          • Well I finally received my ridetech 500 lb springs from Summit on the 14th , better late than never . So , I got them installed today without any problems. I been installing a Electric-Life keyless entry system , what a PITA !. I bought the 12 channel system , should have purchased the 4 channel . Would have been less of a pain I'm sure . Electric-Life's instructions a less than ideal. Actually they such !. I tried emailing their tech dept. , no reply. Install was fairly simple , it's just their wiring instructions that are very vague. I've emailed Micro , who supply the keyless remote module and remotes. Hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow. I've followed their programming instructions and double checked the wiring but the little light just won't come on to tell me that it has gone into programming mode. If anyone has any ideas on how to get this thing to work , please by all means speak up.Today I also installed one of the front custom kick panels and speaker as well. Very pleased with the way it all went together. I made some raised support pieces that go in behind the kick panels for the panels to mount to. They're just some 18 ga pieces that are tacked in place . I have the A/C relays and such mounted to the wall behind , so I needed the kick panels to make room . The speakers are a shallow mount Rockford Fosgate piece. I also found a place to mount the washer reservoir where it is out of the way and easy to get to , I also wired it in .

                • Today I finished off the front speaker install . I purchased the front kick panels from Speedway , $59 for the pair . I've got to say that if you're building a 67-68 Cougar or Mustang and you're in the market for front kick panels , you've got to look at these . Retro Sound is the company if I recall correctly . Here's a couple more pics , You can see what I mean about the support pieces that I used to make some room plus make a good mounting surface .

                  • Better that than cutting the door panels! Looks the you're approaching the home stretch!

                    • I emailed Micro , the manufacturer of the keyless control module . They replied the next day to inform me that they don't have a tech and they supplied me with the install instructions that I already had. Yesterday I emailed Electric-Life and they replied today. Their tech helped me figure it out , it pretty much boiled down to "ignore the instructions, they're useless" .So , after a little bit of snip this wire and twist it to that wire and see what happens. I got it working, so all is good now ... at the moment.....

                      • It's time to turn this pile into something. I've fabed up some hanger brackets that i've welded to the rear seatbelt anchors , which I've welded to the floorpan more securely than the factory did. But first a little tig practice is in order.

                            • Making exhaust is fun, Your solution to use the rear seat belt mount is exactly what I did. That said I need to rebuilt the back third of the exhaust on my Javelin. My fab skills have improved a bunch from back when I first built my exhaust, I think I'm on the 3rd iteration of slicing and dicing my exhaust in the last 10 years.

                              • Well I managed to turn that pile of pipes into this , with not much left over . My welds definitely got better with this project. Some welds are better looking than others but that's what angle grinders are for lol !
