Also got the terrain console mounted back in to finish the electrical wiring connectors n such. Found out going to have to lift the back of the console 3/4 of an inch to allow the console lid to open near fully :/ grrr always something lol. Will order some aluminum bar and fix that problem very soon. Also will begetting a 2016 Camaro center vent assembly in for experimenting with for a set of center vents it may or may now work but going to give it a shot lol.

started a long thought of project last night. coming along very nicley using 3/16th inch abs paneling to make the setup. Will make templates for it here after I have all the panels completed and installed. So far so good will be working on it more tomorrow and Saturday.

Sean

Captainfab yep using a heat gun for the bends and folds doesn't take a whole lotta heat to get things bent!

[sdwolff98]

well got the glove box completed and rough shaped quite happy with how it turned out. If I make any more it will go much easier since I now know the mistakes that can happen making them rotflmao!!!! That and a better plastic bending setup then two pieces of lumber lol
But since most people won't be looking up under the dash I call this project done. Once the paint is complete can finish installing the AC vent hoses then put this up inside piece by piece. One of the mistakes is its the factory size and being made out of the abs does not install except in pieces lol. oh well happy with it plenty of clearance in the back for the vent hoses etc so its all good.
Just have tot ake it apart and clean up all the scribing lines with a lil paint remover and all done

Put a deposit down with a custom radiator inter cooler builder up here locally and he has started on this project. he has gotten off to a good start. The radiator is going to be inset into the new core support and 27 inches tank to tank. nice thing is 10 an trans cooler fittings!

Sean

[Captainfab]

That's going to be nice

[sdwolff98]

Yeah captainfab he did most of that in one evening lol.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

he is making progress rapidly.... for securement going with a set of rivet nuts that can be tack welded to help keep them from breaking loose and rotating just waiting on them and the install tool to come in now. Radiator is gonna be very nice 27x19 with electric fan shroud as ya can see. Other projects are in the stalled stage waiting for body work to be done.... playing with led lighting has been fun but getting frustrated by inconsistent diodes right now. got another led lighting project in the works using one of the copper led circuits boards. More to come on that later

Sean

[Captainfab]

The radiator support is looking good

When installed correctly, rivnuts should not spin.

[sdwolff98]

Captainfab,

Lol not gonna take any chances murphy loves tormenting me pretty consistently of late. Got a breather tho my wife exercised and blessed the garage rotflmao!!!!! 3 months so far can continue to hope

Sean

[sdwolff98]

ok a few more pictures from last night placement check and test fit really getting excited seeing this come together. This guy definitely worth hiring listens to his customer triple checks everything and them a couple more times to boot!

Sean

[sdwolff98]

been working on quite a few projects recently. the core support is coming along slowly got everything mocked up and found my driver side innder fender is pretty badly warped. So after digging around have an OEM unit on the way and see where that gets me lol. Also scrapped the terrain console project just was not working quite like I wanted. So I have started a new console mod project will be posting up pictures of it in the next few days. It fits the cab much better and gives me more room for components and such on the facing panel.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Ok here we go promised pics of the new console and how it is shaping up. Going to have to redo the front face panel got my vent hole dimensions off quite a bit so that panel is trashed :/ but otherwise fitting quite nicely. Plenty of space for louvers, trans temp gauge, usb port mounts. The shifter mounting plates I am currently waiting on to come in tomorrow so I can get that cut out and ready.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Went back to working on the alignment of the aluminum core support. Builder is drilling the front brace holes tonight then slowly start aligning everything as the front end is slowly put back together The repop driver side fender mounts up pretty nicely just needs some minor trimming in one spot.. will have pics of that later. going to be dropping my original powder coated inner fender back in think I got it straightened out with the aid from a bench vise lol. The one in the pictures has been reworked numerous times in it former lives with a few homemade replacement pieces so not sure I am going to invest anymore then I already have in buying it.......

Sean

[sdwolff98]

also got the firewall pass through panel installed and hooked into the main harness. got to worrying I may not have good connections throughout this custom setup but then thought well it either does or it does not lol. Ifn I have to will pull it out after everything is assembled and I can test it out I also went back in an reworked the center console connections to fit the new console setup.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

And last but not least got the parts in and the shift is mounted in the console fits much better then on the terrain console. Face panel is all finished just did not get any pictures of it but definitely have room for everything on it

Sean

[Captainfab]

What is the new console out of? It does look to fit better.

[sdwolff98]

07 land rover has captain fab yeah fits a ton better

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Well some more updates. converting the truck to electric e brake system has been an interesting journey but I am waiting on a few more things to come in and work on it some more. I could not get the land rover switch working so I made a filler panel to mount the switches for it in, Also finished the face panel and side panels for the front of the console. Had to do a lil rework on the e brake cable mounts and the pull bar on the factory setup.

Sean

[sdwolff98]

And back to the aluminum core support got the center mounting bolt holes lined up and drilled :/ only to run into the inner fender nose is hitting one of the radiator mounting bungs grrrrrr... the builder is going to come over and look at it kinda stumped but working at it worked ok once and now we have issues lol. the 4 holes are perfectly measured out and match the factory one so I guess we will see what is going on when he gets by.....

Sean

[sdwolff98]

Also got the pink bed removed from the frame and flipped over so I can get to all them blasted rusted perimeter bolts lol will be working on getting some of them out this thursday And last thing dear god Welllllllll swap meets are totally horrible EVIL EVIL EVIL places!!!!! Just stopped to look at some pretty brake calipers..... guy comes over says you got a silverado?? I told him no I got a 64 gmc..... he looks at me funny and said them won't fit your truck..... I told him I had a factory Dana 60 with Silverado 2500 rear discs..... his eyes lit up and exclaimed "WELL NOW I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU!!!!!!" Some cash later I walked out of the swap meet completely broke excepting for gas money lol with a set of brand new silverado 2500 rear stainless steel brake triple piston calipers.... now gonna have to work lotsa overtime to build up my paint funds again lol.....

Sean

[Captainfab]

Are those calipers GM or aftermarket?

[sdwolff98]

Captainfab stainless steel brakes company triple piston s already checked they fit the rear disc brackets I adapted to my factory Dana 60 proportioning valve is off the sane year truck
Sean

[Captainfab]

I didn't realize that anyone made aftermarket brake parts for the 2500's. If they're SSBC, I'm sure they are a bit more than $300 new.

[sdwolff98]

Captainfab ooohhhh yeah a grand for a new set from summit like these I got just happened to be at right place and time.
