i might try to start it as soon as christmas, but it's hard with the car not at home, i'm already gathering parts.

I have the equalizer and new speaker wire to go all around.

I'm trying to find new speakers to go up front, to run off about 50-75 watts rms 4 ohm.

I have a stock headunit lined up along with the volt and temp gauges, most of what I have left is fabricating boxes and such. They'll probably be half boxes, trying to keep everything as light as possible, but I'll hopefully be doing an enclosure kit from Jarhead to clean it all up.

I'm also going to finally do that amp rack that I was talking about earlier, I have to figure out how I'm going to make that as shallow as possible to not push the sub back too far.

they're not going to be full boxes because I'm going to try and keep the weight down, but with the enclosure kit you won't be able to tell whatsoever.

RCA's are here along with 100' of 12GA for the new speakers and future sub installs!

looking into possibly camming and doing heads on the monte, but we'll see where that goes, not sure if i'm wanting to drop 2 grand into her.

just an update...

I'm not planning on doing the build in the trunk anymore, I will make an amp rack, but that's it.

Also, I'm just going to finish off with the engine mods that I currently have, I think that will be enough modding to the engine to hold me off for a while.

But, here is some of the new stuff that I have planned:

New Fuel Door (thanks Frank!) - my current door is rusting through, so this one will be fixed of any rust and sealed and then plasti-dipped on the back.




Front plate filler, the original one needed some work, and this one is in a little better condition. If anyone else is interested I have another like new plate filler, just pm me!



K&N Precharger (Thanks again Frank!) and a roll of tint, I will be tinting my gauge cluster and my fog lights to change up the look of the interior and front end



Black airbag cover for the passenger side, this is just the start of my black interior conversion, this one will be going slowly but surely.



Lasly, a mirror from a Grand Prix, i'm going to be working on getting the temp sender to work for this mirror, the compass is internal, so that should work by default, also I'll need to figure out how to get some leds or something on or in this so I have some front dome lights.



That's just a little of what I have, there's a couple of other things coming in the mail and I will update as they come
