some sound proofing, carpet, seats,panels and headliner. Headliner was a serious PIA with the roll cage in place

The rear seat had to be bent slightly to get past the roll cage, another PIA. It worked though and looks slick

the dash houses an after market stereo with 180 watts. I used each channel to power the four 4" 45 watt RMS speakers that are mounted in the dash. two in the outer speakers locations and two in the center location (kit from kenwood to replace the single center dash speaker). I ran a line out to the 1,000 watt Exploid amp in the trunk. One channel powers two 4x6 360 watt RMS Kenwood speakers. (in the factory location, no mods needed) The second channel is bridged and feeds the sub that looks like a Nitrous bottle. The pic doesn't show it , but I replaced the original sticker with an actual NOS sticker. So everybody at the cruise in's think the car has Nitrous... lol
Stereo looks totally factory and sounds killer with the hidden 1200 watt system

Other minor details not mentioned in the build were the Aftermarket A/C and some gauges to shown in the pic above. I also have a three quart reservoir hidden in the fender that supplies oil before the motor is started so the car never has a dry start. Also since it was built on a road race platform I added an oil cooler with a 180 degree thermostat. Overall not a bad street car.
Items left in the build:
