One of my E-Bay scores....GM LS1 VORTEC PCM MOUNTING BRACKET


And after doing some reading, I decide to go with C-West voltage stabilizer over the NRG unit:


Also Tsunami battery ends:
This images is larger than 153600 bytes. Click to view.

The box truck e-brake lever also showed:


It is going to work perfect:


And last, but definitely not least...Tom's Digital Aux gauges showed up as well:

I keep stocking your page, but never commenting. I guess I probably should. I'm pretty excited to see what you are planning. Looks like you have a lot of goodies up your sleeve. Every time I buy something new for my car my wife sighs and tells me how it's going to be "too full of gadgets." I'm not sure that's possible. I need to show her your page. I can't wait to see it all come together. Keep it up, you're going at a great pace.

Thanks...not sure if this will help. Told my wife that I could put this amount and more into another new car like her Infiniti G37s...instead I will spend less than what we spent on her car and I get exactly what I want! When I am done, I want someone to walk over to my car in a parking lot and be very confused. What I mean by that is that I want it to look like...inside and out like a new 2013 vehicle created by Ponitac with all the correct badges...

Would this be going too far with the "Gadgets"?

Would be nice to actually see these parts on a car instead of just pictures off of web sites. Do you have any actual build pictures?

I thought I would share $30 dollars of learning with everyone to make this a very easy endeavor for everyone.

Here is part I...Taking apart the box e-brake lever:

Understand that I broke back the bottom edges of the aluminum button to make it easier to show yall a better shot...no needed...so don't




Once you get a little separation in first the outer and then the inner housing (side closest to the button)

Then place a metal bar to the bottom (opposite button) and strike with a hammer a few times to knock the button and screw assembly up through the shaft and free....not damaging the button ...which cosmetically the only piece we don't want to mess up...the remainder of the finished product will be covered by a leather boot!

Part II will follow shortly!

UPDATE:

Also received the driver's side rebuilt motor...so prepping the buckets:



Passenger side will be here in a day or two...will finish the other side then


Going to start with a set of these to start...because they were such a good price from member, "gtxbullet"


But will eventually replace for these:
