I managed a couple hours today while the kids were playing with all their new toys!!

I put some cheap hush matt like material to the area I painted and installed the tank and hooked up the fill line and vent. I need to run some new fuel line to the fuel pump and it will be ready to add fuel.



I also put the hush matt type material under the complete seat and started build a sub box. Every hot rod needs a good stereo right?? Not sure how good it is going to be.......time will tell. Probably go the Walmart route. Midrange deck, a couple 6 x 9's behind the seat. Qty 2 5" speakers in the dash and the sub under the seat.



A little more trimming to get it to sit better on the floor. Then sand, paint and fasten in place!!

Loud? You call that loud white boy?

Here in SoCal that's almost subdued.....well, if you're Mexican - like I am.

But joking aside, yeah its probably not for everyone but I thought it looked much better than the standard bunched-up mess that many Mexi blanket interiors look like. You could play off any of the colors by using a difflerent color vinyl or just use a much more subdued blanket.

No offense meant.....but that is a bit loud by my conservative NoDak standards.........LOL.
