Thanks man, it actually happens pretty regularly whenever messing around with metal haha. It was my fault, I wasn't paying attention to where the grinding sparks were going...which was directly on me.

it just seems like every now and then posting a reply it will hang up and take forever. It does this on my work and home computer so I think it's the site-or the internetzzz in the panhandle just sucks. lol

Found a little 12V air compressor I had- sanded it down- primered it and painted it satin black. This pic is primer


This is a rough guesstimate of what I'm going for


Frame before paint

I'm actually going to cut a rectangle out of the foam below it to get a little circulation. It's not even going to be turned up halfway though, so I don't see it getting too hot.

I know all of these speaker box pics are looking the same but it's almost done I swear haha!

More bondo/sanding and I had to sand a flat spot in the top left of the box bc the convertible top compartment was touching the box a little bit.



Started making an amp rack with a vent hole that looks like the RE logo





Cleaned the vehicles a little bit
