So the weather is turning nasty and Money Pit is going into hibernation, so what to do? Mod of course, and up this winter will be an insulation and stereo upgrade. Ok, what I have planned, Dynamat the doors and Exotic Vette heat and sound insulation for the interior. Great service, very fast, nice kit, thanks to Exotic Vette.
http://www.exoticvette.com/Exotic%2.../insulation.htm
Audio equipment will be, CDT HD642 comp set for the doors, CDT up524xt upstage kit for the A pillars, two Image Dynamics 8" subs in back, two Cadence M3000 amps to drive it all and a Kenwood XXV-01D in dash.
Already custom made the box and amp rack so next up will be interior removal and the project will really begin. Will post pics as they come.

This should help to make a better winter, although nothing compares to taking a ride on a great day!

Your planned mods sound awesome. By the time the weather clears up, you will definitely think that it was worth the wait. Enjoy.

Yup, I'll do that. Planning on taking photos to post and depending on how the custom sub enclosure works out I will have plans made for others to use if they want them.

This will help pass a long cold winter,
