scooter99 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 No not much happened this weekend! Well non happened really! It's been a long weekend! Father's Day BBQ yesterday, Family time for father's day today, Firday was spent getting my house ready for the BBQ yesterday. Thursday I did a little something but not much really! Here's some pics. While I was waiting for my new Father's Day Present to arrive, Webber Summit S-470 BBQ, I decided to work on the Ground Distribution and Power Fuse Blocks. Some of you may remember this equipment from my Civic Build. I was going to just buy some blocks, but I decided I have these, and I'm going to need blocks for the actual build, so I might as well make some now. I need 3 spots for the actual build so that's what I put together for this as well. Check it out. Raw Aluminum and tools! Taped it up so I could draw up some dimensions. Got the power fuse block laid out Then the ground block No time to cut them out, but that's going to be a pain anyway. I'll get it done soon. I actually have a chop saw, which I think for this may be safer than a table saw, but I need to buy a metal blade for it. Then drill the holes, tap for screws, and mount it on whatever I'm going to mount it on. Then while I was waiting, I also got a ring at the door bell! Little teaser!! Got something up my sleeve for this! Muahahahahah That's all you get for now! I'll see if I can get anything done on it this week. Goodnight now! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build

scooter99 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 Yes they are. They're 1" thick, by 3" wide. Various lengths. I'm debating if I want to cut a notch out for the fuses or not. Thinking of an inlay cutout of a half inch. Then the fuses will flush mount sort of, instead of sitting on top of the block and adding another half inch of height. Course the amps are 2" tall and if I add a 1/4" piece of plexi or PVC under the blocks that'll make them 1 3/4" tall. What do you guys think. Only area it would matter would be with a trim panel. I could also skip the plexi/PVC and just use 1/2" ply and dress it up. Maybe that'd be better. Then it'll give me the same height. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
zxsonnyxz Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 GIEF! I don't dare to think of the price I would have to pay locally for this. A friend of mine got a quote for a 6x22"ish vinyl sticker at a local shop and it was $100+++. Totally unrelatet, but wtf !?!?

scooter99 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 Um ya know, I think, and it was a while ago, but I think I paid like $30.00 for all that. I got em off ebay and it was fairly reasonably priced, if I recall correctly. I'll see if I can look up the prices. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
scooter99 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 can't find the history on them, but I wanna say the big blocks were like $8.00 each, and the smaller one was like $6.00. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
Tigerboy Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 wow thats a good deal on the metal excited to see your custom fuse blocks, i was lookin forward to those before your civic got scrapped. Civic Build Trunk Build Log
scooter99 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 Ya, I'm excited to work on them too. Here's a little insight, the civic is no longer scrapped. I just don't wanna get too far ahead of myself. This build here, may get put on a little hold for a bit though. My civic is going to still be my daily driver, and what I'm looking at right now is robbing a couple things here and there from this build to go in the civic, again since it's my daily driver. I'm going to give some thought to what I wanna do and then I'll fill everyone in over there. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
