Thanks. I fabbed it myself. I get bored and start playing around
I have no idea what it would cost. Probably kinda pricey at a shop. None of it is terribly difficult but it can be time consuming depending on how far you want to take it. I also relocated the pcm and rewired/relocated/deleted a bunch of wiring at the same time.

You can see what that did for the engine bay as far as room/access, etc.

Nice. I tried to get in on the welding class at my union hall but it's only for journeymen

Hopefully one day I can have fab skills like that. I started taking stuff out of my wiring harness but man that **** confuses me

Mia that's a light looking setup but can you even lean over on that to work on it without worrying about it all shifting?
