[QUOTE="FlatlandFSJ, post: 478006, member: 8507"] Couple more updates. Getting close to halfway through my pictures. Should start getting a little more detailed now, I think this is when i started figuring out how to take pictures of what I was doing. Couple pieces of angle and an old bolt from the bin, these become the mounts for the panel that holds all the electrical goodies [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140409_121104_zpsud8lkmrc.jpg[/IMG] The bracket above mounts upside down to the inside of the dash frame with the bolt hanging down, couple piece of all-thread make up the rear mounts. I later swapped the piece of birch cabinet material out for a piece of emdf.Not sure if this is the technical term for it, but this is more or less a exterior grade MDF that has started making its way into the high end remodels down here on the beach. It holds up awesome outside and sheds water like a mofo. Yes..all the tabs are different...it happens :wtflol: [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140409_124117_zpshmvryts5.jpg[/IMG] The idea behind this board is that I can make up a full spare and plug and play it if the first one starts having issues. Wing nuts took the place of the nuts holding it up.Takes maybe 5 minutes for me to pull the board with it fully wired with nothing more then a small allen wrench for the bussbar connections. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140409_124125_zpssl0f9heq.jpg[/IMG] Hit the scrap bin for something to get the hood latched, old ubolts are what I ended up using. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140414_123118_zpsbbfrnzpb.jpg[/IMG] Drilled a couple holes [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140414_123130_zpsqxb8szmf.jpg[/IMG] Dropped the "pin" through the hole, put 4 tacks on it then burnt it in with the hood open. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140414_123140_zpsqumcb5hd.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-04/IMG_20140414_125539_zps3qkwxu6b.jpg[/IMG] Still working on getting the other half of them done, I need to attach a base that i can rivet/or bolt to the hood to the ass end of a .50 shell. [IMG]http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l135/dillonsrb/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-07/IMG_20140706_163252_zpsw8blqd5k.jpg[/IMG] I've never brazed a thing before, any other options or do I need to go figure out how to braze? And yes my pictures are huge, Ill clean it all up and resize them once I get the thread to where I am now [/QUOTE]
