No plans is right, bud. Just visions in my head...
Getting the engine cover servicable will be good as well as finishing up the left front wheel well and rear floors. The tank is still here at work. My welder is picking away at it. He only gets the time to do the work during his breaks so it is taking a while.
I am starting to think about wiring. The gauges and rewiring the fuel sender and rear mounted battery are the biggest jobs. Most of the dash harness from the '98 will get reused for light switches and such. I'll be stripping all of the unnecessary stuff like airbag wiring out of it though.
Designing the shifter mounting, console and seat brackets is pretty high on the list of things to do. I have mocked a lot of this stuff up prior to this but, now that the doghouse is roughed in, I can get serious. The big issue with all of this is quick and easy removal of the doghouse. I will probably end up with a snap in cover between the doghouse and console.
Just some of the things to think about. This is one of those projects that can eat you alive if you don't do things in stages...
