So removing the fenders and selling them for gas money isn't an option?

[John Prophet]

Nope, actually gas isnt really an issue I live less than a mile from work.
Plus I want to get the OEM fender flares for it once I get started with the body work.

Ok so its time to do some upgrading to the audio...

Im thinking 10" in a ported box under the back seat, well actually to get the airspace Ill be needing it would have to be a modified dual 10" sealed box, un baffled with the second sub blocked off, should give me a spot to mount an amp if Im lucky too. Going to have to buy the box itsself, and just modify it to suit my needs.

Now sub wise, Im wanting retarded levels of bass. And if I didnt have to actually have the back seat I would be saving for an Hcca from Orion, BUT I need the back seat. Anyways Im stuck, Kicker L7 solo baric, Soundstream Tarantuala, or a Sundown audio.

All three are around the same price, all three will absolutely pound, the Kicker will require some cut work to get it in the box. And yes the box will be tuned down to the 30-40 range.

I cheaped out, got a single 10 Rockford fosgate P2D4 and a sealed box.

And it was a good investment!

So now Im trying to chase down all the interior vibrations (loose shitty plastic panels) Still need to upgrade amps, REALY leaning towards the mini amp from rockford right now, the PBR series, or even the slightly larger ones. And the fronts STILL need propper cross overs.

Aside from that, audio wise its basicly done.

In the next month or two, its going to be parked and the body work will commence. Traded the uncle in law the Explorer with a shot tranny to do the body work, which is cutting the rot out, welding in new corners, OEM flares over the wheel wells, smoothing the body its self (no more dents and dings!) And doing a bit of touches here and there both under the hood and the truck itsself.

Anyways Im kind of stuck at this point. The truck will be returned in primer, completely de dented, zero rust no holes. I dont know what color to paint it...

Im kind of leaning towards using flat or satin orange vinyl wrap for the sides, and then doing a big stripe down the center, IE, grille, headlight surrounds, hood, roof, and tailgate, either covering with 3d carbon, oe having it sprayed gloss or satin black along with the fender flares.

Oh and I need to source a damned cowl hood...

For every cowl hood you own, you get one extra pussy per day.

So the fake ones that you stick on with double sided tape count? A lot of aliens around me have those on their Hondas. I guess that would explain their ten kids lol
