Although still far from from done, it's time for the yearly update. Been plugging away on it just haven't updated anything in quite a while.

Since the last update I have mounted the evaporator, AAW Panel, Big Stuff 3 ECM, seats, gas pedal, brake pedal, steering column and working on E-brake set up now. Using a Control Cables pedal assembly. It is mounted on the far left (normal place) Like most late model cars it is a push on/ push off function. No release handle. Looks slick and OEM style. By the time I was able to get everything packaged under the dash real estate went away real quick. I wanted to mount the coils under the dash as well - but was told to make sure I mounted them as far away from the ECM as possible (thanks Jody). Due to space constraints I was not able to locate a good spot under the dash. So after looking for alternate locations I ended up mounting them outside under the radiator cradle. Everything is only tacked. Once I take it apart the final welding will be all tigged. I will have to make my own spark plug wires and coil harnesses but no big deal. I had to run wires forward anyways for the crank trigger and fans. I will run them down low parallel with the oil pan and drop them in their appropriate locations. The cover I made to hide & protect them looks low being below the frame - but I have already mocked up the front bumper and does not come close to hanging below that. More to follow......
