Fuck no, I have been focusing on the trunk. I still need to LLP the rear deck and then I can re-install the upholstery. Let me tell you guy's as soon as I LLP'ed the rear wheel well's The noise floor got cut in half, And anything else I can hear is through the door's now.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Wait for it.....

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Here is the before pic....

And now the D3400 in its new home, and the big 3 redone with better wire, and a double run to the back, now all I need is an HO alt........

I still need to install some wire loom, I already have, just ran out of time yesterday.....

More picture's on the way.......

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

Da trunk battery, take a lOOk see.

the before pic,

And now the D1200 in it home.....

This is without the floor panel installed, more pics on the way.

Here is the left beauty panel in the trunk, aka the control panel. ALL trunk panels are form fit with NO screws holding them in.

And the right side, not mch goin on over here.

I did Log work for about 5 years if you where wondering about the scribing skills.

Here is the floor with all the panels installed. I am VERY happy with the outcome.

Oh yeah, here are the before pics, I never finished the last beauty panel because it was temporary.

More pics on the way.....

Looks good brother.....can you get the spare out without any trouble? It looks tight, but I'm sure you can. I'm digging the form fit of the panels.....wanna share how you copied all the curves? All in all, I'm digging it dude. Keep up the great work!

To get the spare out, I must set the battery up out of the way. THIS EXPLAIN's why the battery leads are looped instead of straight, SO I dont have to unhook everything. I know the battery install would be cleaner with straight runs but unless I enter in an SQ comp they will stay this way. I travel alot and live in the mountains so a spare was a must, PLUS i needed my Feiro sized trunk for my luggage.

I know most ppl will tell you to use cardboard for a template but I use a piece of MDF. Infact if I wasn't SOOO ANAL I could of used my template as there was little to NO difference. I built LOG CABIN'S for 5 year's, so I will tell you the trick. If the panel is sliding left for example, first determine HOW far the piece needs to travel left to reach its final resting place, we will use 1" for this example. Now when marking The 1" most ppl don't take in to account to ONLY measure 1" STRAIGHT OUT TO THE RIGHT on a level plain. So any defining point in your scribe will stay on A LEVEL LINE. I usally make square line's off the left edge at all defining points and just measure and mark a 1" on a level plain in a few spots and then connect the dot's. They make a scribe tool with Leveling bubble's for working on round log so you can keep the marks out on a level plain but problaby overkill for our app's.

The trunk is NOT all the way done yet, Is why no overall pic's yet. Probably later today.

A few more pics from the day.

Here is the new floor. Also the control panel out for adjutments.

I draped carpet inside the hindge holes to hide everything nicely.

The exposed wire clamp's getting painted with flat black.

I should have more pictures tomarrow.

[sq_mgb 21]

Me likey, keep up the great work!!!

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Looks damn good.

Excellent work scribing your panels to fit.

[porkchop 304]

good looking work bro....

[mccleery3 166]

That sir, is some damn fine work!

[shakes 2]

Wow, that is turning out great. Can't wait to see it all done.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

I got the sub installed today!!!!!

AND I did take picture's.

The LLP under the back set and rear wheel well's....

The front of the right rear wheel well covered in LLP, Wow, These piece's made the MOST difference yet in road noise. Definetly stopping the noise at the source, Short of buying quieter tire's. Like the Goodyear Eagles maybe.

The left side.....

The foam takes days to dry, I had to do a little every day for like a week solid to fill two speaker hole chambers. I put about 1 1/2 sheets of damlifier on rear deck but NO LLP. There was NO way.

The carpet done!!!!!(finally)

More pics on the way.
