Would love to see the detail on where and how you run all the wiring.
I know there’s a ton of “wire tuck” videos, but I’m confident you’re “how to” would be far and above all others.
Love watching these threads. Definitely helps keep me motivated to be better and better!
 
Wheels for the notch.
Well.. I have to go back October 15th, 2016. That morning started at the Saleen Headquarters in Corona CA. Driving thru the desert on the way to Phoenix. Im checking my ebay saved searches. A set of Sterns popped up for sale. 17x8 and 17x9 in the 24/39 mm saleen offsets. They were a buy it now for $1,100 bucks and $300 shipping. Problem was they were in Russia. So I took a chance and bought them. 2 months later. The seller tells me he used the slower shipping by mistake and refunded $150 of the shipping. Then 3 weeks later..my gamble paid off. Didnt have a car at the time but they were destined to find their way on a t-top notch.

Finished the 8.8 build for the 86.
3.73 Gears, 31 spline detroit trutrac, 31 spline axles witb c clip eliminators. Strang rear 4 piston rear calipers. Took some work to get everything to work. Had to cut the axles and shorten them and mill off some caliper material to
Center the brakes. But I accomplished my goal of Saleen length at 59.5. Now Aside from some brake lines and coating the diff. Cover….its ready to go
