Finished up my kickpanels.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 02:16 AM

..for now. I am not very happy with the way the left one is fitting so I am going to rip them all apart again and modify them when I get a chance to. But for now, they sound awesome, they really fill up the entire cab with music instead of just under the dash.

BraveDave · 02-17-2005, 02:30 AM

Where did you get those? Did you make them yourself?

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 02:31 AM

Yep I made them out of fiberglass and finally found some vinyl that matches the seats.

67chev · 02-17-2005, 02:48 AM

Are you considering making and selling those?? I would be very interested in a set!!! Not covered or anything. I am re-assembling my truck now and that is what I have been wanting to put in it...I am just not too familiar with the whole fiberglass concept yet. Well...lemme know!! Thanks!

69 Short Fleet · 02-17-2005, 03:59 AM

Looks good, what kind of components are they (speakers).

mrwilmoth · 02-17-2005, 05:04 AM

i'd take a set too!

Brainchild · 02-17-2005, 07:25 AM

Those look great.

phanatic32212 · 02-17-2005, 07:30 AM

Put me in line for a set of those too. Are those 6.5's in there?

70c10 · 02-17-2005, 08:25 AM

greasemonkey you did an awesome job on those!

. Are you still going to be able to use the vents?

Jimbotronics · 02-17-2005, 08:33 AM

Those are bad ass! Awesome Job!

BraveDave · 02-17-2005, 08:37 AM

by the looks of things, you don't have any choice but to build and sell those things. put me down for two.

bagged91 · 02-17-2005, 08:56 AM

They look sweet! Is that a Grant 969 Steering wheel? If so, do you have any better shots of it installed? I've been thinking of using that wheel but I can't decide. Looks like it sticks out pretty far...

bouncytruck · 02-17-2005, 12:47 PM

Those look great!

Joe67 · 02-17-2005, 01:19 PM

Very nice work

I love that dash setup!!

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 01:40 PM

Wow, thanks for all the compliments guys.
The speakers are Orion 6.5" components, it is just the tweet and midbass right now but I will add subs later with an amp.
I really wouldn't mind building these things and selling them, but time is killing me now. Between school and work, I only took about a month to build these ones, lol. Maybe in the summer if anybody wants them I will be able to make a couple pairs, but for now I'm afraid I won't have enough time, sorry.
The wheel is a Grant, not completely sure of the part number but 969 sounds right. I bought it from Summit a couple years back for $50, plus the install kit. And for the record, my install kit works great, no horn problems here. I'll try to get a good pic of it, I don't have any right now.
Thanks again guys!

BobbyK · 02-17-2005, 06:33 PM

Pretty sweet looking.
Were you able to retain the use of your e-brake pedal with the drivers speaker in place?

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 08:05 PM

Not how it is right now. That's my problem is that the driver's side is not fitting like it was before it was covered, so I have to figure out what it is catching on and fix it. After I fix it, the brake might clear, it is pretty close now but not close enough to get past the mid. If not, I will probably get a Lokar pull style and mount it next to the seat or on the tranny hump.

muddpile · 02-17-2005, 08:35 PM

Wow those look great! They blend in really well. What did you use for gauges? Did you have to buy them all individually, or is there a kit available?

Purs · 02-17-2005, 08:45 PM

very nice. Those look like Sport-Comp gauges on the bottom, but what about the tach and speedo? and what are those seats out of? keep up the good work.

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 08:49 PM

The guages are all Autometer Pro-Comps, I bought them individually from a local performance shop. The seats are Outland leather buckets, they are modeled after the C-5 Vette seats.

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 08:52 PM

Forgot the guage pic.

lamar · 02-17-2005, 08:54 PM

Hey any pics of them without covering on? They look great!!!!!!

greasemonkey · 02-17-2005, 09:00 PM

Here ya go....
