Re: sneak peak oldschools 85
got amp rack done and started the speaker panels for on the lower door, I built the amp rack over 2 years ago and just now finished it like 3 days ago....I painted the back of it flat black and waited for the paint to set up then brushed it over and over again thought it would give a cool look behind the clover mesh......but it didnt but it still looked good

Re: sneak peak oldschools 85

Re: sneak peak oldschools 85
I don't know what to say about that..... Other than don't feel bad, I get very few replies to threads I start as well.
 I like seeing guys build from scratch, It shows different ways of doing things and shows their talents. And you sir are doing a good job, I subscribed to this thread at the start. I've been saving pics as you go for safe keeping. When I ever get far enough along with my project to do the interior, I will look back on all the saved pics and decide which ideas to incorporate in with my own to come up with my one of a kind interior. That's what this board it all about, People sharing ideas and knowledge. Thanks for your contribution !!!

Re: sneak peak oldschools 85
that amp rack is awesome. That gives me an Idea of how I'm going to do my speakers now. Not to steal your style just gives me an idea. Your truck is looking goooood.
