    Also going to have some custom embroidery on the door panels and headrests. I also found an engine and trans I am going to pick up. I think I can sell the trans for what I have in the whole combo and then I will be able to get this thing on the road. Lift should be in HOPEFULLY soon. Then to order a set of tires and wheels for it.:peace:

    Thanks all. It's starting to come along. I am going to work on the sub enclosure tomorrow some more. Try to get it at least in a wood frame, then I can start glassing it in. I need to also figure out where I am going to put the amp... I think I am going to try to work it in behind the access panel for the jack.
