The rear Rigids were easy, 3/16" flat stock cut, bent and drill to fit nice and tight with good display of light.

Got old Clark warmed up from winter to help me with shock numbers. Radflo is 16 weeks out, but I got a cheap set of used OME shocks to be able to run around and do a shakedown once its complete...NEVER EVER in my life have I had a build come in within 6 weeks of original projected completion date.,

slight mod to Lukes rear bumper kit: transfer hole for carrier spindle through the bottom of bumper, cut it out 1/8 smaller and crank up your welder and let that wire flow.

my second fav part of every build. I'm a HUGE audiophile......Alpine has always been my go to.....as for speakers, these things should fit the bill, at a depth of 5/8" , there should be zero chance of contact, but massive on sound. I went with Morel 6.5 woofers and component tweeters set up fronts and rears, and an Alpine 10" sub.....more than enough power and quality for this 53 year old Deadhead.

I have ran Focals for hard hitting years, figured I'd give these Morels a shot. As for placement, the mids are going in all four doors, tweeters will be in the "C" pillar, above second row upper seat belt mount. This is the thin strip of cloth material wrapped cardboard. Removed right rear interior panel, cut and bent a sheet of 16 gauge to house amps and audio components

Mounted the Planted seat Brackets.......Scheel Mann seats, heated with arm rest, , ABSOLUTELY well worth the coin. When they state "fully adjustable", man, they aren't kidding. Ultra comfy and very well built..

Radflo Shocks came in today...7/8" shaft, 2.5" body and definitely stout. I hope they perform as good as planned.

After exhausting search on the interweb....I found this 3d printed piece for you tweeters in the door sail. It was from solvefunction.com Ordered on a Monday, printed on a Tuesday, shipped on a Wednesday, arrived on Friday and installed on a Saturday. Pretty neat little addition for those looking to locate yer highs in a perfect little spot. Not to in your face, but nicely tucked away. I have seen others fab one up, but looked a bit too bulbous for my taste. These are very very nicely made and stout, and very fair priced. I DO NOT know this outfit, merely an end user. Morel tweeter NOT included with tweeter pods
