maybe if someone has one that they are goin to trash if its in bad condition maybe you can work off that depending on how bad it is.
so far i have not see one destroyed or anything lol

The only problem with custom sub-boxes is they need to have to correct cft for the sub, otherwise you are missing out on a LOT of sound.

07-18-2012, 08:30 PM
and it could be bad for the sub because they need room to breathe.
DRM Racing
07-18-2012, 08:32 PM
when it comes to the sub boxes I will build them to spec for each sub requested.

Yea I know what a cowl is... Your 79 elcamino is ricer only if your didnt need the extra cowl space for a larger motor. If you have a big motor and needed more room for bigger carbs than your good. Post up pics of cowl hood closed and then take a pic with your hood popped. Ill tell you if your a ricer

No, they were also for "cowl induction" back in the day, which really didn't work all that well. It was intended to pull air in from the base of the windshield.

Yea I mean I just want to know what the people on this site consider to be "ricer" and whats not I wasn't trying to be rude or anything. but I do not see how a cowl induction hood would be considered "ricer" thats all.

anything you do to your ride can be considered rice. its all just a matter of opinion thats all. i personally like the cowl hood and would love to make on or pick one up for my alero.But do i care what others think? no, only cause I am building my car for me not everyone else. what kind of fenders would you all like to see?

metal fender, neverdone made some that flarded out an inch more. personally I kinda like the v-fivber ones but more would say a metal not so cheezy cut out on would be better.

well right now im working on fiberglassing the door panels and the kick pods. going monday to a local pic a part to buy more door panels, a dash so I can make a mold of it, and center console and radio bezel. if anyone is interested in door panels let me know what your wanting to see out of them cause I am starting the prototyping this week.

you should get a stock hood, make some molds, and maybe try and form a nice cowl :) instead of actually having to mold a cowl hood. im sure it can be done, just gonna take some time.

If you make a dash cap, I'll buy one...and a cowl hood if you can get it done before neverdone gets the bubble hood out. which I assume will take a while (if they ever do it)

Im interested to see what you make :D

Can you make pods that allow fitment of a 6" speaker in the kick panel near the hood open, and vice versa on the passenger side? i saw them once, and they would really add to my sound setup. Also, quad gauge pod?
DRM Racing
07-23-2012, 08:41 AM
the speaker pods in the kick panels will hold either a 6.5 component or a single 6.5 coaxal. as far as he cowl hood. I will have to make one first, perfect it then make a mold of it. So my first cowl hood will be out of metal, then the rest will be fiberglass. same with the fenders
DRM Racing

ok so I am almost done with the kick pod prototype and have done a mock up of a door panel. please let me know what you think on the door panel.
colors on the door panel will depend on what you want.

I drove thru E-town past Big O today, I think I saw a silver Alero parked on the far end of the lot. I must have seen 10 Aleros today, 2 with aftermarket rims.
