It's only a few lbs was alot of work to do but better then nothing, also it gives me a place to run the wires. I wanted the structure there to support the fenders alot of guys just cut the whole fender brace off.

Very nice build, I can't wait to see more progress. I like how well the engine bay cleaned up as well.

Where did you end up mounting the fuse blocks?

I don't see how... The wires have to be cut somewhere no weather packs to disconnect, if you move fuse boxes in the car the headlight harness has to be extended or if you do what I did they have to be extended unless you unpin them from the fuse box and I wasn't getting into that.
