Mark, plans would be great. I'm sure others would like to one too. I'm currently trying to figure out the V-belt pulley system i'll need to slow down my old Craftsman bandsaw to run as a metal cutter. This would make a great project for the next tool.

Thanks,
Robert

Hey Guys, back with a couple shots of the interior.

We had family in town last week, so I put the dash,console and cover in place and just set the seats in there so they could see it mostly together.

I will need to get carpet yet and start on the wiring and fuel lines.

Thank You Everyone for the compliments!!

I really wanted this to be "outside the box" kind of interior.

UPDATE:
So I'm finallyback with an update.
Here a several shots of the engine harness being laid out, and finally installed.

Most of the harness is hidden under the intake.
And injectors are facing inward to hide the plugs.
The last shot is of the Deutch connectors the go through the firewall.
They are a twist lock style.

So basically If the engine needed to come out you simply remove connectors from firewall and motor can come out without removing and wires!.

Mark.
