winter time blues

yea its cold and iam falling behind on the custom jobs.
my brains fried because i haven't had a day off since christmas and won't until may 4th (may 3rd's the first car show of the year for us).

so i just thought i would start a thread for people to let off some steam.

i can't seem to motivate myself anymore its all just a blur. iam doing a 06 gto 6L supercharged. he is a car show nut. iam installing a 5.1 system with alpine w505 and h701, 2 alpine headrest, focal amps and access speakers, 4-10's, 4-6"coaxial sets, 1-6" comp set, and enough red neons and white strobes to make any 90's teenager cream. we are over 60 hours with just the wiring and sound deadner. i hate undercar neons(did i say two full gold series and 10 side markers)

oh-yea and i have a 98 c-5 vette that has been here for a month that i haven't touch yet and it gets even more stuff.

hope everyones winter is going as good as mine.

It's good that you have that much work to do Crush! Around here it just flat out sucks.

I feel you on the winter time blues. I sold my tahoe and got a new xB that I need to build but with it being cold and snowy I just dont want to do a damn thing. John how are things for ya?

Damn man I understand. Its the same here in Wisconsin. Ive been in and out the house trying to sound deaden the car and it 15 below windchill. At least I have a garage but its still cold as heck in there. I just came in and my feet are freezing. I feel your pain chief!

my new shop is done...insulated...very nice change. I worked today on changing headers and turbo out on the GN.
The vette's next.

Nice let me know if ya need any help!

well it is good to see that other people have it bad too.

Im still sound deadening the car I have up to 4layers of dynamat behind the kickpanel area and Ive doubled up on the floor. Next is to bolt those kicks down and deaden the trunk and doors...ALL IN SUB ZERO WEATHER Gotta love WI!

I am waiting until late march to work on my car. I plan on finishing it up with a few extra additives. Looking forward to this season, even though I have yet to attend even one show. The weather has been way too up and down to get started.

I hear ya on the weather, having no place to work except out side in the parking lot. It is too cold to do any thing but dream.

Were going to get another 8 to 10 inches of snow here in WI. The elements wont stop me though. I deadened the interior of the car and Im about to start on the trunk...in the snow and freezing cold if I have to. Sounds stupid...but I love it!

seems like i take 2 steps forward and 6 back.
doors pretty much done.
now they want a custom installed radar, rx-75plus
fiberglass makes me sick! no really sick
cold - rain - sleet - snow - fog - everything is damp

hey there...john its me chef kyle i met you at the usaci show in texarkana texas at the car toyz. i wanted to say hello and see how you were doing. i hear a strong rumor that usaci is going to have some shows in the dallas/ftworth that is going to be so cool. well i hope your doing good. i have been working on my car and hope to make some good points in sound q this yr. take care john.

chef kyle

I finisished a lot of mine in the garage. I got four layers of dynamat on the floor of the car, kicks are solid fiberglass with dynamat lineing the inside and back of the kicks and then bolted to the floor and dynamatted the trunk lid with two layers. working on some other small things and hoping the weather gets warmer her in WI.

It's been in the 70s for three days here.

lucky you
it rained today
but there is more sun light now so my energy levels are coming back up

it is still raining........
started the fiberglass work over the weekend

i'am running out of time

Get to work man!

I got sunburn at Shreveport this weekend. Already starting to peel.

But beats the heck out of rain and snow.

finally stopped raining today was pretty nice

tinted the gto

starting on overhead console

guy with corvette is kind of mad that i have had his car for 3 months and haven't started yet.

any recommendations on a C5 vette for speaker placement. haven't done one for sq yet. i figure it is gonna suck. you sit right behind one speaker and the other is twice the distance from you.

i have come to the realization that neither of the cars are going to be done by may 3 ( my deadline ).

rain, rain, rain, rain

resins won't dry

oh yea on of my new installers just gave his notice

still looking for that awsome installer!!

How about some pics of the progress?

hey matt...i know you prolly dont remember me and thats cool. i just wanted to say hello and see how you have been doing? been talking to mel alot since he is bringing usaci back the dallas/fort worth. im glad that this is taking place. take care matt...

I remember the name but can't seem to put a face to it. Where do I know you from?

i met you at world finals in 2004 in kc mo. like i said its ok if you cant remember. i got competitor of the year at that finals and 5th in my class in advanced consumer sound-q
