Tommy, I originally wanted to do it but I don't think we are doing anything with the patterns at this time. I left this project design completely in the hands of Mike.

[speedaddict]

long story on the car. The guy still wants it though. Waiting for it to get out of the stereo shop

[speedaddict]

couple updates today. After lots of detail planning with the stereo installer, he got started on the framework. This will be an old school stereo build. I grew up reading Car Audio Magazine and watching awesome builds by Richard Clark and installers like him. I can appreciate the painted fiberglass setups but its not practical for me when I daily the Lexus. My setup will be fiberglass, but it will look more stealth....until the panels are removed. On to the pics. This is pre fiberglass:





You will notice some hinges on the amp rack. This is such a cool part of the build. The air ride is hidden (won't be showing that), but the hinges shoot straight out then fold down so I can access the tank and valves when needed. The bottom two holes will display neatly ran RCAs and wires. There is plenty of room in the trunk still and even hidden compartment in the spare tire well. Groceries and stroller? Not a problem. There's going to be a lot of plexi, green tint, a lot of led work and even hydro-dipped parts to tie the rest of the car with the trunk. No vinyl, just grey factory matching carpet.

[BAHC]

excellent artistic vision, and excellent wood work. how long until completion?

[jbo]

Im digging the exposed amps I like where your going with this...as usual

[OG]

looks very well thought out. i am confident it will show in the final product. how about a product list?

[speedaddict]

Nothing big on the stereo. I've had the amps for years.

JL300.4v1
JL500.1v1
10w6
Kinetic battery

Interior speakers will be phase 2. I'm running all Boston Pro Series components right now but will change them to a true high/mid/midbass setup with good sound staging. Still planning it in my head. Phase 1 will be done in a couple weeks but then we have the hydro dip parts to get to you OG. Hoping to get Phase 2 done by Wekfest.
