Picked up my other W7 sub yesterday, and tested the system. At first I couldn;t get any sound to play, because I disconnected the monsoon amp which run all the factory speakers. This wasn't the only issue. I had the wires running 2 ohms bridged mono and the speakers are rated 3 ohms so I had to run from one channel 4 ohms instead. I have to run a secondary wire to the other sub so each one has their own channel. It sounds amazing though! Super impressed with the bass response. 500 watts per sub from the 1000 watts RMS Zapco amp which is like 10 years old. Great amp! Cant wait to cruise!

Metal shaping 101: not easy but it's fun! Certainly easier and faster then fiberglass and foam and all that bullshit. Here's where I'm at! It's actually lookng like something. I'm getting advice from the old guys on metalshaping forum. More here:
This is where it's to bulbus (if that's the right word)

Wow, I'm going to be watching this thread very closely now. I am so in to learn about body work and Im trying to absorb as much information as possible before I start doing flares like these. Awesome work man!

Unscrewed the buck from the car to check the shape better and test the fender. I also tipped the lower edge to create the body line and shrunk the material in to lay the edge flat. Looking for rubber trim that will help correct inconsistencies in my shape and close any gaps nicely. Here's how it sits now. Next I will make screw flats, and tip the wire edge in and over to create a strong edge. There will be transition pieces on either end that go from the fender to the car just in case you wondered.

I will start the next buck for the other side and make my screw flat tool which is basically a modified vice-grip with an impression die for jaws. Remaining on this fender is flats, front and back transition pieces then body work, prime, and wrap. I should get faster! Pics later computer is slow
