LOL I have some stuff in closets here at home, but my shop is behind a duplex I rent out and had the shop rented for years, but after I retired I decided to quit renting it and just use it for these old trucks. Bad thing I think I need to add on.

That reminds me. I still need to get clips and bolts for my tunnel cover.
I gave part of the u-nuts to HIO Silver, but if you want them I'd be glad to send you the rest of them.

Since I recently paid off my house, I was thinking of buying a commercial condo in an industrial park for the ultimate Man Cave. The other alternative is to buy another house... but it's really nice not having a mortgage payment anymore.... Oh yeah, I ran into a cactus pusher in one of my other bedrooms.... I forgot it was in there.

Nah.. the money came from my "management fee" overseeing my family's rental properties... five percent a month. I cash out twice a year.

People not wanting to deal with rental is what keeps competition down. LOL

Just finished cutting new backing boards for my door panels and headliner. As quick as the new clips come for the door panels, I will be taking them and the seats to the upholstery shop. They will be covered about like they are they are now, but black with the pleats turned horizontal and light gray contrasting stitches.





While I'm waiting to do that I got some more toys in today, so guess what I will be doing tomorrow.

Looking forward to it Randle. Are you planning to mount the center console right to the floor or raised slightly to be able to be used as an arm rest?

I might raise it some, but probably not much. I'm planning on putting a subwoofer above the console between the seats facing forward, I'll have to play with it some to see were it looks the best at.

You'll want a subwoofer down low. They make them thin these days. You can even have it under your seat if you want.

The amp is going under the drivers seat, I guess that can be my seat warmer. I've got pair of Rockford Fosgate subs I bought for my son, I figured I'd put one of them in. He traded his truck off before we could put them in. All I want to do is guest enhance the bass a little. If it's works as good as the one that came in my Mustang it will just barely be cracked on.
