WOW I LOVE YOUR BUILD SO FAR!!!!!

I bought the tub kit from summit - about the same like yours.

now I'm sitting in the garage and got it started.. just a quick question - did you cut out the old fender wells completely or you just cut the inner part out of the old and only "attached" the new tubs on them? I want to cut out the old wells complete. Wondering if I weld the new tubs onto the fenders... got any more pics how you did it??

I cut out the inner parts to the depth I needed, measured and cut the new tubs, then attached at the old seam to keep it looking clean... You can take out the outter tub as well, alot of guys just seam seal the new tub to the outter fender to avoid warping it

This last weekend i finished up all the engine bay wiring... ran all the 1/2 aluminum fuel line and the main power from battery... made my junction point in the 1/4 brake line on the drivers side for the hydraulic hand brake.. tidied up a bunch of other loose ends and spent a good 3/4 of a day cleaning the shop, wire mess everywhere.

i only took a few pics but ill get some more tonight.





this is after all the wiring was finished... still looks nice and clean!.. i ran the alternator wires up from the bottom and kept everything else tucked away as best i could.



and the battery in place, made a nice aluminum flat bar backing plate for the mount underneath..
