Absolutely fantastic work, I do fiberglass work myself and can imaging making those kicks would be one heck of a job :agree:

Thanks guys :agree:

Laid down three coats of base coat on the sub box....

After base coat came a few coats of clear...

One final shot for today - hopefully tomorrow I'll get the vinyl insert and sub in place, and the box into the car (although carpets are still a little way off).

Vinyl sub box insert was popped in place and sub positioned just for the pic (still have to fix it in place).

Hopefully will get it bolted in place soon.

No great advances - wiring pics will be up soon once I tidy it all up.

The optima yellow top D34 battery has been purchased - now I can sort out the power junction point and power/ground wires.

Dasdubber,,, Your system turned out very nice. Lots of hard work, but it sure did come together nice. :agree:

Dasdubber · #**115** June 7th 2005, 08:51

Hey Troy - dodge ram looks pretty tough!!

Thanks NO_H2O - its coming together pretty well - just can't wait to hear it!

Okay, a new update...
Started playing with the battery clamp (aluminium) and mdf surround....

The two long bolts will go through the floor up through the mdf and aluminium (through those two holes). The mdf will be fixed to the battery clamp and supported underneath the fuse block which can be seen here.

Of course the mdf will be tidied up, edge routed (roundover) and painted in body colour to match fuse panel box...and aluminium will be milled and polished.

Oh Maan Thats Pretty Far Out!!

:-)
Nice Peace..

Dasdubber · #**117** June 19th 2005, 06:34

No major progress - just prepped and painted the battery surround in two pack base/clear - will look pretty nice for something that no-one else will see! I'll have to lift the backseat up at shows

Hopefully more progres pics next weekend if the car is back from the trimmer by then.

Dasdubber · #**118** June 26th 2005, 05:40

Bit more progress today, cleaned up the earth point and used a Stinger fitting for the battery ground (1/0 cable).

The painted battery surround platform which houses the fuse holder was bolted into position along with the battery and ignition junction blocks (hidden under the surround)

Decklid spring is back on so it stays open without the old screwdriver in hinge trick - hopefully more work on the audio in the next week or so. Sub box went in this arvo (will get some pics soon) - just have to bolt it down.

Still a few things - the most major of which is to remove and paint the front beam and trailing arms - once these go back on the brake lines can be connected and bled. There is still a bit of wiring to sort out before final checks....then the engine can finally be fired up and run in!!
