remote terminals will be installed in the engine compartment if i should ever need to jump someone.
or if i need power.

Why not take it a step further and install a jump plug like what tow trucks use?

Something like this: http://www.awdirect.com/polarized-s...es-w-4-leads-associated-6137/jump-start-sets/

That one's rated for 500 amps...I wish I could find something with a higher amperage rating, but even still, I tend to trust that over clamps for transmitting amperage...

What a royal pain in the ass that was.
Drill, redrill, weld in nut, grind, tap repeat.
Done for today. Dogs took off, kids being a pain in the 10.25
I need a beer

But here is the drivers side bolted in

Wow that looks good! I wish I had your welding/fabrication skills

I recently had the honor of meeting Brian, and seeing this project in person.

(Note: I've lived a sheltered life. My fab skills are limited to using JB Weld.... and I've never used it successfully! )

This is one amazing build. So much madness, all on one truck.

The ability to visualize and the skill to create, nearly all single-handedly.

The constipated artist in me is SO envious...............

I frequently shove these progress pics in my fiance's face and babble about this fancy stuff

Only thing I don't think I'll envy about this truck when "finished" is the turning radius

its the same radius as your "enterprise"
stock CC LB wheel base.

Here's hoping there's something behind the panel for the filter brackets to bolt to, not just the sheet metal...

Looking really cool tho in spite of that

Brian, did you check to see if hood spring bracket clears the coolant filter when hood is closed? Mine looked to be in about the same location & I had to move mine down for it to clear. Just a thought
