looking good!!!!!!

Looks beautiful. You are probably putting some serious insulation behind that back panel I imagine? From what I understand that's where a lot of your road noise comes from as when u take gas tank out of cab you have tremendous reverb from the back of the cab like its a big drum. I love the way that panel looks

looks awesome...im on the fence on the inserts myself but have some super cool sound ideas with them.....i want them because I have a crazy gas tank idea as well as the speakers but just haven quite pulled the trigger on it. I like the SSR set up different and fits very well thought out....ive spend hours creating similar out of wood and wood super glue to create a similar look....next time someone wants this Im buying that center first..lol

Interested to see what you come up with on the Zune. I've got mine going from the earphone jack on the Zune into the mini amp's RCA input's. It works.....but if there's a better way.

That would be awesome if it worked with a Zune. Looks like it Apple only though.

[OLDIRON69]

killer build. I just spent an hour drooling over it!

[mcbassin]

Very nice progress Jim! I love the custom panels on the rear of your cab!

[jtp67-72]

Finished initial fit of console today...working on e-brake mounting now..U can now see where e-brake will tuck in like factory!...don't let height of console fool U....it's perfect with seats installed....you'll see some pieces added on pass. side to complete panel..at rear of stock panel was fuse box cover....now about half exposed and epoxied in place.....side panels will be covered in final plan.........jim
