Spent an afternoon workin on my car. Was gettin tired of the speakers in the sail panels rattlin so i cut up a pizza box and duck taped it down and also did some sound proofing inside with the duck tape

 

why

 

its temporary, gonna b gettin dyna mat and welding a plate in

 

we get that...but why take the time to post pictures and add to the stereotype?

 

 

Yeah, I kind of have to agree with them, I had a couple odds and ends from lowes' plumbing department to replace my LIM pipe fitting when I was in a pinch, I've since replaced it with a nice one piece chrome fitting from summit, but I certainly didn't make a thread and post pictures of my ghetto plumbing fixture setup I had till then...ghetto rigs are things to be ashamed of, not proud of, lol. Now if you post pics of the dynamat and this plate thing, you will probably get some compliments. But unless it was a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY ingenious ghetto rig, you shouldn't show it off imo, lol.

 

i agree, we find ALL manner of ******* foobars in customers cars.one of my faves is the trans mount made from wood and heater hoses

 

well im new to custom added stuff and customizing and im tryin to see if im starting out good. I have never really attempted to custom anything on my car, so im gonna try to start but ive only had the car for a few months, since i turned 16 in january

 

Just try to remember there is a difference between ghetto rigs, and fabrications, lol. My LIM pipe fitting made out of bits and pieces from lowes, not even all the same metal type=ghetto rig.
Removing the substructure of my fiberglass hood, patching the crack on the corner, pinning it on at all four corners, removing the shocks, hinges, pull cable, latch, and latch bar, or cutting a hole(clean straight cuts) for an access panel to the fuel pump=fabrication. Well maybe not fabrication so to speak, but definitely modifications.

 

good point. i hopefully will b able to get some more good modifications in this year on it. but im tryin to start somewhere in custom modification and ill slowly get there

 

Red Green would be proud!

 

lmao, I used to watch that show. Was a great show.

 

I used some wood, a hose clamp and a ratchet strap once to get home...

 

While we are on the topic, what is the purpose of the vented holes in the door jams?

 

Basically I think they operate as both a relief path for the HVAC when the windows are up, as well as allow fresh air to circulate when driving. Air enters via the cowl, and exits there.

 

I believe just that, probably to vent moisture so it can't collect in there or something.

 

so are they really necessary? or will it mess anything up? I havent really found an anwser on here

 

those vents are there so your eardrums wont blow apart when you close the door with the windows up..
Well you get the idea.

 

well my window motors went out and their stuck down for now so i dont have to worry about it

 

Just when you think Little Caesar pizza cant get any better, it acts as ******* Dynomat

 

wow lol

 

haha exactly but it got wet last night so may have to replace it now

 

Do like i did, 1/4" MDF, take out that fiberglass cone if its still there. And build a custom box. If you take the metal trim out that mounts to the car, and the speaker mounts to it, you can make a nice size custom enclosure for the speaker , it will get rid of the rattle, and give the speaker great sound(if you build it to the right air vol).

 

lol that is hilarious! great job

 

Pizza box and duct tape ≠ fabrication.
Heck, unless it's an emergency and you won't get home without it, duct tape shouldn't be used at all in any vehicle.

 

thanks 4 the tip will try that

 

Looks great amazing fab work...

 

 

 

TTT

 

LMFAO, what next???

 

seriously just let the thread die..this **** is the cancer that is killing tgo
