more gray hairs and maybe a few less.By sefugi at 2010-08-26By sefugi at 2010-08-26When the fire dept. got to the house I had put out the fire and they said I did good to keep the tank cool. Grill is a total meltdown. It got so hot the metal was dripping on the ground like slag when your welding. No one was hurt except for the grill, we just wont be grilling out for a while. I'm getting my subs before I shell out for a grill. Guess I thread jackd myself with this but I wanted to work on the car instead of doing the grilling.
August 27, 201015 yr This is an incredible build and you Sir have kept SSA on the edge of our seats watching. What a wonderful build log this is.Oh and I agree - Subs > Grill, but on a side note charcoal > gas.

August 28, 201015 yr Author OK for what I was working on last night. The door panels. Not much changed here from factory. We cleaned up the trim peices with a little paint, streched the opening for the midbass speakers, and ran the wires for the leds that are installed in the a/c vents and the map pocket. One led in the def vent for side glass and two in the a/c duct.By sefugi at 2010-08-28Two leds in the map pocket.By sefugi at 2010-08-28By sefugi at 2010-08-28By sefugi at 2010-08-28All wires tied into single feed that will tie into the circuit allready run into door.By sefugi at 2010-08-28Had a mod done to the inserts for the door panels. The inserts were trashed and needed attention. Had them wrapped in leather with a stitching applied. My son's name is Hunter and he is into a lot of Spanish, so I came up with a twist of the Sounstream logo and his name in Spanish. El Cazador "The Hunter" Also had the Mitsubishi emblem in the spider's butt. What do you guys think?? OK?By sefugi at 2010-08-28Panels ready to install...By sefugi at 2010-08-28By sefugi at 2010-08-28Now we just have to get all the stuff that is ready installed on the car. More work to do and more updates to come....
August 28, 201015 yr Real Fresh , I like the theme because The Hunter also applies to the spider. The spider on the door looks like a black widow with the red mark and we all know Black Widows are hunters, they look for male spiders just to mate with them and then kill them.
