    1951 Chevrolet pick up I installed two amplifiers and built a custom subwoofer box all underneath the seat I added two custom kick panels to House Alpine are series 6 1/2 inch speakers in the kick panels we also added power windows and utilized the factory cranks for switches as well as added power door locks and a full viper alarm system. And I sound deadend the entire truck with two layers of sound deadening the first one was traditional aluminum backed buretal and the second layer was a closed cell foam with aluminum and butyl

    geezzz!! those look amazing!! How long have you been using the fiberglass? It looks like you are a perfectionist.

    Do you cut and shave foam or something to get the shapes? I need to look into doing this for myself.
