The only problem I see with mounting your microedge allllllll the way over there is you gotta either:
A)Have extremely long arms to change your ramp on the fly
or
B)Get out of the car and walk around anytime you want to make adjustments
I would want my progressive somewhere close within reach so if Im at the track and I see a bunch of people knocking the tires off I can change it on the fly.

Thanks
Well my rear end setup and gears only have about 300 miles on them so I am still taking it easy. I have also changed plans slightly and ordered a 15 lb bottle. The goal is to have the rest of the kit installed by this weekend minus the bottle.

Might not look like much but I actually made great progress today. Made my harness that is going to the trunk and got it all routed through the car. This consisted of removing the rear seats, rear side panel, front kick panel, and trim beside the door.
I also found the perfect place to mount my terminal strips...they will be super accessible yet hidden out of site. Very happy with this find.
Also figured out what area of the glovebox I can cut out to route the wires through.
Anyway, here are a few pictures.
Sorry about the dirty gas tank.
If you notice the tape measure in the first pic you will think I am crazy. I was putting a ziptie every 8" on the harness. I was also able to ziptie it to the factory harness inside of the car.
Although it does not look like I have made much progress at all on this thing, the hardest part is behind me. That was the planning.

seeing just the thought in this, it is going to come out both sic and perform as well.
Why you ditch the braided though? Gonna cut it close with your throttle cable or something like that?

The problem with the braided above was the hardline kit for the plate was going to interfere unless I did some ridiculous tall braided hose that would have rubbed the hood lol. I think the polished hardline will look even better when I have the other hardlines in that area.

Ahh got ya... Yeah definitely will look good with more... you gonna do as much hardline as possible?
I know that hardline is a lot more work and harder to make look good, but when you take your time it is well worth it.. as far as looks go...

Well it really is unfortunate how slow this install is going. Worked on it for a few hours today.
Had to modify my billet bottle line wingnut (cut the ends off) to make it work with the remote opener. Also had to clock the top of the opener to make it work in the trunk. Assembled the bracket and installed the rubber pieces on it to keep the bottle from getting scraped up. Also installed my new 45 degree inlet fittings on the solenoids and got the fuel solenoid mounted. Sourced some nice black allen head bolts and washers for the solenoids to brackets.
