I agree, jl is the elite. I saw nineball signed on a day or two ago, but he hasnt been posting, prolly just busy with a new project i guess (maybe trying to figure out what amp he has j/k).

 

Man, we've been asking that for weeks!

 

Nice 04! LOL
we have been asking for a while!

 

Maybe he came on and read what we had to say and got offended and left!

 

Speaking of coming on and leaving I saw racer typed in and left WTF???? He never got back to me when I messaged and sent him an email???

 

Yeah, I sent him a PM and an E-mail, and still no answer either! I wonder if he's mad or offended too!

 

Couldn't tell ya but I've never been mean or said anything to him ever! I've always kind of put him up on a pedestal...Must be busy or doesn't want to waste time with us anymore because he is sick of reading and responding to our bs-ing...than again he was always with us bs-ing along with Jim! Maybe racer, jim, and nineball are having a meet of their own!

 

update

dropped off the completed boxes at the leather guy over 2 weeks ago and never heard back from him. stopped in the shop yesterday to find he had not done a thing with it - not even ordered the leather. what a tool. on top of that, he told me that the total cost was going to be about $300 to have both covered. needless to say i took the boxes back, gave him a few choice words and left.

next step was to find a new upholsterer to cover them for me. 4 shops later i finally found someone who would do it. quoted price? $70 for both if i supply the material.i really wanted to go with a dark green to match the exterior, but like everything else on this project it was not available. $25 later at joann fabrics and i have some flanel-backed vinyl that is an almost exact match for the interior leather on the X. dropping off the vinyl tomorrow and if things go well should have it some time next week finally completed.

also found a shop that will fabricate the cutom mounts i want for the amp rack as well, i think. going there tomorrow to see what they can do.

 

nice nineball, so what kind of amp will be goin in to the amp rack? Jus asking cos theres a lot of people curious about it. Im sure the vinal will look just as good as the leather would have looked.

 

Did I miss sumthin?........lol

Lol

It's funny, because still no answer about the amp, but at least we know why he hasn't been coming on!

 

yeah no doubt! Jim thats what we were concluding, is that you guys were meeting up with! It was a joke but it kept all of us entertained until you guys got back.....BARELY! Man I will personally say we missed you all!

 

Aquiller has his moments, as do I...but we honestly felt a void in our hearts, and as nineball started to fill that void with his inspirational work of art and dedication to his masterpiece...he refused to tell us what amp he used and then he left for two weeks and didn't let us know anything.[] We were bummed out, but atleast aquill got internet. If not it would've been twice as boring.

 

Yeah I'd imagine...I had plenty to do when I didn't have the internet and only got to post once a week I had to catch up with you all! I get the internet and nobody posts! That has recently changed though and I am now busier than ever!!!

 

finally, some progress.

got the boxes covered in a vinyl that almost perfectly matches the leather interior color AND had the metal amp bracket fab'd this week. starting the install later tonight, so hopefully by tomorrow it will be complete. here are some teaser pics.

amp mounting brackets







covered boxes. it's amazing what a camera picks up. in these shots, it looks like there are some wrinkles in it. aside from the part inside the ring, which will be covered by the speaker itself, to the naked eye there are no ripples. weird. and i even used my crappy cell phone for the pic.





more photos as soon as i am done.....

 

Boxes look sweet nineball. Do X's with white leather interior havematching trunk matting? From what i've seen they all have dark grey matting back there...or is the contrast what you're going for? either way, they look alot better then a BestBuy box!

 

Like the boxes but I'm still waiting to see what amp your hooking to em...guess I'll find out soon enough!

 

I doubt we'll ever find out! LOL, I really expected him to say it today when he posted the brackets for it!
