Not a lot to show, but have been making a lot of progress on the wiring tuck/relocation. I have removed all the erroneous wires that are no longer necessary and have re-routed the entire harness through the cabin. What I am doing is effectively inverting the U shape the harness originally takes out around the engine bay and sending it back through the cabin and under the bins. I will be mounting my battery in the bin, replacing the factory relay block and main fuse block with a bussman fuse/relay block (see below), and mounting the large factory fuse/relay block by the rear driver side shock tower. The entire front harness below will now be routed through the cabin and out of sight.

I have got the harness routed through the cabin currently and have extended all the wires that still need to go to the front (head lights, horns, turn signals, etc.). I need to extend the fuse/relay block wiring, mount the battery, and wire up the bussmann still. I have also fully deleted the air bag wiring.

I have also begun fabricating my WG recirc tubes. They are going to be really tight, but should work out nicely. Still need to finish the transition to the DP.

Well with the pro shops manifolds showing up looking much worse even when they half assed polish their undercut ... So I would not be embarrassed one bit!

That is very true, I can't even keep a steady bead yet.

Other than the basic mechanics of torch angle, and keeping the filler in the shield gas the biggest lesson I learned was fit up is key. Tight fit up makes a good weld. I found running beads repetitively on an aluminum sheet helpful in the beginning to get the basics, then just stick as much scrap together as you can get your hands on. Keep at it, it's a great skill to have :icon_tup:

Got a nice little care package from Glenn. Thanks for the hook up homie! Looking forward to seeing what this ECU can do.

I'll make sure and bring along the MIG to DGRR and weld that on your balls for you ... seeing as you're so proud of it and all.
