Chief,
That looks great.. you are inspiring me
to get my New Dimple dies out of the box
and get going

Keep up the good work

Bob

Thanks
 

Thanks, the first time I'd ever dun this, it came out nice [read: after I did some straightening, too close to the edge caused a little warpage] :hapdance: Now get your dies out and build something cool :gitrdun:


:popcorn2: waiting for pics!

Mounted the boxes!
 

Well, I used my ACE Hardware to find some alternatives to Rivnuts ...seeing as how I didn't have the blind nut tool or nuts and not really likely the bulkiness of the nut on the backside I went with this ....

Of course I bonded these into the metal ..

These gave the perfect standoff for the mounts on the computer

Bonded in 1/4 - 20

KISS ....didn't think all that GM mounting stuff was necessary so I took the box apart and drilled a hole and mounted the box to the plate.

Came out just like a thought it would!


Just need to drill through the inner wheel well and mount a rubber bushed nut to the Al, that's for another day, thanks for looking ...

looking good Chief!

Update 2/5
 

Thanks Joe, one thing at a time right? Been trying to warm up the garage a bit to work, waiting on some 20 ga TXL wire for my harness I have to make to integrate my IQ3 Street dash to the GM harness.
Since I mounted the relay box where I did I have to extend the IQ3 harness about 4 feet.
Waiting on my through bulkhead connector for power and working on a mount for my AAW fuse box for the dash area -- never ends!!!

I did drill a hole in the tunnel area for a pass-through grommet and finished wiring my Entropy fan controller, just need to wire it up the GM harness, yeah!

Had to remove about 18 inches from the harness to make it neat and tidy!

This looks good ... didn't care for the BIG HOLE in the dash look ...the GM harness stuff will come through the side tulip panel!


Working on the wiring harness for the incorporation of the IQ3 dash into the GM harness and user indications (turn signals, hi beams, whether I'm being followed, ect,) and planning the routing of said stuff to look right ...


Thanks for looking ...

Question!!
 

Forgot to ask .... any easy methods of getting this spring onto the hood hinge? Remember I'm the only on here ... lol:lmao:

Had to replace the OEM hinges with these Heartbeat City repros ... pretty close to originals!

Suggestions always welcome ...

Grab the end towards the front with vice grips, hook the back side and pull it to the front and hook it on the hinge.

Chief........DON'T USE VISEGRIPS OR MULTIGRIPS.......a fanbelt is SO much safer!!

[QUOTE=Beechy;700404] Thanks Jim, I thought about the vice grip idea but yours is a great idea and safer ... now I have to go buy a fan belt, lol!

Thanks again ...

Here is another alternative if you need a stud. I am mounting these under the dash so I can hang my harness.
