68 GT convertible project
My headlight relay kit arrived yesterday so I thought I'd get it mocked up. I first mounted it to the inner fender below the battery tray.
I set the tray in place but the relays were too visible. I wanted them to be hidden more. I was thinking of making a cover to hide the area.
Today I moved the relays and mounted them to the underside of the tray.
With everything else in the engine compartment, you shouldn't see them at all. I'm also going to mount a bus bar under the tray to pick up power.
I also mounted the oil vapor separator for the PCV system. I think it will look good. I do have to do something with the wording on the can though.
I was a little quick to get the K-member powder coated. I need to do some mods to it which will require it to be recoated. The torque strap I bought is supposed to be bolted to the pinch weld lip of the K. The lip on this K isn't wide enough though. There isn't enough meat on the lip to drill the holes. I was going to widen the lip but decided to just have the bracket welded onto the K instead.
I'm also adding a skid plate to the bottom. I made one out of cardboard to see what it would look like first.
I wasn't sure how to do the curved part. I thought about pie cutting the lip and bending each section down but decided against it. I just cut a strip of metal and bent it into a curve. The strip will be welded on the edge of the plate.
