Can't thank you guys enough for the support. We're getting closer to being done. More to come!

I do enjoy following other's projects. The in-depth stuff is very appealing to me. Kinda why I'm going about this in this manner.

Re: Curt's '72 K20 Resto-mod

Spent hours deciding what to do about the stereo, amp and the wiring.

I fianally decided to install a Painless auxiliary fuse panel. The install was very easy, but again, deciding the best location for the panel and wiring was a big issue.

The Vintage Air required a circuit breaker, which was in place already. The Painless panel required one, as did the Jensen amp I'm going to install. Once those issues were worked out, here's what I ended up with.

I really didn't want to drill a hole in the firewall for the wiring. I'd gone to great lengths to insulate that.

I figured that up through the floor would work great. A little modification the shifter bracket and here we are!

Re: Curt's '72 K20 Resto-mod

I had purchased some car interior carpeting from Menards and some double sided carpet tape to cover the area where the jack lives. When you open the passenger door, that's the first thing I would notice, is no carpeting.

I wasn't concerned about the entire back, because the tank will cover it. I applied this stuff on both corners.
