Big thank you to AceX - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Matt (AceX) took the time to drive 1.5 hours from home and spent all day installing a stereo system in my son's 64 ElCamino. This forum is the best!
Thank you again AceX.

AceX · 08-17-2010, 02:07 AM

It was nothing sir. I was happy to help and I'm glad you like it.

Let me know when you need help working on the truck or if something on the stereo doesn't work out. We did a solid install, but things happen, and when/if they do let me know and I'll drive down and get on it.

A big thanks to you and your family playing host to me for the day and big thanks fo lunch and making your son go get my complicated sandwich (sorry, I'm a picky eater...)

I will gladly do it again and would drive twice as far if it helps you out.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I <3 this forum too...

1.5 hours in Cali is 45 miles. 1.5 hours in Texas is 100 miles...
Nice job!

hahaha, good times up there i want to go back up and visit for sure. Hahaha remember that guy trying to explain a four link to us hahaha..

AceX · 08-18-2010, 03:08 AM

Hahaha, then he was trying to explain engine building and I knew more than him lol

Those were some good nights

AceX · 08-18-2010, 08:39 PM

If anyone else here in NorCal needs a hand for a day let me know. I don't just do systems, that just seems to be my specialty.

Hey Dan, were you able to build those end pieces for the sub box yet? You don't HAVE to cover them in carpet either. A few good coats of black paint will probably do it.

EDIT: I also found the iPod adapter for the radio: http://www.woofersetc.com/p4851/CDIB...ce-Adapter.htm

Not the cheapest option, but it is the best. It iwll allow you to control your iPod through the radio just like I do in the '85. I'm gonna pick one up for my dad's '67 El camino.
