I THINK the new frames have a tab for the fuse box mount.

I was thinking lower down by the transmission mount.

If you need tabs for anything. I recommend this place. https://www.aa-mfg.com/ I have ordered from them a few times great quality you can't spend time with a grinder and drill for what they charge.

Yes, that is for the lower mount of the fuse box. I added an additional upper mount so as not to have to use the clamp and bracket.

LIke the color. I didnt prep the metal at all so the finish isnt as smooth as the chassis will be. In different light conditions it my opinion is changes from a "royal" blue color to a far more vibrant blue as i would say the picture looks below. I do agree, with the lighter color metals it looks a bit more translucent (hanger wire in picture).

I got rid of them. No need for them. Some used them to mount the ambient air temp sensor for the dash, but I just mounted mine on the center engine cover forward tab since I don't have an engine cover. The welds are thick and take a lot of grinding.

Haven't updated my build log for a while because, well, I haven't made much progress worth mentioning other than some engine clean up and painting.
I was wondering if it would cause any problems if I were to weld in and smooth out the unused engine/trans mounting holes before coating. I believe that the holes circled in red won't be used and would make for a cleaner look without them.

That's some relatively thick metal which will take a lot of heat. At the risk of warpage, I wouldn't worry about filling them in. Plus it saves weight.

Now for the bad news.
There are a lot of obvious marks and looks like deep scratches.
I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner of the coating shop yet but he said he warranties his work. Does anyone know how these can be fixed?
I dont want to start assembly til this is taken care of.
It never ends!!

Wow!! That’s bad. They will probably have to blast the frame and powercoat again. Not sure if it will be the whole chassis that get shot again, but it might be. That’s pretty bad. Powder isn’t like paint where you can just spot touch up. That’s unfortunate.

I have seen lamps like this for powder coating.

Maybe this could be used for touch up areas?
Either way I know that it would bother me to no end the way it is now. I'm just beyond ready to start assembly.

I decided to do all my wiring when I had a frame ready to accept the harness so I could better visualize how everything fit together. I am to that point now.
I have made it to the last video where the dash harness is added to the rest of the circuit. I am having a tough time at knowing exactly needs to be done. With the differences between years and options I have had to make many assumptions about what needs to be done and I am growing less and less confident that I have things done correctly.
Are there any resources with wiring diagrams or any other help?
I also have an untouched harness that i picked up off another member. As a last resort what does it take to have DF rework it for me?
Thank you!
