A day that I have not been looking forward to the t top seal replacement. This is a car from the dry west so it should be that bad. Seals came off in a million little pieces.

I did find some cancer in the drivers side that I had to fix.

Had to make a patch panel to fix the caner in the t top well on the drivers side. Came out decent I think.

Spent some time sound deading the floor. And cleaning up the hole I cut for the shifter.

Spend a few hours in the junk yard scoping out center console ideas. Found on that fit pretty good and looks natural.

Well I decided I wanted to put the Holley ecu inside the car to make room for a battery in the engine bay. Really don't want to deal with all the NHRA rules for having a battery in the trunk. Plus the ecu isn't rated to get wet. Ended up having to drill a new hole in the firewall for all the harnesses to run through. I decided to mount the ecu in the glove box and have the main relay and fuses mounted behind the glove box.

Still cleaning up the wiring so forgive my mess.

Also I still need to mock up a new intercooler pipe to clear the battery. Going to be a tight fit! I probably have to notch the core support for the extra clearance I need.
