Slick:Wow1: install Sponge! Looks nice!
I thought it turned out pretty good. I should have mounted the amp higher, it would have made better use of the area behind the seat. I'm going to mount my first aid kit in the upper left corner.
I'm thinking about putting a piece on the driver's side to hold an inverter and maybe a 12 gauge boom stick:victory: I'll use a lighter gauge steel if I do, 18 gauge was a bit heavier than needed.

I will be very interested to see what you buy for an inverter. I am in the market for a new one for myself and have seen prices around $300 for a 1200 watt sine wave clean inverter that you can use for electronics at canuck tire. Keep me informed as to which way you go. Cheers, Chilli...:wings:
It's been a rainy weekend so I got the transmission pan on. I had to radius the front a bit more to fit around the bellhousing cover. They also supplied SAE bolts that were too short for the filter. I had to use M6 that were a bit longer.
Also changed the engine oil today and welded the pinion guard for the 14bolt FF.
I was going to do some sandblasting, so I could powdercoat this weekend, but the sandblasting unit was not working.

Ordered rear shock tower braces from ORD. On of my rear shocks had cracked the frame somewhere along the last 35 years and was repaired with the weld a washer on method! So I figure this was a worthwhile upgrade. I got the sandblasted at work going again so I will clean them up a bit better and powdercoat them. They would be fine to paint but that's not what I do.
Brace $37 US
Shipping $34 US
Customs about $10 US
Mail order building a vehicle in Canada sucks....

I use if for everything: stereo, nav, data/internet, dash camera, fm and tv tuner.
My stereo was replaced with this little gem.........................

I was thinking of filling the space where the A/C vent goes, I don't have A/C and doing the same thing. What's the knob on the right?

Looks like good reading material prior to rebuilding a 14 bolt.
The urge to get this out of the yard and in the truck is growing....
