A long, long day... finished a bit of work today...

1st Pic - Pounding out the metal... this really, REALLY pissed me off. They replaced the aluminium I had made because they 'had an accident' they couldn't justify. So they cut new pieces and such... that's not the point... in shaping, there's marks left from the rubber hammer, then there's the sanding out of any scrapes or dents, smoothing it out, and drilling in the rivet holes. All of which should be done prior to sand blasting. Well, I said screw it, cut, shaped, sanded down, and polished it up... (from a video clip, so yeah, qualities not all that great).

2nd Pic is the side by side comparison. Self explanitory.

3rd Pic, the holes... cut for the 6x9, and finally,

4th Pic, 6x9's installed. Just need to throw in some "silicone" and that's that. That "bubblegum" shit is a bitch to work with. Much needed, but a bitch none the less. Anywho, yeah... tomorrow I'll remount the sub-frame inside, snap a pic so you can get the idea of the new shape in the back. Then the Parcel Deck will be covered, and blah-blah-blah... it's 3:30 in the morning, I'm tired...

What else tomorrow?... right... finish up the other three panels - nothing like getting the brushed/polished aluminium look by hand. Don't get me wrong, I love metal working, the old way - no English Wheel...

Dynamat the floor, take pics for a how-to on the LED's in the climate control, install the bloody floor console... what else... what else... I think that's about it, unless I'm forgetting something...
