I like the new rims for this car. Can we get a close up?

Hey, the wheels that are in the photo's are just rollers from the auto-body shop. And the grey faced ones with the polished lip are SHOTT VECTORS in 20"x11" that were just put on as an idea.

Custom fabricated box that will house the Pioneer double DIN head-unit. Made from two pieces and compound cornered 100% with the Mittler Brothers bead-roller.

I like the radio box.

>Made from two pieces and compound welded 100%

What does compound welded mean ?
I assume you formed the indent with the beadroller, then rolled the edges over with a hammer before welding it to the rest of the box. Be interested if you had some other way of forming the indent. I guess you might have also hammer formed that using some wooden die pieces or something also.

We love it to, looks sharp and clean, looks like it belongs there and no added as an afterthought.

And good catch, that was a multi-tasking post mistake by me.
It's a compound cornered piece out of two sheets and TIG welded together along with custom bent/ rolled brackets inside to hold the stereo in place.

Pioneer double DIN mocked into the dash. Clean and simple.
