I did a little bit of wiring on the stereo using the schematic I have. Left room to redo anything that doesn't work. Kathy suggested that I should hook the power up and just test it. Then I'll know for sure if it's right... or KABOOM!

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Vic,
I bought my Kenwood head unit and component speakers at a stereo place on hwy 40, I'll look and see if I have thier info and get back to you with that, I got everything at a competitive price, the tweeters in the component set can be be both surface or flush mount, they also come with bass blockers that are part of the wiring. My component front speakers are KENWOOD KFC-P709PS, about $65.00 The place I got my Kenwood stuff from was "http://www.customaudiocreation.com" I installed mine in the dash flush mounted, I used a hydraulic knock out tool that the electrician's use to run conduit into breaker boxes, very clean holes, no burrs at all. The hole sizes range from 3/4" to 4" plus. Let me know if you would like to use one of these sets, I can borrow them from work. Have a good one! Be

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
If you're going to attempt to build a box for the sub yourself, be sure to use MDF, which I think is what you see on TV. Most (probably 99%) of the pros use MDF for audio boxes. You wouldn't want your sub rattling the heck out of a metal box (and it would). Keep at it, it's looking good!

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
That subwoofer box will look great in there, the only thing you need to do now is buy enough subwoofer enclosure acoustic polyfill for your application, once installed the shape of the box won't matter nearly as much and the bass will be richer and more impactful.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks for the info, Brian! I never heard of the stuff, but da Google says you're spot on. Will acquire some and put it to good use.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thought I'd take a short break before starting work on the console. The sub box turned out better than it should have given my lack of woodworking skills. I had to remove the center gas tank mounting tab so the box would sit all the way back to the rear cab wall. I went ahead and rounded the corners on the front edges of the box, but I'm not sure if that will help or hinder the upholstery guys. I figure they've seen it all and the good ones can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
I plan to tie into the sub box with sheet metal for the console going forward. It's a lot less bulky and a few of the shapes I have in mind would be difficult with MDF.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Lest you think I've been slacking, here are some shots of the console in progress. The pattern I laid out in my CAD program underwent numerous revisions and an intermediate transfer to a 1/4" plywood panel to iron out all the fitment issues. I then traced it onto the sheet metal and cut it out. I spot welded angle pieces in those places where it wasn't possible to use the finger brake. Still a ways to go, but it's starting to take shape.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
This all looks super nice Vic! Wish I could keep a closer eye but life has me away from the scene. Only for a while though!

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
Thanks, guys! Here's a progress shot of the console. I still need to figure out the best way to mount it and the sub box to the floor, but at least the basic shape is set.
Took a day off today and drove 2.5 hours south of here with Kathy to MoKan Dragway for some baseline runs on our 392 Charger. It was mostly disappointing. First two runs were time trials. Massive wheel hop with the street tires in sport mode and traction control off. Ran back to back 14 flat @ 107. MPH indicates a lot of room for improvement. Figured I'd only get one more run in eliminations, so I left the TC on this time. Left better but still had a lot of hop. Ran a 13.49 on a 13.95 dial so we loaded up and came home to do some research on the traction issues. These cars typically run mid 12's so I need to sort out the problems before we go again. Probably won't be until next spring anyway. Gotta lotta truck left to build.

I always enjoy the "Old School" feel at MoKan. Jet cars there were Awesome!

Looks like winter is shaping up to be good on this thread! We need to get Vic GoPro! Sounds like a fun weekend to me. 12's would be cool, way cool!

I'm still deep in the console project, although I'm just about out of stuff to do on it. I did a CAD drawing of the top plate that goes around the shifter and e-level control. Emailed the .dxf to a local shop in Independence for a RFQ but haven't heard back as yet. The part is tapered, has rounded corners and a 1/8" radius around all the top edges. Needs to be done on a CNC and my guys in Houston have been busy lately. So hopefully this will work out.

If they don't work out, let me know. I work with a machine shop infested with hot rodders and drag racers. Progress looks good!

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
This probably doesn't look much like progress, but trust me, it's a big step forward. The underside of the cab is officially finished. Taped everything off and shot the 3M Body Schutz into all the cracks and crevices. Before doing that, I filled any potentially leaky seams with 3M Strip Caulk. Hopefully, that will ward off any rust well into the future. The cab is now ready to go back on the chassis for the last time.
I also continued with the Rattle Trap on the topside of the floor but had to stop and order some more off eBay. Still have a long way to go to get the firewall covered as well as the panels I built for mounting stuff. The only noise I want inside the cab is the stereo... and open exhaust when I flip the switch.
