ok so its been forever since ive done anything on my car or have even been on here but today i finally got my lazy *ss to finish mounting my flip out deck. it looks good i just need co do something to make the face plate work. i also threw one one of those blacked out license plate covers. but i recently got a job at a big mall down the street from me selling and repairig jewelry and yesterday i had my camino parked outside there for the whole day and when i got out some **** face ******* stole my hood pins and lanyards. like what the ****! i was pissed but atleast i had a latch so they couldent get under the hood. but i def need to do something for security. either way ill try to post some progress. ill be getting alot more done now that i have money.

so i got home from work a while back and i was thinking about the radio faceplate. i figured id need to either cut up my original or add to a monte ss one i had cuz it was the double din kind and i only have single but the install kit i got was kinda big so i figured id try it out first and it fit like a glove! no midification at all! so im pumped about that. radio install complete! after only a year haha ill get pics tomorow

hey hows it goin buddy havent been in ur thread lately how much wud it cost me to have u make some firewall to core support braces and fender to core support for THA RUNT?

its going good man how about you? and idk i dont have access to a press anymore to crush the ends of the bars down. i can walk you through every step on how to do it if you want.

what ya can do to make the flattend ends is heat it up with a map tourch and then beat it with a mini sledge.

a couple days ago i found a grant removable steering wheel kit on craigslist for 75 bucks. i was looking into getting one of these for a while. if you dont know what they are that are a kit that installin on your column so you can turn a key and take your steering wheel off so no one can steal your car. the only reason i didnt buy it on summit was cuz it was like $130 plus shipping. but anyways i emailed the guy and he said he would take 50 bucks so i picked it up and put it in in less than 20 minutes. my only complaint is that it brings the steering wheel about 3 inches closer but ill get use to it. ill get some pics of it in the car tomorow.

just got some sh*t in the mail, a jlink cable for my deck so i can watch movies and videos from my ipod. it works really good.

and then i got a set of hood pin lanyards cuz some *ss face stole mine. i also got my gauge leds in but they arnt as bright as i though but whatever ill live. i also got my center console lid secured down so no more double sided tape holding my car together haha. and for some reason my interior light when you twist the light switch wouldent come on but i pulled everything apart and it started working again. i still need to paint my drums black and i want to hook up my front mount cam and thats my plan for tomorow. but im running out of ideas so someone give me some! or if someone wants to custom make me sumthin and sell it im down cuz i want some more custom sh*t!
