No, not a secret my dear. All's okay.
None the less... today was a day that I was not too impressed with throughout.
It all started when I took the dash off this morning (more on the dash later). I saw for the first time the mess of an electrical job the install guy did on my sound system.
This is the connection between the stock deck and the new wiring:

Unsoldered, electrical tape, finger twisted connections. Very unimpressed. This is was I got for 500 bones? Yeah... To say the least, it was ALL redone today. Especially the 20 guage wire connected to 14 guage... that was all changed around. So, reconnected, soldered, heat shrinks, and wrapped with electrical tape just to keep them all bundled:

While I was at it, I mounted the switch plate in and finished off the connections with the switches:

(L to R): Instrument Lighting, Master Power for the sound system, Floor Lights, Rear Lights, and Roof Lights.
Here's a quick picture of the sound setup in the back:

And finally, if it doesn't make sense, the lines that is, it really wont. But, they're just the hard cut lines for the wooden cover pieces going in...

The stock floor console will be redone and stretched to wrap all the way to the back, and then flow out to the sides... it's all up in my head, but, well, we'll see it when it's done.
SO, once I was done today, I got a phone call from the guys who are embroydering the leather that I'll upholster around the dash. Good news for once - they messed up the first one (the embroydery). So I went to take a look, and it wasn't messed up at all, they just made it too small, so they made me another piece. Basically, two skins. So, should anything happen to the first one, I've got a replacement. Makes me happy. I'll have a scan of the image up shortly.
Anywho, that's it for now.
OH! And Oldsnut, in regards to the sneaker pipe, YES, I did think about that. Had a mockup done, but, had too many issues with fitment of the pipe coming off the header, and being able to fit the Cat. Then I thought why not just do it 2/3 the length of the side. The cat would fit, but the pipe would then have to S it's way back to make it to the side... it DID look good, maybe something I'll think about down the road when a solution to the fitment is figured out, but at the end of the day, the 4 pipes out the side I think will give me the look I'm striving for (and sound too).
