I started on the red rivs sound system today. but before I show you whats getting hidden I'd like you to meet her roomates, they each have their own page so check them out (just click on member id at top left.
1975 Riv, this one is my sons, needs a bit of work on the interior, only real rust is around the landau otherwise she is very solid only few paint bubbles has less than 28000 miles on it, and a 455 although detuned and pollution control restricted unlike the red riv.
1968 Sportwagon have owned this one for a long time just as
rust free as the other two starting to bubble a bit around the rear fenders and interior has discolouration but the rarest in car in the yard - also the most mileage at 105000 it has 350 two barrel and turbo 300, its original owner pulled an airstream with it so it is geared low has a massive hitch and trailer brakes.

1996 yukon for deep snow days - its for sale as is the wagon, you can see I dont have room inside for them anymore, plus we have a couple of of late 80's olds 88s around here somewhere for when the weather is bad.
Here's the red rivs sound system, thought I'd lay the components out since you won't see most of it when in the car.
The original radio is going back in its right place,

The speakers are being be upgraded in the stock locations, with the rampage sub woofer and quest cd/mp3 changer being hidden above the spare tire.
The ash tray is being modified to house the main head. 
out with the old in with the new



trial fit looks good, needs some paint and tweaking.

Both the original and the new are up and running just need get them fitted in place and finish with the speakers and wire up the sub, finish wiring the changer.

Nice dash EH!

Remember the yellowed parts of the interior -

well since I had to remove some it to install the sound system I started working on that today also - check the next page to see the yellow disapear.
