up, 1/8" is a little overkill...1/16" would have been enough, but who am I to talk about overbuilding? :smokin:

Can't see it being a problem.

1 - It is in a well vented area.
2 - NHRA does not even have any rules about keeping them separate. They mandate having the battery in a battery box, but that is not for gas fumes as those boxes are vented anyway. Their only rule is you have to have a firewall separating the battery and fuel cell from the passenger compartment, which I have.
3 - Fawk it, I wanted it back there for better weight distribution :flipoff:

What size tube did you use for the rear swaybar mount?
I can't seem to find anything suitable that isn't stupid expensive.

It's regular 2 3/4 x .120 wall HREW. The 2.5" swaybar bushings will fit.

Being on the back and as high up as it is, figured it would not take any real hard hits. If your going front, I would go DOM though...

Do you mean 1 3/4" for the 1.5" bushings?
I only see 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75 bushings on their website.

I was getting prices in the $20 per foot for 2" x .250 wall, sounds a little steep to me.

Duh, Yes.. Dyslexia


Would not surprise me. My lower links are 2" .375 wall and it was $16.00 a foot before the price jump in steel.

Have been doing a bunch of little crap lately.

Brake lines are done
Fuel Lines are done
Battery cables to front done
KRC Shifter installed

But I figured the dash was worth a Pic. Got my new gauges installed.

Cash is scarce, so I went with Summit's Guages.

Only thing left to install on the dash is a new panel from 12Volt guy. Should arrive in another week.

I also shipped out the wiring harness for the 5.3 to Wait for Me Performance, Should get that in about 3 weeks.

The transmission should also be done Tuesday, so there will be lots of work to do when I get that :smokin::smokin:

 

[Dirk]

Nice clean dash. I like.

 

[Farm Boy]

Looking good man. :smokin:

You got enough room for your fingers between the shifter and the dash?
Looks a little tight to me.

Yup, Made sure it all felt comfortable when Strapped into my seat.

Important thing is how fast I can shift between R and 1
