Wow Dunenutt...looking great!

Can I ask you about the awning/tent/temporary garage :) you're building in? I see PVC pipe.... is this something you bought as a kit or did you design it yourself? I'll be starting my build in a few weeks or so and I was going to go with renting a shipping container to work in but your tent is giving me ideas.

Any plans on how to build it? Can you estimate the cost of it? (still talking about the tent, lol)

The tent is one of these. I built my truck in one also. In Arizona, the canopy lasts about a year. I just buy replacements from amazon.

I unscrewed the hatch, and it actually lifted. So far, no spring back!

Thanks, I'm trying. Hopefully next week I can get the doors mocked up, and get it wired.

Dude, your front cabinet is B-E-A-UTIFUL!
Is that red oak? Always been one of my favorites.
Are you going to enclose the insides of the speaker boxes? They will sound a lot better if you d...o and maybe pack some loose pink insulation in them.

:applause:
I have gone to find myself.
If I should return before I get back, please ask me to wait.

Yes, it is red oak. Trying to match the other interior cabinets. There will be a shelf, cabinet doors, and the speakers will be enclosed. I ran out of daylight, and return to work for the week :cry: I will hit it hard tomorrow thru Tuesday! :thumbsup:
