good stuff, , i like the toy beside the amp rack in the last pic haha.

About the bolt method you have, ,   isn't the wing thingy going to fall inside your fender everytime you remove the bolt??   After removing the bolt a few times your going to have a lot of those wings rattleing around in your fender.

as far as the amp rack is concerned i used polar fleece so that is pretty strong on its own after it is resined , also i am using Rage Gold body filler to get a smooth surface , it is pretty strong for what i need ,its just a decorative item i dont  need to use any fibreglass the frame is built out of MDF . it is open on the bottom to hide all the wires . ill post more pics after im done sanding by tomorrow .

as for the wing bolt yeah i guess if you cant reach it . i can on mine . anyway i dont plan on taking it out till i sell the car anyway lolol.

ive been a little busy as of late , trying to get a little done every day tho , here is 2 pics of the amp rack primed , the holes on the sides are for the power wires that are gonna get connected to fuses on both sides . the center is pretty ruff because the amps are gonna sit in there snug and nobody will see it . hope to get it done soon ill post more pics in a few days

Looking very good, just wondering what kind of paint you are using (brand wise)?
