    So between wanting to do a S-Pod, Bussman and a few other options, I decided to be frugal and build my own fuse box. After some Pull A Part rummaging, I found this donor from a 2001 Sebring (or Intrepid, been a while, I forget.)

    Seems to fit well where I have intentions to put it.

    Starting clearing away wires, saving any connectors I may be able to use.

    Worse part were finding these connectors, but with the help of @Up2NoGood, found the ones I needed to make up missing/damaged ones..

    All benched tested, just need to make a Mount for it and wire it up, along with adding connectors to all the wires in and out.

    Sweet, I like the different approach! I'll be going with a Bussman but this looks interesting.

    Was mine originally but this gave me more options and cost less than 1/4 of the price.

    Bracket is done, just need to space out the bracket away from fender due to Redline Hood Struts.. Painted it after this with POR15.
