My semester just ended, so I've done a few things over the last week. I cleaned up my firewall engine harness. I have everything, including battery, starter, and alternator, going through the firewall by two harnesses. I'm excited about this because it will make pulling the motor in and out a breeze. Wiring on the inside of the cab is still pretty sloppy; I haven't decided how I want to mount my fuse box.


Before:




Three hours, two rolls of electrical tape, and one roll of solder later, my firewall looks... slightly less crappy...
After:






I also built my battery box tonight. I still need to make a lid for it, but it can wait...






I have a few projects this month for some customers, so I moved the truck off to the side of the garage. I realized that it hadn't been there in about 3 years, so I took a before and after shot:



In other news, I should have my new transmission next month. I have no idea what is wrong with mine, and I'm out of ideas. The truck stalls out in first and reverse, whether I'm on the gas or not. It makes moving the truck a royal pain. I'll be putting in a TH350, so I'll have to redo my tranny mount and get a new driveshaft... all of which I'm thrilled about.





Alright well, that puts me up to date with my HAMB build thread. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys and seeing what all this site has to offer!
