Did you make that up? Or is that out of the wrecked truck you got the bed from? It looks sweet

Very awesome! I plan on polishing my truck this spring when it warms up, I would be okay with it being half as decent as your polishing job!!! That thing shines!!! Good job!

Ok folks been busy, bought a cheap square sub to test out the console box to see howni like it...
Put it in the box and ran it on a basic 100w pioneer amp sitting on the floor and it sounded pretty decent, truth will be shown when i put it on a real amp thats wired and tuned properly with more power thrown at it, if that works then it will be time for some kicker solo barics
Next since a big car show is in leas than 2 weeks, im busying my ass to get my black truck ready, yes im taking the project and not the show truck lol...
Anyways i got another tailgate for the bed thats already being built, this one is much straighter than any of mine, only a minor dent on the top to fix...
Then I decided the interior needed love, so out all the tan plastics and headliner came and i got to work...
Headliner and visors are black now, just like i did in my show truck.
Then i got started on the interior panels, everything is getting painted teal, since that will be one of the colors in the final paint job...
Thats the start so far, still got a bunch more to do

Test fitted the console sub box and ran 100% fosgate wiring, as i said before, trying to keep everything fosgate...
Now ill add this, the console was built for a square sub, so not knowing how it would turn out i bought this 12" square off of ebay for $40 bran new...
Honestly i cant say that i have been this wowed this much by a single sub on 300 watts before, it is unbelievable just how loud and clear the bass is with this setup, i really expected it to be terrible but it's enough that it shakes the tow mirrors so hard the glass in them will vibrate so much they adjust themselves to point into the dirt

Time for detailing the front half of the cab so it will match the new bed...
Taped off and ready to polish
A little before:
Then After:
So the door and cab are done, next is the fender and hood, then ill go back over the driver side again...
Here is a 50/50 of the door and the fender, you can see the drastic difference really well...
