Just for the record….i built a gun safe in the dash of a Camaro 14 years ago….the car has been impounded twice by police and the guns are still in his dash. The trim across the bottom of the airbag, the entire piece , motorizes out of the dash on drawer slides. When it’s closed, it’s impossible to tell it exists.

They find stuff when it’s done incorrectly. Haha.

But, yes, if they are getting searched, it’s usually too late. roflmao
This is more to keep the competition away.

That one I used a PAC TR7 to activate upon flipping the power mirror switch selector to the right, left, right, left in under two seconds. Very reliable and almost impossible for someone to stumble across.

Seems like Allison is living rent-free in your head.

I get it was supposed to be an insult but it was pretty lame and makes you look a bit dumb imo

So does Trump take up a lot of room “rent free”? If you bet theres room in his head, you kind of took away the entire point of your insult

Looks like it will be tomorrow or Monday for the cool stuff to get here. I made a template for the 1/8th inch steel back of the seat. I will weld hinges to the steel and then cover it in some black Ozite carpet. To look like the factory back cover.
The magnetic reed switch and the actuator are being Amazoned to me.

Don’t know without looking at one really close. This person has a 2023 Corvette convertible. We put custom wheels on it. I’m sure I might get called upon to do something in that car too. He also has a 2024 Armored Escalade. I just finished working on it. Then this 2024 Buick station wagon looking thing shows up for me to build this in. This car is VERY anonymous looking. Fits in at Target, the mall, the zoo, haha. Everywhere a mom and three kids would go.
We didn’t headliner yesterday, so I was able to cut a spot out of the cardboard backing for the reed switch before it was covered in black suede.

Don’t know what I’ll charge him yet. Gotta see how much time it takes. It’s only about $150 in parts and material. The labor is gonna be the kicker.
