Mah new amp rack.

Not really a build log so i'm puttin it in the general section. Just some before and after pics.

Before it was just sitting where my back seat used to be, sliding all over the place, with the wires exposed.

Now i think its pretty clean, i really like the way it turned out.

I cut some holes in the rack and cut a slit in the "pleather" for the wires to go through, looks pretty good imo

taking these pictures made me realize just how old and beat up my truck is, kinda funny considering the some of the work i put into this thing. oh well, i consider it practice for a "real" vehicle.

and no, i didn't bother to clean my truck at all for these pics, lol.

and a cliche artsy glamor shot of her rusted glory

Not bad, my buddy used to have a V8 Dakota, and it was a fun truck.

what kinda paint is on that box

couple layers of primer, couple layers of flat black spray paint, and many many layers of polyurethane, with light sanding between each coat. don't ask me why i used flat, gloss might have work just as well.

looks way better brah, could have wrapped the edges better, you use a heat gun to stretch it?
