Very nice man, your car is freaking sweet, and you have done it right! That box is nice as hell, how much to make me one, what all would I need to make it fit?

yeah the motor and exhaust sound great

all in all the box maybe i put 200 into it. then hella labor. thats why most shops wanted to charge me in a range starting no less than $400 and up but the $400 was like a guestimate starting price i was like uh nevermind do it myself. to make it fit? its shaped in the interior. and pulled in and out to finish it up. talk about getting your interior messy. but it turned out pretty good for a first box for me. but my friend went to audio school and helped me through it.

$200 invested in building the box? were you using 3/4 mdf, or something extremely expensive? Couldnt imagine a box like that costing over $50 dollars to put together, just a whole lot of labor.

mdf, fiberglass/ resin, roto zip drill bit that broke, tape, carpet, waxpaper to wrap interior to build shape, cut off wheel, scuffing bits to scuff between layers of resin....

I saw a picture in a magazine once were they had cut a "window" into the valvecover and then sealed it with a red tinted plexiglass/lexan. That was sweet. Of course I don't think it would work with our heads because they are centerbolts and the ones in the magazine had perimeter bolts.
