Final Installation Part 5

 I have been working every weekend over the last few months finalizing electrical

Finished all main electrical, Switches, and dash

Changed the Dash arrangement, again, to support a double D steering wheel

Now work starts on the body and the doors

Created a body jig to be able to raise and lower the body easily

I can adjust the body by my self or with another person makes it easy to manipulate the body

With the body on, I'm finally able to verify the firewall fitment edge to edge

I have about a 1/16th inch gap between the firewall and the body

I bought a thin rubber trim for panels and thought it was going to be to thin but will work perfectly

With the body down and flush my wheels are nicely centered in the wheel wells with no adjustment

Also had first drive today, my dad wanted one also so I videoed him

Final Installation Part 4

 Worked on the Dash Design

Added the switches for Parking Brake and Reverse with LED to tell when fully engaged

Added the Dual Cold Air Intake with MAF sensor

I got 2 of the MAF tubes for symmetry, used a block off plate on the passenger side one

Final Installation Part 3

For the last 4 Months I have been Finalizing the wiring

It takes awhile to fine tune wiring and make sure everything is connected properly

I went through 3 different Linear Actuators for the Reverse Switch

This is the 35 lb Progressive Automation Actuator for Reverse Gear

Starter DEI Wrap and the Oil Temperature Sensor

Now that the Wiring is finished I am starting the dash and console configuration

Initial dash and center console mounting

I initially wanted to mount my 7" Reverse Camera Screen below the air vents with my radio mounted vertically but the radio is to wide to fit

Changed the radio to mount below the air vents

As you might have noticed above, I created a bracket for my 7" AEM Digital Dash

This is the second version, the wings on either side are for my 4.3" screens

They will hold 2 screens with 2 inputs, 1 is always on but the second is primary when active

Final Installation Part 2

Finished the Driver and Passenger Cain Panel Installation

Each panel is backed with Second Skin Heat Shield to keep the cabin cool

Second Skin Heat Shield Installed on the back of the Fuel Tanks as well as all around the panels in the Engine bay
