Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Wired int the cab corners with new monster speaker wire...Ran a true memory wire direct to the battery, ran all new wires to all audio...Including soon to be mounted kick panel speakers... Also installed my new slim mount Pioneer sub and box so I will be able to move the bench back

Did my first welding ever on inner fenders I got from pull a part with a 90 AMP flux core mig welder...Yeah it looks nasty but its a first...Also cleaned and coated one of the fender with undercoating...

Mounted the CD player with the metal metra bracket directly to the metal dash. Cut the dash bezel to fit over it when reinstalled and just pop the stereo ring on..

Also replaced the inline fuel filter which fixed issue with the carb

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Well Friday Installed the new bench and drove over to my moms Saturday but when my friend arrived he laughed and asked if it ran. So I started it up only to notice it bogging down. Open the hood only to notice the inline fuel filter leaking gas. Come to find out the new filter was plastic so luckily i replaced it with the old glass part....

Saturday I got my brothers helped and removed the doors, replaced the pins, bushing, and one of the hinges. Installed the missing driverside rear channel, welded the bolt location that was partially cracked, installed a new steering wheel, and all new window weather stripping

Also installed White Face Gauge overlays and vled 360 blue leds the week before

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Great work man! I love these build threads, btw where did you get that seat cover?!?!?!?! That would look so killer in my truck!

Also I did my 5.25's in my doors. I love the way they sound and they carry through the cab very well. Im thinking of switching to a shallow mount sub or one L7 8" sub since they do have a mounting depth of only 4.2" or so.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Ordered it from http://www.ricksupholstery.com/sales_i.html...It was only $210 shipped to Nashville...May be a lil more to LA but i was thrilled...They also installed 80s style seat belt holes....Just modify the foam for them if u want them.....

Ive got some kick panels to install still with infinity 5 1/4 components ...I cant wait to install them and the rest of the interior

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

How does the sub sound? Been looking at stuff for the C50.

Great job on the seat and guages!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Sub sounds good...Its not incredible but its well worth it and has a real nice sound with only 4" of depth on the box...So it fit perfectly behind the seat.

Thanks!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

It looks to me like that spot of red you're seeing is just the reflection of red paint on the gloss black.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Your right..It was just a reflection..I put most of the trim back in last night other then the dashpad and door panels....The headliner actually doesnt look awful once installed. So far so good....
