Haha yes I did man 

Just a little mock up of the amps to see how they would look

Rear doors are done and they both got the same treatment. Some second skin deadener on the doors and soundskins acoustic mat and speaker rings around the mids. 

Swapping out all the interior lights for  LEDs.

Trunk light upgraded to a blue LED

These are some real nice fuse holders, you can link multiple holders for a huge distribution power point or even turn them into ground blocks, really cool. I'll be using this one under the hood and may get another one for my battery to alt power run down the road from now.

I did all the interior lights Blue LEDs and it turned out great. 

Im not going to lie, I thought the blue would clash with the red cluster and panel lights. But it pops real nice, especially with the two tone seats. The side picture with the doors closed and windows up, shows you how bright lights are because that's 5% tint on those windows.

I gotta get one of those fuse holders!

I literally just ordered my second one a couple of hours ago.

 

I can't wait to see what you do with them.

I wont be linking them in this build but both will go under the hood, one for main power run to the back and one for the power run between battery and alternator. I do wish I was doing something special with them and taking advantage of their features but maybe in the future when I upgrade power but that wont be anytime soon.

Some new equipment to help calm my OCD

Daytime shot, still not fully wired up but I'm making progress 

License plates deadening finally complete since I just got the tags for the vehicle from the dealership. 

I thought I was the only person who deadened my plate.  Well, I don't necessarily deaden it, but adhere some 1/4" CCF to the back.  Works great.  You got that puppy wrapped up tight like a night with some super strange!

I didnt do the license plate at first either but since I been using a license plate frame around the license plate, the deadener helps between those two contact surfaces.

2/0 welding cable power run is ran through the firewall finally. Once I seen the light coming through the carpet, I was a happy camper. 

I hate their damn insulation!  That shit is always a pain to deal with.   You're kicking ass on this though!

Yes it is a love hate thing to be honest. Car is one of the quietest one's that I've ever drove, but layer upon layer of insulation is hell. But I appreciate the extra hole in the firewall they left me. I used some spray foam to seal that grommet back up from the engine bay side.

 

Thanks man I appreciate it, next steps are to get the Horns mounted (passenger side is done) and my voltmeter installed.

Thank you Aaron I appreciate it

Factory sub sucks and has been removed so I can deadened the rear deck area. 

Apparently they're not aware driver technology has advanced since the 70s.
