Lots of great ideas guys. I appreciate it!
Tony you haven't experienced engine whine in the radio or Vince there's no issue with the extended wires? I considered those options as I want to keep the box out of the way yet accessible to program which is why I was going the tunnel route but it's somewhat in the way too as I want to make the tunnel removable. I've come to decision paralysis as I'm also trying to think ahead for if/when the turbo LS motor goes in. I'm now contemplating whether to finish the tunnel now or way until I can mock up an LS. I have the winter to figure it out but want to be ready for spring. Dual purpose cars are more complicated than I thought. Even more respect for the guys making it work.
