With the top down that space is FULL, completely useless for anything but storing the top.GaPonyFarm said:That looks pretty good... I hadn't seen the starter solenoid mounted in the trunk before, on a mustang. What do you plan on doing with the space behind that panel? Is it lost, or are you mounting subs, or something else in the space.

I decided to try and clean up the engine compartment by elimintating much of the wiring, so moving the soleniod seemed easy and effective.
I can always put speakers in there later, but with the top down (and my ehxaust) I wont be able to hear much. I'm probaly going to roll this machine out without any functional sound system at all anyhow. Just the sweet music of the built 357 to sooth myself

One more step towards completion, getting the basics and foundation of the electrical system installed.

J/K I thought you were gonna post that you added some neon lights to go with your headlights
Don't know if you are interested, but on mine I didn't like the way the solenoid looked, or the way the cables looked coming off it. So, someone suggested using a solenoid from an early 80s Mustang. All of the posts stick straight out and make it easier to route the wires. Don't have any pics of the new solenoid setup yet.

It is really thin and easy to cut. I'd say it is no thicker than 0.125 inch. I looked into fiberglass sheets, found some in the bathtub section but it was too think, flexible and brittle (would have had to glue the carpet onto it). I looked at plywood but it warped easily and was actually heavier than the fiberboard. The biggest problem with the fiberboard is that it is brittle, and if you saw or drill too fast it will crumble and flake. As long as you go slow it cuts/drills pretty easy and clean.vobraman said:What was the thicness on the board you used ?

Do you have some more pic's of that trunk ? How did you support the boards, and what did you use for boards ? Any hints are welcome on this. Need to do mine very soon. I am about to have the six point bar done. I was thinking they were going to take the rear bars thru the package tray ? I guess I better check.
thanks n advance

Is your photo an in-progress shot? I don't see anything on your solenoid other than the B+ to the starter. I was also considering putting the exterior keyed electrical shutoff that most tracks will require me to have once I break into the 11s, and doing it much the way you have with your daisy-chained setup. Of course I've got quite some time before I'll get there.
