Cowl Induction part 2 + battery relocation

Moving the battery was actually a lot easier than I first thought. I was just a matter of cannibalizing the dune buggy's battery box and drilling a few holes in the floor. I decided to drill 4 holes and use over sized bolts for the battery box. This was mainly because the idea of a 50lb projectile bouncing around the cabin wasn't a good mental image. Then the cables were threaded through the floor and attached to the kill switch. I will install a stainless steel cable later so it can be pulled while wearing the harnesses. These pictures were taken before the wire loom covered the cables but its easy to get the idea.






Finally a slightly better picture of the still unfinished interior



Cowl hood...
Well first off thanks to the geniuses on the Chevy forums I used acetone to clean the fibreglass because its supposed to remove any remaining wax left from the mold. Sadly this was bullshit and it just lead to a cracking paint job. It will be repainted later... along with the rest of the car.




Here's the "performance" cake pan that will hopefully keep the hot air out and the fresh air in



It was then fitted, cut, and riveted to the base of the air cleaner







Heres the 4" air cleaner which was just about an .5" too tall so it was returned for the 3" one below it.
