[simpits-tech] Overhaulin'

[Marc Quintin]

"was that a '91 Ford Explorer? All of the rest seemed to be cars and pickup 
trucks. "

Yes it was

"I have seen similar treatment done to make custom speaker housings for 
vehicles."

They did that too on that show. It looked fairly easy to do even when there 
is a lot of curves involved, and I have seen something very simillar to that 
on making water pounds, wonder if it's the same stuff
