1949 Plymouth

October 1, 2007 -- Gary Hughes was a remarkable man, he was bigger than life and he never tried to be.  He had a zest for life and for his family and a smile that lit up a room -- his laugh was infectious and his heart was full.  To say he was a fighter is an understatement, to say he wouldn't give up doesn't even begin to discribe his detirmination.  It was a privilege to have been able to help him see this dream car come to fruition, to know that he took this car to shows all over and won awards everytime, to see the pride in his face when he took his first trophy at the Portland Roadster Show in 2006 .  He will be greatly missed, it was a honor for those of us at Soundsational to have known him and count him as a friend.  He was very supportive of Matt and I in our hour of need, he was a strength for us that I can not explain.  There are no words adequate .....  Our prayers to his family.

 

This Plymouth is a tribute to Fire Fighters everywhere.  The owner, Gary Hughes, loves to tell the stories of how a car like this has great memories for him and the fact that not many people restore this particular car makes it even more enjoyable for him to take it to shows.  We worked closely with Jon Lind Interiors as the car was being built, which allowed us to run the wires before the carpet was glued down and  integrate the stereo "seamlessly"to the interior of the car.  There's a lot you could miss the first time around on this ride: Eclipse AVN5500, 4 Audison LRX amplifiers,  2 sets of Focal 165K3P 3-way seperates, 2 (I know it looks like 3) JL Audio 10W6v2 subwoofers, and a 17" Monitor in the trunk.  When we do these "crazy" custom installs in these specialty vehicles we work closely with our vendors, like JL (that 3rd sub, that is actually a cover to the gas cap), to give the customer a little something extra that no one else will have.  We also install complete show circuitry to allow the systems to be fully powered even when the battery and such have to be disconnected and taped off during exhibitions.
