Looks good I would be happy with those results.

Little lower, little cooler, bigger sounds.
Kind of am already. 
lol.. I have to finish this, and do some on my buddies Cordoba. Change floor pans, rockers, and and a middle cab corner on the blue truck.
And my father in law is thinking about paying me to do 3/4 of the lower 1' of his extended Ford van.
After that, I have floor stuff and inner doors on my mom's jeep she's been hounding me about, and somewhere in there I have a bunch of holes forming in the wife's Yukon lol.
I may just buy her a different one though. Sounds way easier lol

Forgot to add these.
This flex block has a nice radius on the edge when the paper folds over the sides. And it works amazing on the arch. Plus down in the body lines.
And I got some of these Rolocs that are essentially a small flap disc. They got right in to the body line, And made short work of the blending in there.
Also found out, their claim of working up to 20,000rpm was false, because the first time I smacked the trigger it exploded off the die grinder, bounced off the truck and then my face shield.
Put it back on and use the trigger gingerly lol.

Real easy to think these are the same. And I'm still not convinced they aren't made in the same factory. Just to different companies specs.... 
Very Few differences aside from the IAC circuit holes.
Blade a little thicker, and MAYBE at a different angle.
It DOES seem to have quicker throttle response though. Which is a plus. Lol

Lithium batteries would be lighter and work better for the amps since they have much lower internal resistance, no need for caps with those. I dig the old school Orion amps though.
I won't do lithium inside this truck.
I'm thinking I'm going to switch to starting batteries instead of deep cycle though.
For the faster discharge rate.
I'm not risking a $40k build on lithium batteries lol.

The lifepo4 are pretty safe, better than lithium ion and they have come down in price quite a bit.
I got these 280ah for $400
I run LiFePO4s in my RV, the shop truck, and my camping trailer. The ones in my RV and trailer are of the chinesium variety (Vestwood) and I've never had issues. I've been playing with lithium batteries for 20+ years in RC cars and planes, never had one catch on fire.
Modern ones have all kinds of safeties built in, not to mention you bring your cell phone in the truck all the time. I'd rather run the small risk of fire than the high risk of dumping battery acid all over the place. Ask @ktmoutfront how fun it is when your Optima gel cell vents on the trail.

I only run AGM in cab. And I don't CHARGE my cell phone in it. Lol.
That's the part that gets my brain, is the massive discharge rates, followed with high amps going back in immediately.
It's got to be 99% safe or companies like XSpower wouldn't have lasted so long.
I keep staring at em when I'm in stereo mode on the web.
Just not ready to jump on board yet lol.

AGM=Gell Cell like an Optima, the can still vent and spray acid vapor all over inside your cab. I've had it happen with an X2 AGM in my RV, I saw it happen to Wade on the tail, and I've even had it happen to me with a battery in a UPS in a datacenter.I only run AGM in cab.

Optima batteries are AGM, but that is not the same thing as Gel. The AGM has lower resistance and therefore can deliver more current. Gel isn't really what you want for starting your car - those are the batteries found in UPS and emergency lights. Any lead-based battery can be boiled to where it vents if it's charged hard enough. AGM is safer than flooded, though.
I did not realize that, I thought they were two terms for the same thing. At any rate, if you have an AGM, gell cell, or flooded lead acid battery installed inside your vehicle it should be installed in a sealed case that is vented outside of the vehicle.
