Hello fellow Mudders,
I have been working on a quarter panel mount now for my 80 for the last little while. At first I was very frustrated with never getting on a list with wits end, but now I realise I probably saved myself a bunch of trouble, money and head aches not dealing with him. So in my frustration, I figured "I am a welder and fabricator after all! Why don't I build one myself!" I didn't want to halt my stereo build any further and wanted everything hidden under the factory trim as planned previously.
My first prototype I built out of aluminium and had to weld it together, but now after multiple test runs I believe to have my final product. Although similar looking to wits end model, I can assure you it is different. There are only so many shapes and angles that can fill up that hole nicely and have the trim cover.
This is my first ever business venture, as I still work full time and will be doing this after work and on weekends. I am also still figuring out all the logistics associated with building a product like this and also figuring out the shipping from Canada part. So please be patient with me!
The DIY QPM is made out of 16 gauge steel that is precision laser cut.
It will be sand blasted and powder coated textured black
All hardware needed to install the DIY QPM will be provided, including the red interior clips, because everyone knows they are broken, brittle or about to be.
HOWEVER this QPM will NOT include any wood. I am a welder after all, not a carpenter this "would" now make it the DIY part of the project.
This is my first prototype which I attached my amps to, with room to spare for future goodies
Here is the Panel in its final form, better pictures to come soon!
I am throwing this post up to see how many of you guys are interested! I look forward to hearing back from hopefully a bunch of you, then maybe I can help your dream 80 build come true!
