You know us Guys. We need to see photos, lots of photos!

 

I need to see pis of that. I just did that to my sub box this last weekend. I put the Stingray script from a '74 on my enclosure.

Sounds like a fun project, yep, pics come next.

 

The sub is out of the car for now,I need to disassemble some to really seal it well.....but I think I have pics,or I can take more.I never took the time to learn how to post them here,so if I cant provide a link maybe I could email pics to someone knowledgeble?

 

Follow this link, read the paper, and give the old College try.

I have tons of pics at putfile.com,but for sone reason the page wont load.

 

Oh, just to warn you, Putfile is off limits here. The moderators will delete links to Putfile. I guess there is direct access to adult content from that site so linking even your page could lead to adult material.

Photobucket is one of the preferred methods plus they make posting images very easy with their thumbnail address feature.

 

Huh! I didnt know that,but all I've ever used it for is storage...never looked at anything else. I'm trying to acess my account at Photobucket,which I've never used for a couple years.Forgot my log-in info.Never really put any pics there. Sure hate to lose the ones at putfile. I'll be back....

 

Hers the sub pic. (3/4" MDF sub box w/Sony Xplod 10")
-I wanted to make it larger,but there are fiberglass enclosed 6x9's on each side and I wanted the 79's cargo curtain to pull over it.

 

This was taken before the new Hi-Rise Vented Hood install...

 

Very nice. That's the same emblem I used too. Just without the flag.

 

I got the 'Stingray' for around $10 off Ebay.Brand new! I think Ecklers has them for around $35? The flags is an embroidery patch

 

 

Very nice. Keep the pics coming.

 

Nice work on the vette. It looks pretty darn good.

 

New 2-tone leather & door sills-> Flamed auto shift ****,minus top pushbutton...console trim-> Local firehouse (oops,cut off the back end)->

 

I like the door sills.

 

My 31 year old sill panels look like dead carp.

 

That made me laugh via an absolutely hilarious mental image.

 

I love they way your shifter ball matches your dash trim...and the seats ROCK!
