[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16627447, member: 70025"] Hello everyone, Well, it was a 3 day weekend. I did get a lot accomplished, but took some time off on Monday to cookout and spend some time with my family. I did make a plan and try to execute it. I'm still waiting on my clutch from McLeod and I'm waiting on a dial indicator tool so I can get my bellhousing centricity measured. American Powertrain says the center line of the transmission can only be off by .005 in order to avoid side load on the input shaft which will cause damage to the transmission down the road. Time to watch videos on how to get this done and how to measure for my hydraulic throw-out bearing once the transmission is matted to the block. More first time stuff for me LOL. Here is what I got done on Saturday. Focused on wiring and cleaning up the Raptor liner after the painting process. Okay, here I taped up the underside of the firewall to prepare for mounting my grommet and to prepare for cleaning up the Raptor liner. [ATTACH=full]1705884[/ATTACH] Got my grommets marked out. Time to drill into this fresh paint. :eek:.... [ATTACH=full]1705906[/ATTACH] Okay I couldn't bare to show the drilled paint, so here are the end results LOL. [ATTACH=full]1705917[/ATTACH] Some of you may be asking why so many? Well, I need to run my EFI wiring harness to the ECU. I need to run my alternator power/charging cable. I need to run my starter cable and solenoid wire. I need to run my coil wires, my gauge wires and my 02 sensor wires. So, there's a lot that needs to go through here. [ATTACH=full]1705920[/ATTACH] I checked this area while the engine and transmission were in. There is plenty of clearance in this area, which will allow me to run the wiring in here clean and without hitting anything. [ATTACH=full]1705921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1705922[/ATTACH] This is what it looks like from inside the car. The areas where the screws come through are way up under the dash and now they can be used to hold the carpet in place. [ATTACH=full]1705923[/ATTACH] Here you can see the area where some over spray made it on to the Raptor liner and an area that was missed completely. [ATTACH=full]1705924[/ATTACH] So, I purchased an aerosole can of Raptor liner and touched up the overspray/exposed areas. [ATTACH=full]1705925[/ATTACH] All is well now LOL.
