Here is where it's at today.

I picked up some cutting wheels today to finish fitting the pass side pan. Here are a couple links for those interested in the non-weld method of installing patch panels.

I'm not sure which product I'll use yet. The 3M is about $50 a set. the SEM is just over $30. I think the same gun will work for either one and both products are available at the local auto part store. The biggest regret I have is that I could have/should have done this months ago. The adhesive needs temps above 70 F to cure and well, I'm in MN and its about 28 outside right now and my garage is not heated. I have a portable heater and I'll probably use that with some kind of tent over the cab to contain the heat. Redneck curing oven.
