Working on the dashboard

Hi guys,

So im working on the dashboard of the car. Got some cardboard and im cutting it to fit all the missing spaces in the dashboard. This is so I can get a basic template of what I need to fill those places. I can then transfere it to fiber glass or use the cardboard covered in leatherette.

See ya

Sound system continued

Hey guys, happy new years. So im posting this from my phone as my computer has finally kicked the bucket. So a moment of silence for my computer. ....and were done.

So I finally decided to get back to work on the cars sound system, I got around to installing the speakers in the door. For those of you who dont remember I did the D.I.Y speaker mold in an earlier post click here to see it. I took out the door covering/panels/whatever you call them and gave them a good cleaning using a foam cleaner I picked up at the grocery store, the brand does not matter.  Then I polished the material to give it back a nice shine. This step is not important as it really doesn't affect the job.

I then proceeded to use four 3 inch dry wall screws to secure each speaker to the door.  Make sure to measure speaker placement before to create an even look.

Once completed I ran the speaker cable along with the rest of the cables running trough the door such as the power windows,  locks and mirrors. Note, this may lead to interface when those devices are in use but im yet to find out.

Next step will be to run the power cable for the amp and hook it all up. Till then see ya
