I decided to work on the Dash insert, I wanted to be able to remove the gauges/electrical switches easily so I got a 12 pin plug from Painless wiring but quickly realized that all those cool switch relays were going to take up alot of room and there was no clean area to mount them, so I made a 1/8" aluminum plate and welded it to the gauge insert. I also started making the gauge harness for the 12 pin plug...I hate wiring ,but doing it on a bench is so much easier than upside inside the car.... I also picked up a Mezerie HD 42GPH water pump. I've heard lots of stories, mostly good if done right but there are some bad stories about cooling a street car with an electric water pump, so I'll give it a try. Of course, I'll be modifying it to acccept a heater hose port and maybe a by-pass.
