Mdf is a little warmer sounding, I now some serious sound guys that won't use anything else, They only use fiberglass if they can't get the space they need. That debate is a long and old one....on another note... DAMN NICE WORK JASON!!!

Very true about MDF, has a bit more boom than the sound of fiberglass. I made that comment just because of the weight and it looked out of place next to all of this VERY IMPRESSIVE fab work . Then again I managed to fit a 1" MDF box for 2 sealed 12's entirely underneath the package tray of my '72 Nova... it's big & heavy and needs to go away.

EDIT: The torx-head socket screws are a very nice touch and something that people either won't see or won't notice, but goes to show the AWESOME (!!!) attention to detail that this build exemplifies. Keep up the fantastic work!

Maaaaan, I hate this build (not really). It makes me look at my car with disgust and want to go out and spend more money. C'mon...I know I'm not the only one who thinks like this. The fab work on this car is not only flawless, but it is timeless. It belongs in a museam or something. Seriously, these pics need to go into one of those "how-to" textbooks for students wanting to learn fabrication skills or something.

I will have to add my own "holy sh*t you got skills" post! Truly beautiful work. I thought my abrasives bill was bad for our shop, you must use a couple sanding discs once in a while!?! Leaps and bounds nicer fab work than the trifive you had at sema last year, and that car was NICE!

I will be showing my employees some pics, not to copy just to keep them inspired to keep getting better.

Wow!, I just read this thread start to finish and all I can say is, "That is some of the most amazing work I've seen." That has got to be very gratifying.
