I am contemplating filling the speaker louvers in the center, better to do that now I guess. I'm also thinking of blocking off those side vents, probably use the space for kick panel speakers.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks, Ben. You're right, with the windshield out, now's the time for mods like smoothing the speaker grille. I bought a set of the molded in kick panel speakers for the silver truck. The sound quality was not anything to write home about. I wished later that I'd invested in some nice surface mounted ones. By blocking off the vents, you end up with a lot more usable space to mount larger speakers and not have them in the way of your feet.
