thats sounds SOLID!

 

My doors close with a nice soft thump. Sounds very good. But those clips sound off because it sounds like its plastic closing against plastic -- it could be the camera's fault, or because the interior is still empty.

 

[QUOTE=Metal Maxima]I think Spencer summed it up best: "You're the freaking one-man version of West Coast Customs...on the East Coast!"

wassup Dan... i'm ordering the sound deadening stuff but i'm already installing the sound system today(i don't feel like going to work & i'm curious how loud n clear my components are), so probably when the stuff is in, i'll make that appointment wit' ya.

 

Good deal! Can't wait to hear everything. Check your PM box when you get the chance.

 

you know i made up this sweet avatar but then realized i can't use it...so metal, i present it to you:



hope you like it
it will forever be the door *thud*

 

metal read what i posted on page eight..lemem know what you think...peace out for tonight bro.

 

You definately deserve Maxima of the Month for this.

 

Wow! That looks awesome! I was thinking of doing something like that in Black suede and grey...can't wait to see the finished product.

 

I can't believe how good this is turning out. Awesome workmanship.
Can't wait to see it with the seats finished!

 

when u are all done u needed make a video of ur car, its so awsome great job

 

without question one of the best jobs i have ever seen....looks great bro love the color scheme. any1 who says other than this is amazing, is just a hater....also not sure if u found out where to mount the switch yet but maybe inside the (armrest)console? or maybe have the button where the openings in the dash or for the heated seats. those almost buttons...like if i almost had heated seats there wouldnt be room...lol

 

MOTYear!

this thread is so motivating to get off my *** and beautify my car, but I am in college, so hopefully somewhere down the road I can get a project like this going and finished in a reasonable amount of time.

 

OMG dis is like the best project ive seen so far on this .org....wow man i am truly a big hater on u cause ur car is gonna look so fukin clean as hell....man nice job and keep everythin goin....and i do hope u win MOTY

 

Well, I tried a dry mounting, and it destroys the "cleanliness" of the peice, I think I am going to try and find a place to stash the little bugger that will look nice and clean.

I would be more than honored to recieve such a high distinction. I don't know how to get into the MOTM running, I think I need to post pics in the picture forums, so I will wait until everything is done until I post there. Just don't forget to support me, guys.

 

Ok, I have been busy with the past few nights taking some computer programming classes (RS Logix 5000), but now I have some more time to devote to the car.

CURRENT STATUS:
-Monitor and HU have been mounted to the console.
-All power inverters and wiring harnesses have been soldered

THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY WORK
- Finish all remaining cold cathode, audio system, and LED wiring
- Mount passenger door
- Install subwoofer, amplifier (not to fg amprack, need to test settings)

NEXT WEEK
- Install center console
- FINISH ALL PLASTIC PANELS!!!


Lots of cool lighting stuff coming up, stay tuned!!!

 

Metal, Check ur PMs buddy, I am waiting to see what you have to say bout my last PM


and as always, your work is phenominal, I can't wait to see this bisch in person, and then you can admire my new paint job.....booya!

 

wtf, i thought your car was sterling mist! why does it look black?

 

It is black....

 

How about you install your lighting button on the driver side door near like the trunk release button or somewhere around there?

 

Or how about in the glove box, so when you open that up there is some blue illumination there as well

Or maybe in the armrest, or under the seat?

 

Hey Merovi check this out, did that guy did the same thing you're doing right now, is that how yours going to look like? You see it? And is he a member of ORG.?

 

The only difference, shurik, is that metal's looks 10x better and more professional.

 

i dont get it...i'm not modifying my dash...

 

UPDATE: Alright, guys...got some bad news. I have not been able to do S'HIT on this project since it being raining since Friday morning. This crap is supposed to continue until Wednesday, so I will have to just bide my time during the interim...


Brunoma. The man, the Legend. He parted out his Max and sold it last year. I think he now drives a G35.

That is the single best compliment I have recieved yet.

Me either...

 

damn, it sure is raining up there a lot this year...down here, it's been dry as a bone except for katrina and rita....either way, i hope you can get this done soon....everyone, especially yourself, i'm sure, is anxious to see the end results!

 

hey metal,
i saw the teaser pics for your seats and i was wondering if you had the pattern for the seats or knew where to get it? my gf's mom is a seamstress and is going to make me some seats i just dont want to pull off my original covers for the template.
thanks

 

Ship her up to Jersey. I wouldnt mind having alacantra inserts in my seats...

 

Believe you me man, I was a grump this entire weekend.

You will have to pull he original covers off, template or not. I hate to be a spoilsport, but there are many metal rods and plastic plates which comprise the seat reinforcments themselves which would have to be removed or fabricated in order to make new seat covers.

 

hey man...anyting new coming up?wasnt your next deadline this weekend?...lol...still waiting for the final result.

 

WELL...I did win 2 auctions for a 4th gen clusters...at least I will have something to do as this rain seems like its never letting up.

 

awe so you dont need my freebie cluster.....haha its cool

 

I give great respect to Dan for his ongoing project overhaul. the rain is a bich but people should remember that it's just Dan doing all the work then going to work/school.
Dan the Man aka Metal Max aka Mr. WestCoast Custom.
I'm waiting for the Sound Deadening crap to come in.
quick pic of my current interior

 

hey! he's mr. eastcoast customs.....f the west coast...haha....just kidding guys on the left coast don't kill me....

And damn straight dan is the man, engineers definitely can handle a plethora of things happening at once....

but this like any other engineering project is always planned to only take a little bit of time but usually ends up taking 15 times the original estimate...aint that right dan?

 

haven't chekced this thread in a while but damn. ur really making progress
can't wait for the finished product

whats up with the clips of u closing ur door and trunk?

 

Nothing much, but I got the seats started...MAN, is it a workout...



GOOD WEATHER THIS WEEKEND...SHOULD HAVE THE ICE DONE!!!

 

dang that is so nice

 

man this project has my complete attention...

Dan better get some major recognition for this ::cough:: Max of the Year ::cough::

There's gonna be alot of copy cats with this...aka me....haha

 

I said it before, and i'll say it again man... amazing job. I have to see this in person.. you better drive to a meet next year!

 

Awesome project, I'm really liking how it's coming out. You're gonna have to give me some pointers on wiring up some LEDs It's finally supposed to stop raining tonight so I cant wait to see the next batch of pictures!

 

hey metal...BRING IT ON!
