You've already bought the new rotors right?

Just hope it doesn't get to the point where you gotta hide what you bought

You mean the old Rat-Holing trick?

When you get caught you just use the same line they give you, "But they were on sale"

Todd, I hope your taking notes

My wife was down in Portland where my brother in law (best friend for 42 some years) has a nice warehouse... and where I had stashed TWO '69 Camaro Convertibles.

She comes home on Sunday and there's some guys in the shop - she walks through and very casually says "so.... just how many cars do you own....?" and just keeps on walking. She wasn't looking for an answer - it was just a statement that she "knew" now that there was more than meets the eye. We never discussed it - and she never asked anything more about it. I don't ask her how many pairs of shoes she has either. It's just a taboo. That and I don't really GAF.

Todd - It might not be a bad time to invest in a store and lock. That way it looks like an income producing property to the wifey and you have your own personal rat-hole unit(s).........keep one with some crappy junk in it in case you get accused and have to fess up.

I guess you could always try that line Greg (""But they were on sale") lol.

Todd, do you kno when they installed your 2 6x9s and your sub, did they cut the package tray sheet metal underneath to accomodate the depth of the sub and speakers?

He had the panel done that fits over the amp and the rear package tray but didn't get any photos. They said it sounds great ...but the battery was out. Really looking forward to them working the back seat. Findlay Customs has some talent. Check it out.

Vic, to be perfectly honest, I don't know the answer. I know the sub and port are contained in it's own box and bolted to the car and I believe package tray. From the photo, the 6x9's look like they are also part of the box. I gave Findlay Customs free reign and permission to cut up the back package tray. I could sure take a look for you. I'd love to shed this weight....

Todd, Very nice thread. I have enjoyed looking at the progress of the 69. I also live in Henderson, although not Hendertucky. I have a 67 convertible project currently under way. I would love to look and get some ideas for by build. I have alot of my parts already and will be welding the new floor board in next week.
