Was able to take some pictures of the battery mount in its almost complete stage:






I need to mark and drill the mounting holes, and add one small piece of steel in the bottom plate to be able to use one more mounting bolt. This will use 3 out of the stock 5 mounting bolts.

 

You, good Sir, certainly have more, um, energy than I do. Not to mention your excess of Get up and go. Also, moxie.
Stop it. You're making me look bad.

 

Sorry for the slow update, but the girlfriend gave birth to a 20'' long boy, Daxtyn Carter Daniel Sauve

Anyways, the aluminum washer fluid jug came back, holds more fluid than stock, but should of done it differently. Should of made it lower, plus I didnt notice the little curve in the oem plastic piece that sits below the carpet in the trunk... so now it is being pushed out by the jug. I bought an universal pump, tubed it in, might try and see what the stock jug looks like again

I cut the bottom of the plastic deck piece a bit:


Also my new stereo bezel came in last week sometime, already pulled the one vent out of it and cut it up

I had two gauges in the old dsm I had years ago located in the center vent, so far its not much work to get them to fit in there. Just waiting on glue to dry on it for now, then I will be doing some more filling/sanding tomorrow. I want to get this done before the sub because its kind of more important and more useful. I didnt like the steering column mounts (blocks part of the instrument cluster), I dont like pillar mounts (too many things for passing drivers to look at), and the mounts under the HVAC controls are too low and too far away from the field of view.

Atleast the garage is warm for tomorrow

 

Still more work to do yet Too busy haha

 

 

That looks great. What are you using for paint? Assuming you're just going to spray the whole piece? No concerns about using the heat in the car and having it blast right into the back of your gauges?

 

that looks really cool, love to see it finished.

 

Wow i havent seen anything like this before, cant wait to see finished pics.
