We wrote an article exposing a kit-car company called Streetbeasts.

Now, they've tried to silence us with a frivolous lawsuit.

Guess what happens when unethical companies try to bully hotrodders out of their free speech?
Get the details, and see how you can lend a hand.

blah.......again

I bought me a sheet of ABS plastic to play around with. Im gonna use this to cover part of the door panels on the vette. Im sure itll work great since its a flat area.
I also plan to try and see how this stuff bends under heat, as I am considering useing it to make new door panels for the truck. We'll see how this stuff works out.

I also found an old picture of my truck from when I was in High school before I started tearing into it. It looks completly different.
PLEASE ignore the walmart hubcaps.....I was young and stupid.....just be glad I didn't put a wing on it.

finishing the box

to clean up the back panels, I cut out a peice of 1/4" plywood that will be covered like the rest of the box, to hide the ugly parts of the box.
I covered the panels in foam to also give them the plush feel

Bad thing about covering, somewhere the vinyl is gonna end.

some more progress

I went ahead and ran the wires for the amp as seen in the first picture
I also covered the fiberglass box with foam to give it a plush look when its covered
Then I started covering the box in the same faux leather I did the headliner in the truck with.
