    Main patch panel in and seam sealed. That wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Seat just barley clears. All wires extended to the tcase. Cases filled with amsoil. Vinyl is flattening out. Now to just build a removable cover to the rest of the hole.

    Possibly. Let's see how much I can get done in the next couple of evenings.

    At a minimum I need to finish the floor and get the interior back together, and build a new exhaust being I cut it all off after the 1st cat. :anonymous:

    I have no idea what I'm doing so progress is slow. May just throw a piece of rubber or something over the rear hole to get me going for now.

    Chunk of rubber roof membrane would be about perfect.

    Close as I had at home. This will at least get me wheeling this weekend. Maybe not a permanent solution. :rofl:

    I would stick to the factory cams for your purpose. The negative to those setups is they make it harder to align, and you really need adjustable uppers.

    If you have problems holding alignments, drive up here and I'll weld some cam tab gussets on for ya.
