We got a 1966 Pontiac LeMans in the shop sunday for a radio, 4 speakers, and an amp and subs. So here's some pictures. Whatcha guys think.

 

Me and Rob. (I'm the one on the right)

Now for the important stuff. The finished product.

 

The amp mounted to a carpetted board. We used black because that's what the customer was going to have put in the trunk.

The whole trunk. You can see the back of the amp board in the lower left corner.

The radio all nice and mounted.

Speakers all hacked in and mounted.

The car came in with an aftermarket power antenna BADLY wired in. So we fixed that too.

Thats all. please be kind remember, I work at a big box so any really cool custom stuff I'm not allowed to do.

I would recommend painting the speaker covers black. They look way to NEW for a car this old. Otherwise nice pics.

Sweet car, and you guys did a nice job! I just hope the owner fixes that baby up a bit, maybe some armor-all or polish for the dash, doors, and seats? Looks so filthy!

Cars used to be made out of wood???? And not just that wood trim either from the looks of that picture. You guys just increased the cars value 100 fold by putting that stuff in there.

Damn! Where were you when I got my Z1 installed at CC? I think I spent more time looking at your pics than they spent installing it. Hence I had to go back and connect stuff they forgot (or didn't know about

) and correct stuff they messed up!

Nice job.

 

I must have been nice to work on an older car with some room under the dash.
