I meant to update this the other day when I did all of this, but I forgot to. I've been a little under the weather the past few days, so I haven't been altogether myself.

I've been picking up a roll here and a roll there of this stuff for sound deadening at Lowes.

Snagged some of this at the local parts house the other day. Going to use it for now, then eventually the plan is for a no window slider door, and have the rear pop-outs professionally tinted super dark.

Got the head unit all wired up. Found that my "missing" 12V constant was due to a blown horn fuse. it's still just temp mounted for the moment. I need to make an overhead console to house the component speakers in.

Trying to source some blue carpet to floor this beast with. Not having any luck with that so far. Also looking for a good deal on some Cragars or Slots. No luck there either.

Still haven't found time to really get into this thing and accomplish much yet. I drove it about 200 miles yesterday on a trip to the Veteran's Hospital in Salem, VA. Trans seemed a little funky a couple of times, late shifts, so I'll check that out soon. Stopped at a Goodwill store along the way and picked up some stuff for it while I was out and about.

Picked up these old SounDesign home speaker cabinets for $2. Changed my mind on the overhead console, so I will be mounting the component speakers in these and placing them behind the driver and passenger seat.

I picked up some Philips home speaker boxes for $3 to use as temp tunes until I get the old ones converted with my component speakers. The Philips ones actually sound amazing for home speaker boxes. I was really surprised.

I also bought these old Cal Custom window cranks and door handles off eBay, but they don't clip on like the factory handles do. Instead, they use set screws. I can see the set screws messing up the teeth of the actuators, so I'm going to hold off using these until I find a better way to mount them. Anyone else running this style handle on a GM vehicle and have any input?

Great score man! I did the same thing with the home speakers in my rides before. Can you grind the set screw tips into a point so they fit between the teeth on the gears?

I had a set of those in my '84 and ended up drilling & tapping 3 set screws into each handle, and made them larger than the set screw they came with...

Also, the teeth on the handles didn't fit the factory mechanisms, so I had to drill those out, necessitating the extra set screws...


when things go bad, you just gotta keep on keepin' on...

Nope, GM on the package. And one set was unopened N.O.S.

That is clean! Looks good! Wouldn't be too hard to swap in a v8 in the future if you wanted.
