I may post some pics later. Somewhat of a clean install though I know people would have something to say and they would of done it XX way, but i would of done it different a little bit too as an afterthought. Sort of one of those, measure twice - cut once afterthoughts. The interior portion of the install I hurt my shoulder and elbow on after the install........I'm still patting myself on the back for the cleanliness of the gauges/switches/lights - that's how I got hurt
. What's good, IMO it looks a bit better than the mishmash of things I've seen some people do.
Under the hood some wouldn't agree how I built it, but space was limited so I had to make a central install location for all required parts, real estate was limited to nothing on the fender wells, firewall etc. So I utilized the dead space in the middle of the engine compartment over the transmission and made a brace going from the top radiator support to the firewall and mounted everything on that. The support was made from recycled aluminum square tube that used to be a projector screen mount.
Oh, did I mention I've got 500+ miles on it already - knock on wood A LOT - no problems yet. I hope I didn't jinx myself.
