Not to bust Mario's balls. But does your lovely wife know what "Project Creep" is.

Because you sir have a serious case of project creep.

I may have mis-interpreted the photos, but it looks like at least some of those containers are for mid-range/low range speakers ? Subwoofers have specific parameters for sealed boxes and work well in that configuration, but most 5-6" woofers and mid ranges are designed for "infinite baffle" or free air mounting. Placing a typical speaker like that in a small enclosure as shown can significantly affect the audio performance in a negative way. If that one set of speaker boxes are mounted in the 1/4 panel or kick panel, I would encourage you to open up the enclosure to an airspace that does not acoustically connect to the interior.

Fab looks great though. The fit on the gill replacement panel is unbelievably tight. Still can't figure out how you experts get from the weld to the smooth panel and make it look like it was never touched though.

Oh she knows what it is trust me ! She knows every time I visit Troy its :G-Dub: Married 27 years she figured it out. It seems everthing I do has a way of getting out of control. From cars to snowmobiles(you know that story) to my home theater every time I tell her a number she knows its going to be WAY over what I tell her. She calls my nephew and now Troy my ''inabiler'' !:cheers:

Originally the cowl was open because this is where the interior compartment drew fresh air and to access the windshield wiper mechanism. With running the vintage air system and no windshield wipers we no longer need the fresh air. Yes we could have still left it open but that seams care less in my eyes when building a car to this caliber.

This was a question I had wondered about. You do the bumper modifications with the chrome still on it, do you strip it afterwards and how?

Great work! Looks amazing and coming along well.

the fab work looks amazing!

The only comment I would make is, from experience, sub enclosures made from metal sound terrible, because they ring and flex too much.. Have you tried yours out to see how it sounds?

is it too late to make the box removable in case you decide you dont like the sound, or you want to change the sub etc?

The kick wells should be ok because they dont put out as much energy so can be controlled with damping material.

We have not tried this specific box for sound but have done this before and if done correctly sounds equally as good as a MDF box and drastically drops the weight. Most importantly it keeps wood out of the car.

Jeff thats hilarius!:lolhit: Amit I have to tell ya I can really care less how this system sounds . I told Troy to keep it as simple as possible no over the top amp rackets or any of the other BS that goes with these killer systems. This is a basic 5 channel amp system nothing crazy.
