Yeah, I'd like to see some interior shots...

You really should do some stereo stuff in there...Your car would ROCK with a DVD player and Screen...not that it doesnt rock already ...

I have a defrost switch modified to be my switch for my driving lights. That way it appears stock and I always hated seeing that location being blank. It is wired so that the when the parking lights are off the driving lights are off too. I also have it wired so the indicator light on the switch comes on when the driving lights are on.

All my other switches are under the drivers ash tray door.
1. Main switch - turns off power to the rest of the switches
2. Engine lights switch
3. PONTIAC strobe switch
4. Headlight covers lights
5. Headlight covers strobes
6. Undercar neons lights.

I started the panel with flat rocker switches but they were too large to keep adding so by the time it came to install more switches I changed to mini metal toggle switches. I want to redo the panel now to have uniform switches throughout. I might be adding more lights & strobes in the future so I also need to have room for more switches.

My stereo does sound great already. The late model Pontiac radios are great. I have 3-way Pioneer speakers up front and Pioneer 2-way on the B-pillars. Those combined with the factory sub-woofer gives the car a solid sound. I have custom tuned the sub-woofer amp to get maximun benifit from the Rodney Dickman sub-woofer. It has a much stronger thump now then before. The cassette head unit also controls the 6 disk Delco CD changer. The changer has all of its controls in the head unit. The changer is mounted on the left front fender wall under the hood. I really like the unit because it looks stock plays great and would be an unlikely target for theives. No self respecting theif would steal a cassette radio and they would have no idea it is connected to the CD changer since their is no tell-tale CD control.

Sure I have thought about DVD units and might go down that road someday. Got too many other projects to complete first.

I'd love one of those intake hoses. Do you have paypal. Email me and let me know whats up ok? I'd like to buy ASAP. Thanks

If you have a picture of the front compartment, I would love to see more on the placement of the CD changer. I'm getting ready to do my install as soon as I get adaptors. I also need the harness to go between the tape deck and the changer if you know any sources...

Were did you get the Middle Vent? I need to work on getting my engine cooler, its too hot were I live. I have 3 fans that I wanna wire up under the section were you have your middle Vent, and have them sucking air out of the engine compartment through some vents, I like your vent and would love to install it. These fans blow like there is no tomorow, and they take minimal power.

Thanks. I taught photography for years so that helps.

The CD changer is available from any GM dealer. The radio can control either a 6 or 12 disc changer. I bought mine through Ebay for $85. The changer connects to a 9 pin socket on the back of the radio. You can see it in this picture near the center of the back.

This plug is not found on all Pontiac radios so be sure you have the correct radio before buying the CD changer. Be sure not to buy a 10 disc Delco changer. The 10 disc changer is not hard wired to the radio so the sound in not as good and you still would need a seperate CD control.

You have not read carefully it was covered on page 1. lol I made the vent from a pair of GT engine vents. It was a very difficult piece to make. I spent more time on that than the engine window.

Now go back and read. There will be a test on the material tomorrow. J/K

Sorry Songman it took a while to remember to take some pics for you. Here they are. If you have a sunroof you might have to move the sunroof storage mounts over to the right side slightly as we did in Vonnies car. I also had to slightly move the prop rod on her car to clear the changer.

I got my changer harness from a GM dealer. Be sure to get the one with the correct connectors. Sorry I don't remember the part number.
