Purplehaze Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Looking great! I'll keep checkin in, looks like you are making good progress on the whole car! I just had the low speed side of my fan go out, so seeing your pics of the fan help. I want to do the 2 radiator and the 2 heater hoses and replace the thermostat while I'm at it too. I like your home-made intake too. Looks like it fits great and makes space for your batts. Not sure if you are interested, but Borla is selling off the last of the Mopar branded dual exhaust systems they made for PTs for ~$350 shipped on ebay. Thats half price! I just ordered one. Hey man, thanks! Yeah, I am really happy with the intake, it fits perfect! Makes plenty of room for batts and such.... Yeah that's how my fan did as well, one speed quit, so I just put a switch on it for a while. Then the other speed went out a couple of weeks ago, so it was time for a new one. I'm gonna replace the hoses and radiator eventually too, just one step at a time I guess. Oh and thanks for the heads up on that exhaust, I checked it out. That is a really good deal, I may try to snatch one up if I can. As for today, I didn't do much. It was raining and shitty out, so I just fooled around with my buss bars a little. Got them cut and drilled, here are the pics. Test fit Perfect! Now I just gotta polish them up, and get some bolts. Then it's on to the volt meter/ circuit breaker battery hold down piece.... not sure what to call it lol! More tomorrow hopefully!

Purplehaze Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Damn man, nice progress. Loving all of it. Keep it up, im watching for sure!!! Thanks man, I'm getting ready to polish up these buss bars now, I only have a couple of days left to finish this project. It's supposed to be at my buddies garage on Tuesday for that suspension overhaul I've been talking about for a while now. I can't wait to get that done! Cause then it will finally be time to get back to the fun parts: doors, dash, and wall! My goal is to have the interior finished completely within 6 weeks, before Slamology. Let's see if we can get it done!

Purplehaze Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Okay so I finally got my front battery setup finished, at least for the moment. I'll probably re-do the top piece later on, but for now this will work. First was to polish up the bus bars, and get some bolts and nuts. The one on the left has not been polished. Here they are finished, with stainless bolts and nuts Not perfect, but it will do. So now for the batt. hold down/ volt meter. Top side all glassed up And bottom Wait there is more...

Purplehaze Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 So now for some body filler Now to make the base hold the mounting bars... Just drilled an angled hole in the bottom, so the j hook could lock in. Like this Making it smooth.... Well, I didn't test fit it till after I painted, MISTAKE! Can you see what's wrong with this picture? Couple of things... The j bolts don't quite reach... And my body work sucks ass! Gotta fix it! How about some wiring? Also, check out the way I kept the j bolts from falling out So I decided to just drill out the holes for the j bolts, and try to wrap it in this cf vinyl I had laying around. It works for the time being, like I said, I will probably re-do later. BAM! There she is, looks beastly to me! Way better than the strap... The empty space is for my fuses from front to back. There will be 3 runs of each. And now I have plenty of room for it! Next up: Dampliefier!

scooter99 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wow Haze! Those turned out really nice, not that I had any doubt, but they are very nice looking bars. Nice set up up front! I wish I could fit two big batts up front. Very nicely done! Looking clean! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
