Finally finished the brake lines, though I need some nice billet spacers to keep the 3 lines equidistant. It was my first attempt at making my own lines and it turned out pretty well all things considered.

I'm setting up power buss bars and ground bars at 4 locations; At the radiator support, dash, back seat area and trunk. I'll use the wiring from the new wiring harness to trigger relays on the electric motors rather than having them power the motors with longer runs.

I'm mounting the battery in the trunk and running a Ford solenoid to the starter so that the rest of car can run off circuit breakers and the starter cable will only have power during cranking. So the red 1/0 gauge wire you see is the starter wire and the two 4/0 gauge red wires feed the front and back buss bars through two 300 Amp circuit breakers.

It's been a while since I have updates so I'll throw a bunch of stuff out there to get it back up to speed.


The custom pulley system turned out great. Many thanks to Luhn Performance for their hard work and expertise.

Just got started on the rear seat delete design. I'm building a metal frame to have a platform where the rear seats used to be and will have an upholstered panel that mounted on a piano hinge to provide access to the rear mounted fuse box and storage.

Finishing up the hard fuel lines by mounting with stainless clips mounted to rivnuts under the car and at each end using bulkhead connectors. I made a couple of aluminum bulkhead mounts for the under car lines. The lines shown are aluminum but they are just mockup versions that will be used as templates.. The actual lines going under the car will be made from 1/2 Stainless

I had a couple of 1/8" aluminum panels made to hide electrical wires and AC hoses.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm definitely not a professional so it's nice to hear.
