Well we have been plugging away at the speaker boxes and should be able to cover them soon.
I am just beside myself, I ordered the Hemi this week along with the trans and some other small parts :bananasmi
It's going to be a Indy 472 with Kiesler 5 speed. I can't wait until it get's here!  Look's like about around Christmas :cooldancing:
I'll post up pictures when they get here. I'm going to drive there to get it and watch it on the dyno also.

Now THAT will be one sweet setup.....do us ALL a favor and save those measurements please....I've been looking to do something like that for my 'Cuda for a LONG time, just never found someone creative enough to think it up or had the patients to do it myself.

Please, please post the measurements if you have time and are willing.   :2thumbs:

If we never drown we'll never know how well it tastes....So tell me how it tastes and I'll know just how well you drowned.

I want to add that I didn't do the work on the boxes, I let that up to the guy's that work for me. They have a lot of talent in doing this type of work. They were nice enough to stay and do this for me and I can't say how much I appreciate it. So when the motor is done I'll be taking them with me to get it. Free food and paid day should work for them I hope. :smilielol:

It looks like the best way to get the box measurements out are to take pictures with the dimensions on the box. We will get that done soon and get them posted. One thing we did notice they DO NOT fit in a Cuda.
