I can run with those dogs.
 
As I sit here cleaning up my dining room table that I've taken over, I marvel in the amount of tools needed to assemble just ONE of these. And this doesn't show the hydraulic crimper for the Battery cables. I guarantee you guys, each one of these is a labor of love. All of the Mounts have been assembled and ready to be laser etched as I get the artwork redone. Right now I've only finished one artwork. :(

Good Lord. I should probably drop coin on this before purchasing my lid for my FEM and other such items. I get a sneaking suspicion once you finish these you're not going to be making them due to the labor involved.

Labor is only one issue but I enjoy this kind of stuff. But I stop making these after the first ten or so because each one is a loss but I can't bare watching all of these components go to waste. The money was already spent :doh:
 
You da man! Looks awesome, thanks!
 
I still need one of these and most of your other stuff. Only lagging due to vet bills. Also, my dad just got an 80 and I've convinced him that he needs... well... all of your stuff.

No worries. I'm regurlarly stocking nearly everything now. I have bigger things planned ;)

Take care of the doggies :beer:
 
Amazing work sir! Can not wait to get mine installed...but I am in no rush; take your time as this would only be another project in a box waiting in line for my attention. Time disappears, and I have no clue where it goes...
 
Ok guys, the last piece of this is indeed the 1/0 routing. I know the way I wanted to route the cable but its turning out not be a very efficient way to go. I wanted to rout the cables to the back of the battery tray and have them follow the same path as the existing ground cables to the battery. But in doing so it means that some cutting of the battery tray is necessary. I did it on mine but there is a substantial portion that needs to be cut to have the cable routed and I really don't like having to chop up the battery box. This means bringing the 1/0 up to the battery from the front which aesthetically is unappealing but gets the job done. The other cable can be routing on the side of the battery tray to the block. Thoughts before I start chopping cable?
