the hack job continues.
so today was the start of the power cable
was having a hard time deciding were to go through the firewall so just decided to go up the floor
but being the mechanic i am i dont have a bit bigger the half inch so got to file it out soon to fit the grommet in
I wont be driving till i clean up the cable underneath so please point out anything u notice that could be a hazard i think i avoided all moving parts but let me know what u guys think

you do have a grommet around the wire in the hole you drilled correct? and also, did you hit the underside of the truck where you drilled through so as not to rust?
other than that, i don't really see any problems so far. someone else might think so but i see good work so far

The speakers are facing the drivers seat so i still have room in the back to place stuff.
And my next project is now making a bumper!!
just got some parts for it from my neighbor and now is the design time.
I want to make one similar to the TAG bumpers.
