I've got my blow up bed ready to go! I'll probably sleep in the shop! LOL!

I think your new ideas are just completely wild - but knowing you and from what I saw in your previous install it's going to decimate all.

Thanks for all the input and ideas! I really apprciate it!

Thanks Sasha - Pray to God my amp rack turns out the way I want! It sounds so easy in my head.

Self Tip - Measure twice cut once!

looking good btw..

Back in the day I built a Mustang with a completely removeable amp rack/sub box. I use RC Lightspeed connectors (Anderson Powerpole) for all the speaker connections. I like how they interlock so you can make a custom molex of any size you like.

Day 10

Dynamatted the Rear hatch and used my last two sheets in the tire well and rear corners.

Applied some Liquid eDEAD to the corners on the rear!

Re-installed the glover box and center console.

Re-installed the HU - Let me tell you so much nicer with independent wires B+ IGN and GRN. The metra harness made is bulky - Not I can tuck the rca properly and clean up the wires (sorry no photos) - Battery was dead

Installed a negative switch for a relay to control the fan!

All wires have been tested for '+' & '-' (rather be certain now then later)

Tomorrow is going to be amp rack day! I have a meeting(**** on TV-WFT??) in the morn so only half a day - at least I'll be able to mount the amps (hopefully and get things moving! More photos tomorrow

Looking for Grade A fiberglass - PM me

I'm literally killing myself to get this done - home at 3am up at 10am leave for work around 7pm -

The sub enclosure is going to be a work of art(hopefully) - Amp rack is going to be fun tomorrow! - I wish I could do what you ding in the well but I want to keep my spare!

maybe I'll do a spare tire poll!
