That looks great.very professional. Do all those switches operate something? You have plenty of space to add more, if you can possibly think of anything else. Lol.

spliced in new injector plugs, pulled the extension housing off of the t-case to install a new oil seal in it and found that the snap ring that held the mainshaft and rear bearing in place was broken so I replaced that and the seal.

That's a real nice panel on the Karbon machine.

Well the Peep (frankenpeep) never made it to finish today.
Things started out really swell, exhaust inlet repaired, whole system back in and hung well and straight.
Next on to new gas tank hangers, hangers are prepped, tank is ready.....hey what's that noise?
OMFG a total infestation of IN-LAWS! Well now come all those comments you see on the "things not to say" thread.
One tries to help and knocks the tank over, it's been sittin in the same spot for 2 weeks no problems but bang it's down in 2 min. flat. Sister in law is somehow now covered with paint.
A mans garage is no more a sanctuary. Nephew is playing with all my aligned and sorted fasteners like a bag of marbles. Oh oh, now he is going for the hammer, time to close up shop and herd em all into the kitchen, the food and beer is what they really came to see.
Yes here is some wd40 to get the paint off. Sorry I somehow didn't tell you anything black could still be wet.
Just have to make the best of it any carry on another day, was gettin thirsty anyway.

Funny thing is, I used to do the same thing! But that was over 8 years ago. And I had just gotten done with a full day's worth of yard work that wore me out! LOL (in 100+ degree heat too)

Nothing hooked up yet so its a work in progress. Should end up with one for the cooling fan, front grill lights, roof light bar, rear lights, and ??? Yeah, there's enough room to add. I was going to add a usb charger and maybe an aux. imput when I can get a chance. I'm planning on fabbing everything I add. I love making stuff so my big project is going to be the front and rear bumpers.
