very nice....i wonder how much power you are going to bu putting out with that setup. I can't wait to see the finished piece. I love it when people use the 12A as a platform..alot of people seem to toss it and go with a 13B instead. Im happy to see you went against the grain Nice work!

Nice looking setup. You may want to watch the temps on your electronics mounted inside the glove compartment. If you keep the door closed, they may overheat. I imagine you could cut some ventilation holes in it and maintain the location.
