My DP is in with maybe a 1/4 to 3/8's of a inch clearance on both sides. It was a challenge to get this without denting the DP in. When I first started last winter I cut the pinch weld in four places with the sawzall and flattened them down. Today I pryed up the middle part of the pinch weld and cut it off, then ground it down with a grinder. I then put the porta power up there and pushed that part of the firewall in some more.

Almost, I have to finish up the IC pipes on the passenger side and put the rest of the exhaust on. Then a test drive and change the oil. I also never finished the 38 gallon rear tank but that will have to wait until we get back from our trip. Throw on an extra log up there, brrrrr, its even 'cold' down here, LOL
Not one issue Jose except for the price, LOL!

I must be about 15° colder in Texas then here. I always thought we would be about the same temp.

Going to Tucson Thursday, I probably have plenty of time to put the 38 gallon tank in but knowing me, I'll have trouble and don't want it hanging there. Besides, there is lots to do to get ready. It will be a good test run. Also, not taking the Geo, we are buying a bunch of food down there and I need to use all my refrigerators. I haven't figured out how I'm going to connect the batteries and invertor up to run them if I take off rack that holds my generators and batteries.

Got it put back together again. I'll never use saddle exhaust clamps again, only lap type band clams. It wasn't any fun getting the exhaust back on.
I started it up and could not shift it, speedo layed on 90mph, brakes lights stay on, could not rev it up, etc. It was time to go in the house before I did something I would regret later, LOL With the AFE, I feel like a 6637 traitor. At idle, it did sound more quite inside.

I'll take a good look tomorrow. As far as the speedo, maybe you have to be moving to get it to reset? Another screw up, I had the map and boost ports mounted way to high, what was I thinking, oh, I wasn't thinking. LOL

Man that thing looks good Glenn! It's really really clean looking. I'm a fan!
I'm guessing that something is unplugged under there too and the Park interlock isn't allowing you to take the thing out of Park. That should be a relatively simple fix (though it will involve standing on your head...).
