As some of you know, Heather has not returned to work since her accident. Her back still hurts and is giving her problems.

As a result, the leather seats that were in the truck simply had to go. They are to stiff for her comfort. So I picked up a set of cloth seats up in Gainesville this week. They are pretty stained up and need to be reupholstered but I will get that done as time allows.



So the day after I picked up the new front buckets, I struck gold finally on another seat that I have been after for so long. The passenger "40" section rear seat! Picked it up at a local junkyard on a pretty good deal. So I swapped a few things here and there, modified a couple small pieces and boom, it looks factory!




Now... What the hell am I going to do with that HUGE gap in between the rear buckets?



Here is a hint






That was the first piece, and the aftermath of cardboard...
So, this was the design and start







That is about all I got done last night... It became to late for me to be out in the shop running power tools...

So today I got most of it finished.






On the back wall between the seats I am going to put a "blingy" Ford oval or something like that, and have some green LED's lighting it up.

The box itself right now is bare and you can see the top is not finished. I am going to be filling the 'gap' level accross the top and then adding about 1" of foam pad for a arm rest. And the final point will be when I get all the seats reupholstered, the box is going to get fitted with the same design/material to match.

I chose not to go with my original idea of having a speaker showing for the simple fact that I like it sleek, clean, and functional. The box holds 2 12" CVR's in a down firing position. This provides much more bass/sound than it would have if I had gone with a front firing setup, and it gives a full arm rest and flows with the rest of the lines on the interior.


Thanks for looking!!!

 

Nice work!

looks good so far man

 

Looks good man so far!

Box looks good so far

 

Cost, do not remember... Ordered from superbrightleds.com


Thanks for the props on the box guys!

 

That is an interesting concept to get rid of that 60 rear seat. I have never thought about that. My main interior wish is that I would have held out for leather and the console shifter instead of the column.
