You're welcome! Enjoy not having to spend the $300 the shop would charge to heat and bend your hangers lol

Also, if you're still not satisfied with the alignment: your exhaust is basically two 10-12 foot long pipes with multiple angles and axes. Changing the angle of the pipes attached to the cats by a few degrees will produce a biiiiiig difference at the tips. It's a pain in the *** but you gotta loosen everything up a little bit and play with it

Today I finished up my stereo system install:

Pioneer H/U
Memphis Audio 2.75" in dash corners
JBL GT 6.5" in doors
Rockford Fosgate 8' powered subwoofer in cargo area directly behind seats

*I modified the two empty switch plates in the area with the cup holder to hold the volume knob for the subwoofer and the external USB for the H/U

I cleaned the entire car from its 300+ mile road trip I took on Monday. Inside and out.

I changed out the shift boot for a REAL leather one with matching stitching, as well as installed a new shift boot retainer and shift knob.

I changed out the interior lighting, cargo light, and license plate lights for bright LED bulbs.

...basically I was just putzing around. Easy little projects, but satisfying.

The last couple of days, I've been busy.

Finish the up-grade from 2" brake duct cooling hose to 3". That was a PITA.

The front ARP front splitter is almost done. Just have to figure out some splash shielding in the front fender well.

Started to install the FE Designs fender vents.

I find the little touches to be almost as fun as the megaprojects.

Walked by mine sitting in the garage, hooked up to the battery tender. Too much rain and too many stupid people with brokeass cars on the road.

You have any kind of slick wiring/connector for your battery tender? I need to get one... my car sits too much these days.

I have a battery tender jr. tender that has a pigtail that attaches to the battery and allows me to plug in the tender.

Here's mine:

The tender comes with the pigtail, but I forgot to grab my old one off the totaled 2012. :/

I think mine is under a car cover somewhere still.....

BettyZ · 05-02-2019, 06:09 PM

Cut, sheathed, and fitted new Aeroquip lines for my oil cooler. Put a bit too much force into the wrench on one fitting and tore the table vise out of my chitty HF workbench. Fitting is fine though!

New project: build a workbench that can withstand me. Reinforced concrete with a depleted uranium top might be the only option...

My work bench is a piece of 7/16" thick x 3' deep x 8' long steel plate that is bolted to the floor and wall.

I got it at a local fab shop years ago, 1990's. Think it was a left over piece from a job they just finished up.
