Still plugging away slowly on the electrical, have most of my battery cables made now. Have B+ power up to where the stock battery location is. Test fitted the main dash harness. Got the rear harness in and routed, still have to solder all the rear connections. Waiting for some Packard connectors so I run the DSE wires through the main bulkhead (need 1 male series 59 and they are hard to find only place I could find them was terminal supply co).
Got to thinking I have all these relays for fans, and head lights as well as a bunch of fuses for same and I want to use fuses for the main B+ line for the AAW engine harness as well as the Alternator instead of fusible links. Basically a bunch of fuses and relays. I already hid my MSD ignition and Spal fan controller in the front corner (passenger side) near the stock battery location. There was just enough space between them and the radiator to stick all this stuff. But since I am trying to hide all the electrical and routing it around the inner fenders I figured I would hide all these fuses and relays in a box.
First I found this for my fuse requirements:

I was needing something that could handle 150amps for my alternator, as well as going down to 30amp fuses for a bunch of relays and ignition etc. Even has a negative bus bar as well. Can handle 6x ATO (1-30A) fuses and 4x MIDI (30-200A) fuses, perfect for my application.
This is what I have so far:
Able to pack quite a lot in a small package. Basically the big 2gauge red at the far left feeds the main fuse box, the other 2 gauge is fused at 150amp for alternator input, black 2 gauge feeds the negative bus bar. I have a 60amp fuse for the main B+ line of the AAW engine harness, 30amp MIDI fuse for the MSD ignition. One 30amp fuse for the headlight relays and 2x 30amp fuses for the electric fans. Still have room for 4 more fuses for expandability in the future.
I'll end up painting the box black and should hopefully disappear on the radiator support. I'll make some stand-offs out of 1" aluminum round stock to mount the box:
Also put some metri-pack connectors on the low current wires so I can pull the box easily if needed.
