By profession I am an auto insurance/collision research specialist. In other words, I spend a lot of time looking at crashed and burned vehicles from around the country. We search, research and try to determine defects that lead to fires, brake, steering...and yes...UNWANTED (can you say Toyota) acceleration failures.
Anyway - I see the worst of the worst and it tends to color my view of things.
As said - there is no perfect place to put the battery cable. Looking for the best of all possible bad places.
I got the loop today. It is a bolt up universal piece. It looks like it has a good area to go in but have to wait on the driveshaft. I do want to weld the two halves up when I'm satisfied. Ordered a new X pipe center section so we can rebuild the exhaust. Local shop doesn't want to build copies of the pieces that were damaged off the car.
