    Made two tunnels for RCA cables and speaker wires that run from the console to the amps/speakers. The tunnels are hidden under the plastic covering on the sides of the driveshaft tunnel

    • Nice one Alan. Hell, I can't even get around to installing an amp, let alone enclosures as of yet.

      Let's see. Got back to the house about 20 minutes ago {2:30am} from an hour and a half drive around Omaha with the new high rate CVPI springs in the front. And I managed to not get any tickets...considering...well...pleading the fifth.

      Got the roll pan from the painter, got my front seat uppers from the interior shop.

      I need to sleep, but I am wired. MT Dew at midnight was a bad idea.

          • That is gonna be nice, Alan....
            There's something about alignment shops Danny....had Earl in for an alignment, tech lost his balance up on the lift while leaning over the fender, dropped his ratchet, and installed three chips in the fender. The painter has it, even as we speak........

                • Hell, if you had a Ford I've got them for C4 and C6 collecting dust.
                  I don't know GM stuff, otherwise I could hit up the u-pull-it yards around here, if I know what to look for.

                                That's an easy fix. Just take your iMac in the garage or bring your car into your house!
