Well, took last weekend off... Started up again today. Before I can begin the tank install, amp rack and sub box must be installed. As all fabricators know, if you install something before another, you get to install all over again anyways, here are a few pics of the box being built (currently waiting for adhesive to dry):
This morning I picked up some hydraulic hose to replace those that go from the tank to the valves. I still need to lift the car in order to measure the length from bag to valve so I can get some more hydraulic hose for them, heres what I got this morning (as you can see, fittings are permanent, so measurement has to be precise):

Oh yea, and box is made for SQ cause I didnt want to build it in the car again (ugh I hate that) anyways, thats why the box is so small, biggest port I could make with only 4.5ft^3 of air space should sound sexy though

Ok I've got a bit more done
Got all the hydraulic hoses ran:
Nothing funner than running hydraulic hose through the car, just as fun as running 0awg wire but bigger
Ok done
Now test fitting panels for proper fitment:
Driver Side:
Passenger Side:
Now after a little trimming, all set to go and bottom of amprack in place:
Now due to the thickness of some of the metal, I didnt screw into it so I used some silicone and am currently waiting for it to dry so I can proceed to amp install.

OMFG! I'm so tired! LoL, back is killing me too! I got a lot done today, all carpet done except woofer box (waiting for it to dry completely) Gotta install amps (easy to do) cut out beauty panel then got to put tanks back in (another breeze) maybe couple more hours of work then it will be done. cant do anymore cutting tonight (too late), so gonna have to wait until tomorrow for beauty panel, cant install tanks until beauty panel is in either. Once I rest a bit and back stops hurting, I can go back out and install the amps carpet/install box then call it a day... or night rather...

Yea, I have to be in a hunched position the whole dam time! Lucky I had to put a jack under the rear and jack it up ALL the way so I can get to the rear bags and change the hose. That enabled me to work on the trunk at waste level, but still gotta hunch, just not as much...
I want to light up the amprack (since there will be plexi) however I changed the panel a bit. Instead of 1 big window, I'll have 3 separate windows with partitions. Im gonna have to do some thinking on how I want to do it. I'm torn though on what color to use, I'm thinking just plain white cause anything else might clash with the black of the car. I'm a bit po'ed though cause I really didnt want to use carpet, seems so primitive...I wanted to do leather vinyl, but was gonna be a b-tch to do it all and I was already overwhelmed with the whole project as it is
