ImPo's 72 GC10 2000GT

This week all of the chrome pieces were removed and are now out being re-chromed. Bumpers, door handles, grills, tail lamp bezels, etc. In addition I decided the audio system could use a go through. I picked up a new deck and some 6x9's for the rear. Looks like the car originally came with 4" or 4.5" rear speakers. Some modification is required for these 6x9" but it should be worth it. I made up a new rear shelf panel and some spacers for the speakers since the new 6x9's sit a little deeper and would contact the fuel tank through the shelf without a spacer. Finished product should be Wednesday after the panel gets new vinyl.

Awesome indeed! Love that matte black wrinkle finish. Did you apply it yourself, or did the cam-cover come prepped like that? Neko.

The cam cover is actually just matte black. I tried the wrinkle coating and kept getting uneven wrinkling. After stripping it three times and three cans of wrinkle paint yielding the same results I gave up...

Rear shelf and spacers vinyl'd and ready for install

Completed. Alpine 6x9" custom fit and wired. I wasn't anticipating much difference in sound quality from the pair of 4" Clairon speakers and the Sanyo deck but I was blown away. The difference in sound quality is out of this world. I was debating on adding front speakers but as it stands, I'm very pleased with the results.

Also made up some new kick panels for the front foot wells.

Looks like Marks "hellaflushhako" on here. Correct me if Im wrong.

ImPo · **Posted:** Wed Oct 10, 2012 1:47 pm

His name is Mark. I didn't get his handle on jnc but Norcal510 might be correct. I met him at the monthly Torrence meet last Friday. We made a good impression at the meet. Swarms of people gathering around our cars. It was a good time. I'm considering going again next month.

Maybe the red car can make an appearance?

It's been a while since I've updated my thread. Apologies for not staying current on the boards. Heres a little video for you guys. A friend of mine started a project and created a short clip using my Hako. Here's a link,

Cool vid Eric!

Yes, the vid was very nice! The only thing I don´t like is when it says it´s a GTR Skyline in the description. Clearly it´s not a GT-R so that can only confuse people.
