OK I borrowed my sisters digital camera today to get some updated pics for you guys. I also got the second IC tube finished except for one small part on it, but I could at least test mount it to see how it fits tongiht.
We decided to up the pipe size to 3 inch tube from the 2 1/2 tube I used last year. Since we did this we hade to modify a few things. First off the engine fuse box had to be moved. Instead of moving it into the fender like Gaston I put it where my batter once stood. I really want the chrome fuse box cover for it. By moving it here I was able to hide the rest of the wiring in the fender. Here a few shots of the braket and relocated box.
First off we had to weld on a new lower support bracket, I reused the 2 existing side mounting holes to mount it tot he side wall. We used special plugs in hte metal cause it was so thin, it was kinda like a rivit with threads for a bolt to grab, hard to explain.
When I drilled the holes for the botls in the side wall, the drill bit pulled itself through and went right through my washer fluid bottle, you know when you finally get through the metal and the drill bit screws itself into the metal, couldn't stop it, but on the second hole I drilled slower and let it just barely cut through so Ic ould control it better, I will either repair this bottle or just get a new one. Its fine for now, just can't fill it up all the way, but its not like I need a lot of fluid in the summer.
