Re: Frankentruck

Finally went and got a screw so I could mount the relays instead of just letting them hang. Because the harness required the relays to be close to the battery without any modifications of the harness, I wanted then to stay out of sight for a more stock appearance. Under this panel, I don't know what it is called, was the perfect place to hide it while still keeping the relays easily accessible.
The lights are definitely much brighter now, but I think they need to be aimed better than what they are at.

When I switched from the 2 barrel to the 4 barrel, I had to lose the old air filter housing. Made me sad, but I wanted to drive the truck. In my quest to make under the hood still appear somewhat stock ish, I want to go back to the original housing. Any ideas on how to make it work?
