All of the bolts are tight and the brackets can't swivel. However, since the brackets are so close together I need to put a
washer behind one of them so the brackets can be flat. In the rare occasion that I have a passenger in the back seat I was
worried about them bumping the bracket. On a side note you will have to be one hell of a contortionist to get back there.

Here is a side shot of what it looks like and I am open to your advice as I this is all new to me.

Thanks for the side pic. That is all wrong and it will never be perfect but it can be better.

Turn the harness bar around so the welded tabs are on the back side but still pointed down. Then bolt the harnesses on the back side. I would consider bolting them on with the angle going forward even, assuming it will fit that way.

Side bar. Nobody you like should be sitting in that back seat with that harness bar there.

Definitely and exciting day, Marty! I'm happy for you! It looks great rolling down the driveway on it's own power! :thumbsup:

CONGRATS MARTY!!!!

Next time you need to fill up the cooling system on an LS, keep the top hose loose and fill from it, it will ensure you get the entire block full with hardly any air left in the system. It also bypasses the thermostat so filling is much quicker. Basically the same idea as pulling the thermostat housing from a SBC/BBC and filling the cooling system from the thermostat hole in the intake. Makes a huge difference in the end.

Get some smiles per mile son, you deserve it!!:trophy-1302:

Morning Donny,

I will flip it around this weekend and thank you for catching this I really appreciate it.

ps I looked back at old pictures and it was on the way you explained.

Hi Jeff,

Funny thing I was going to call you the other day to see how you were doing and I will give that a try next time.

Not many as I have had so much going on the last couple weeks. Hopefully next week I will be back on the car after work.

ps I have gone out and done small things when I can find an hour here or there.

Post Sema Fatigue (( 11-04-23 ))

Rule #1 Don't go to Sema when you are building a car that may or may not go back to Sema. Why, Because you are going to see some really cool stuff.
