[QUOTE="captainobvious!, post: 6046121, member: 546920"] I did get started applying the fiberglass resin and mat today, and inbetween coats I was working on doing the "Big 3". For those that don't know, it entails running 3 new wires for your electrical/charging system to maximize available voltage. The runs I got done today were: (1)Battery neg to chassis ground. I found a good CLOSE spot and wire brushed the paint away and cleaned. Nice good connection. The wire was 4gauge, techflexed, and heat shrink wrapped. [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h75/soesnake/Install/InstallPics004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h75/soesnake/Install/InstallPics001.jpg[/IMG] (2) Engine block to chassis ground. Found a good spot on a mount directly bolted to the engine and ran it to the same psot as above. (3) Alternator positive to Battery positive. The cable was run and connected to the alternator post. Unfortunately that involved jacking up the car and getting to the underside of the alternator, where that post is actually accessible. It is techflexed, heatshrink wrapped and run to the battery, but NOT connected yet. I need to pick up another inline fuse to conect before the battery. I HAD one yesterday but it somehow took a walk on me...bummer.

Pulled the molds otu and will work on them when I get some time.
