      The battery home

      Good point Don, battery would be exposed to excessive heat between the radiator and motor.
      I don't see a reflash needed, whatever that means-gonna contact a mobile key programmer stop in.
      I want to keep the VATS, shall use the door locks and the alarm system. Good for insurance too.

      Decided to do some more cutting of the RF wheel well some just enough to accommodate a battery into front corner.
      Don't believe the tire bounce would get very close.
      Well I had looked at the BCM before and just assumed a plug wasn't needed in that one spot-it was slung up...connected and now the motor turns over.

      Windshield cowl trim

      This is the general idea at the base and shall use the longer or taller coupe windshield
      will about reach the cowl trim lips. At the rear edge of stock flat hood I'm using nearly
      follows the curve of trim, I'll have to make a transition metal trim piece out of the
      GTO hood. Comes next as I finish the front upper header and lower valance.
      Those two holes are for the GTO wiper posts.

      Homemade spoiler will have the o/h cabin light and shoulder belt mounts.

      Want to wrap spoiler with something like the RC airplane wing fuselage material, hide my cruddy welding-hah! The vertical supports will be hidden with panels.

      Made out of the side 'B' pillars and roof support from GTO and in itself could support a mild roll but with only 4 aluminum dzus fasteners attaching to plates I wouldn't depend on it with top down; top mechanism up there's more support if something serious. Main purpose to use the shoulder belt mounts and interior light.

      Running motor and drivetrain

      Motor/trans out of wrecked 04 GTO the MAF sensor and the IAC valve quit. New MAF now runs right, waiting for the IAC but running good so far.

      All play to me as when I was a kid playing with not just models but 'making' my own things such as a with an erector set at probably 8 yrs old, wittling wood and leather later, and after I altered my bicycle with gears, kept my mini bike going, lots of little things I learned to manipulate. Chip Foose and and Kindigit I admire cause they can draw, and design, and work things though I haven't seen Dave do much but eat and drink but I like him, and anything they do some of us can do or more..just so few are on TV.

      Trunk lid sits perfect. Both quarters and supports, gutters were replaced.

      The convertible has 3 layers of steel sandwiched along the side opening's of the trunk, the quarter on the top, gutters circling the trunk and then under are the 12g supports extending most of quarter and another piece side to side in front of trunk opening. This all has to be mocked very precise all together.

      68 rear tail panel

      Like the 67 taillights and the 69 back up lamps, ridetech billet gas fill but as of now the GTO tank is in trunk plumbed temporarily though may be semi permanent as I can run the tailpipes straight out..hmmm. Body touch ups needed.

      1/1/2021: Driving on local streets today

      Like the rack steering feel(Flaming River with LS1 pump restricted to approx 850psi); trans rebuild went well; bit tough hydraulic clutch with a SPEC1; C5 brakes are super, had drums all way around all these years;shall use same size rims tires in rear.

      Swap out the rearend 1 1/4”studs for longer 1 3/4” to mount the Boyd wheels. Acorn bullet nuts and compared to say the old mag wheels well those lug nuts spaced inside of the wheels so you didn’t need to change the studs on those old mag wheels.

      4” fog lights shine white with pvc housing and chrome trim rings. Use a relay to control the live side as the lights are grounded thru brackets and wire harness controls ground side of all lighting from GTO. [attach=config]185589[/attach

      [size=been kicking around what style transition filler panel and decided to do just a simple smooth fill panel between the hood and dash. Name:  45EBE82E-0C1D-4DD8-A25E-7E5283B7C318.jpg

      Painted, running.

      Have left: glass, door assembly’s, top and trim, GPS/radio/speakers, alignment, sagging leaf, cover spoiler etc. Eventually will install regular tank with pwm pump, ditch GTO tank sitting in trunk.
