A little more getting done.
Since I got a dash cap going in, I thought about having the dash go on a diet... Drilled a few holes, it will all get covered with the dash cap...
I also started mocking up the stand alone fuse boxes (2 of them, both 8 circuits, but one is a "painless" hot rod type fuse box) and the Megajolt Jr. box.
They will a fit nicely inside the glove compartment
I had to do some cutting and fitting, but who says a race car, can't have some class!
They are all finished up & ready, but they are now out, as I am prepping the car to leave for paint on Friday...
I ended up by re-doing my main positive from my battery: It wasn't fused, and it was bugging me... Especially with the battery relocated to the back, and having that nice 1/0 wire full of +12V going through the whole car...
So I got a nice 300 amp fuse (I know that the starter current will be demanding with close to 14:1 compression...)
I got some aluminum sheet and made nice door panels
Not for the looks, but for safety: Having cut out the doors, sharp edges could be dangerous in the event of a crash.
I have put simple straps for closing the door, and made a simple string attached to the upper triangular front window mounting point with a brass pulley near the mirror anchoring point, for opening my door latch from the inside...
I bought a few airplane vents for the front windows, and got my 3/16" Lexan sheet, to make all the glass (but keeping the stock windshield)
I will probably take a week vacation after its back from paint, so I can give this little project, a boost!
