I painted my grille to match the color of my paint.


Put a voltmeter where the cig lighter was.


Mounted an amp for my 6x9'*. I put a aluminum plate behind the thin board it'* mounted on. It'* sloppy but I'll hide the wires later.


Fiberglass Box for a 15" sub.


New exhaust. You can see the old under it in the pic.


I welded on a IMCO dual outlet muffler. Sounds pretty damn good. Better than the glass pack.


Finished box and mounted amp to the trunk floor. I ran the wires under the carpet and slit holes for them.


I put in new fog lights. I forget who they are made by I got em from Wal Mart. Behind them I put in some extra headlight housings from a 67 covette. Maybe that will shave down my 1/4 mile time .


Last but not least, I am proud to announce that I got engaged in October before I went TDY. This is my Fiance Audre and I.


I am also getting ready to put struts on. Monroe Sensatrac that I found for cheap. And
in no particular order I will also put in new 180 thermostat, fuel filter, and PCV valve. I think that'* all I have going on now but if I think of anything else I'll post it.

Got rid of the 180 Turn in the exhaust, nice plan. Someone else is planning something similar i've talked to offline some.

Nice work

Thanks GAMEOVER

I came up with the idea to put the voltmeter there because I wanted to keep myself from smoking in my car. Just a little reminder when I pushed on the voltmeter and it wouldn't lite up for me.

BTW I painted the bulb inside of the voltmeter to match all lights inside but can't get a good picture in the dark.
