Removed the single run of red 1/0 and ran 2 sets of blue and 2 sets of black. I decided to put a D3400 under the hood to supplement the 3 D3100s in the rear.

Removed everything from the trunk when I ran the new cable and finalized some of the features. A bit out of order, but shows the removal of the spare tire bracket

Here's a wider view of the bracing and gratuitous use of PL

It fit so dang well bc of this routed rabbet/relief/bezel/whatever

At this point: 395Ah XS AGM, Singer 210A, 2 runs each +/- front to back, ANL fuse holder, and a relayed ATL fuse holder.

Brought the TV out to the driveway bc we felt like ballin like that. I was tinkering with the electrical and my buddy was playing with the TL settings.

The program is a bit finicky, but seems to give reasonable results. We'll see how accurate the program simulates in the coming weeks when I finish this box.

About to jigsaw some braces for the internals. I am still concerned with weight, so if bracing gives me a better strength to weight ratio, Im down.

Triticum has an excellent bracing thread (that should be stickied, IJS), and here I'm mixing the donut brace with the window brace. I'll have two layers per brace. Its a bit off since it was a trial run, so this is just the pattern to trace some better cuts. I picked up some new birch today to cut fresh pieces.

There are some 2x3s that I routed/rounded that will be used to brace front to back.

Thanks for checking it out guys.

Looking at these 17's for the Sonic. I'd like to run 235/40 or 45 but I really need a run-flat tire (bc no space for a spare, obv), so I'll probably end up with a 225/45.

A few months back, baby Bambi jumped in front of me while I was hauling ass thru some country backroads. Had to replace the bumper. Added stock fog lights while the bumper was off, and installed a custom grill. Theres a guy on the Sonic forum that has access to a CNC laser cutter at work and makes custom Sonic grills on the side.

Went from this:

I got some birch yesterday. (3) 3/4" 13 ply 5'x5' Russian Birch and (1) 1" 15 ply 4'x8' C2 Birch

IMG_5586.jpg

The yellow color on the 1" is some edge-coating. I need to cut off about 1/4" on that edge

We are expecting some serious rain this weekend, so I finished circ-sawing the internal braces today. I can jig-saw and rout the small pieces in the garage over the weekend

I found some 2x3 'white' boards at Home Depot. I used the 1/2" router on em:
