So the Good part of the weekend....
Saturday i was able to get into the lanes and do my runs early.
156.03DB In IDBL which is now the personal best(just a burp with the bass)
Also destroyed my previous bass boxing runs (30 second DB averages on music)
sealed run- 154.42DB
driver door open run- 154.62DB
Both front doors open run- 151.62DB

My now favorite picture of the Tahoe from surf city 27D01073-8B13-492B-9A70-CD42D65CB36C.jpeg
Trophies finally came from finals in Alabama. 3rd place I was okay with the guys who got first and second had a lot more powerful/bigger builds than me. I’m just glad I was able to hang somewhat haha 7A263F8B-5E71-4353-93FC-9357C680E8B0.jpeg7963FFC6-5F2A-4C94-AF31-6E6DB61D8515.jpeg
Steve Meade noticed my fuse block was getting old on a ig post so he sent me the updated fuse block for free which was pretty damn cool! 7C63AD63-F146-4080-82DF-149E83C13F4F.jpegA62A24C7-83B7-4CF3-BBF0-B628EFB19407.jpeg

I did find out that the Tahoe still can drive in snow safely. Even on low pro street tires. Obviously was very careful low speed but I made it around town alright plowing here and there lol 292D47AC-C5B2-4804-A076-F42D2C81B731.jpegCB9E9F5C-94DB-423E-8844-55933A1EC74D.jpeg
As you can see here after gluing the surrounds I clearly kept beating on my subs(still do) hah. And did not realize this one had loose motor bolts. Well long story short noticed it moving a lot, got lucky the motor is still good and didn’t drop far since my ports are right there. So 5 subs it has been until I get them re coned. 81E89D5D-FA50-4B55-9D73-29ED880659AA.jpegB8339F8C-DF5C-4976-905A-5C3723530B21.jpeg69F10B4A-E1CA-4486-BC6A-C618DB6AF8E6.jpeg
Surprisingly enough it still plays fairly well being down a sub.

My dad has always wanted a nova. A friend of a friend Had this 64 in southern oregon. 70k original miles, restored, fully built sbc 400 with a b&m 144 blower and fitech efi, 9” rear end with posi, th400 trans, hydro boost rack & pinion etc etc. we made a trip down there to look at it.

Unaware of the fact it came with about 15k worth of spare parts, and a shit load of paperwork including the original purchase order, every title it’s ever had, the original plates and plate frames, and the letter from Chevrolet thanking the couple for their purchase back in 64. Got it for a super good deal So that’s been a fun car to cruise the past couple months for him… and me the couple times he was dumb enough to let me drive it AB6E722E-0208-4627-B05B-1F9DF59366C5.jpeg10503603-B56C-451A-B20F-DFF7619287AC.jpegC3270744-234E-4096-9F7C-9175884A8946.jpeg72BF73DA-6DE6-4520-BEEE-13AB5FB21044.jpeg4BBB2D48-BE3D-4EB8-A1DA-74FF1EB94C4D.jpeg

My dad is impatient…wonder where I get it from hmmm. He put these wheels on the car for now to get rid of the Porsche wheels that were on it. The reasoning behind those wheels was that the rear end needs to be narrowed still so not much tire can fit unless it’s on a very high offset wheel. The car already has traction issues and he sacrificed a inch of tire to fit these wheels. Which they do look a lot better but hopefully this winter we will get the rear end narrowed and a fatter tire back on it.

Also got a forever sharp steering wheel in there D38374D6-3DF0-491B-9188-AF5000A858F0.jpeg
When gas started sky rocketing I finally got my civic cleaned up a little and fixed some small issues it had. 37 mpg free shitbox with working ac is alright by me haha. 4D450F4E-C890-4827-90F3-BC8FF0DAF291.jpeg
