lol


finally got off all the spray foam mess, and covered the foam with duct tape, was thinking to use flash band but felt it might peel off after awhile

Image

here's a pic of the AC 2nd fan mounted as mentioned awhile bk

Image

here's the horn installed, did a lil soldering and heat shrink application for install which i picked up from Audio/ICE forum

Image

wasnt sure if these horns are considered illegal in license office so i left the original horn's connector intact and also made a quick disconnect to the loud horns for when i have to go do inspection

Image



next on the list, hand brakes!!

Very impressive build and details given. When project is complete it would be great to provide details/contact info on the individuals that provided all the parts/materials/labour on this project as some of the guys said earlier in the thread.

Keep it up... Wish alot of people take pride in what they do as you clearly doing here.
