2fnould's build log

OK I didn't get as much done as I would of liked to but I got out to the hardware for "T" nuts and threaded rod for the battery tie downs.

Here is the over all view:

Passenger side Batcap with the access hole cut out for the wires to run under the subfloor.

The subfloor is where I will mount the Pioneer Vehicle Dynamic Processor and other thing that you would never access on a regular basis. The the rail attached to the sub woofer enclosures will support the board that the amps will mount to.

That brings everyone up to speed, I am currently playing with carboard and duct tape again to the trim pieces that will hide the batteries and tie the installation into the interior of the car.

What is in the box?

Time to get to work.... ;)

Man I want to hear that setup so bad.. Thinking after I get all the other crap installed I will be doing a similar setup... NICE!

Wanna see all that in Indy.

I am trying.
Here is a small update, another part came in the mail today, this was custom very reasonably priced I feel as well.

It is a BUSS bar, I will be removing the battery from under the hood, so this will allow me to connect the ground wire kit to one point.

I will attach it to some ABS plastic (on order) akin to what was shown on Stealth316.

I just will not be running a ground from front to rear like Jeff did.

Here is the bar testing the fitting of all the ring terminals.

The shiny one will ground the block to the fire wall, the two open spots are for the factory wire...redundant I know but hey they are there, why not use them.

I'm glad you are being so thorough, it's looking really good.

Very impressive build.

Thank You.

I figured since this car is a weekend driver (if that) why not incorporate a built in battery maintainers?

So I came up with this:

I just used an old game cord spliced into an outlet plug.

Add two Deltran Battery Tender Jr.s

A circuit breaker to easily separate the two batteries.

End of the day, pop the hatch, lift an access panel, pop the C/B pull out the cord, close the hatch, plug the cord in and not have to worry if my batteries are fully charged or not.
