[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 727920, member: 5925"] Got a few things done... Mostly little things but everything takes forever so that's normal I guess... - Mounted the trans cooler, battery and cutoff switch (I'll drill speed holes and remove the battery handle at some point) [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/10yVyBS/IMG-8007.jpg[/IMG] - Traded my Atlas from a 4.3 to a 3.0 (had to change input shaft) [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/t2JTxX1/IMG-7943.jpg[/IMG] - Mounted and plumbed the accusump [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/kGK9n33/IMG-7976.jpg[/IMG] - Swapped the fuel rail to a returnless version (no pic) - Installed a LS1 dipstick and gauge to fit my Mast Motorsports pan (no pic) - Slotted the fancy adapter because it's not made for pass drop and a hole wasn't lining up. I will change it at some point and already have some ideas on how to gain weight on the crossmember/seat mounts [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/s9wRmPz/IMG-8047.jpg[/IMG] Started on the harness mounts (T-Case side is super tight, you have to clock the eyelet flat to remove it) : [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/db0rp4w/IMG-8176.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/yB5xKRH/IMG-8175.jpg[/IMG] - found some creative wiring for the trans gage [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/6m8kTDN/IMG-8069.jpg[/IMG] - Plumbed the trans cooler (lines are upside down in the pic, has been corrected since) [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/nQ9d4Kp/IMG-E8187.jpg[/IMG] Installed some speakers and high lift (I know, very important !) [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/Jk4hfvL/IMG-8054.jpg[/IMG] Started brainstorming on the winch mount : [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/c6c2qMj/IMG-8114.jpg[/IMG] - Dropped the trans to cut the bellhousing (cracked) and I'm waiting for an ultrabell to show up [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/wQ4RvyN/IMG-8190.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/X2cNbmk/IMG-8193.jpg[/IMG] Had a few **** ups too, especially that time when I made a bracket for the power steering reservoir but I welded it as a mirror image of what I wanted so it wouldn't fit the correct side of the buggy laughing1 As an industrial engineer in the automotive world, I can appreciate how well a vehicle goes together on a production line especially seeing how inefficient this buggy building process is. That's all for now... [/QUOTE]
