I wanted a Internal over flow so i checked out my options. The goal was to have 1500 GPH plus internal over flow box.
Option #1 for the holes was to have my LFS drill it for 35 per hole with Jig/press meant to do that sort of thing. He said it would probably be cheaper for a glass shop do it. The advantage for letting him do it was he had the bulk heads and fittings. I never looked into it the glass shop price.
Option #2 for the holes was to do it my self and save the labor cost so i could afford to buy fittings.
after seeing it could be dun rather easily on youtube and not finding any horror stories while researching, I went with #2. Man! it wold be a pain to put it in the truck.
After i drilled 7 hole the LFS owner looked at me like i was Evil Knieve
I wanted to build in a box that spanned the entire length but building one looked like to much of a hassle and buying one wold be to costly. The next best thing was small but functional box from
