Yeah it's just my paranoia from years gone by. Hit the key for the next round and click. Or sitting in lanes during a shut down and forget to turn stuff off, etc.

Sure sounds like I could fix the issue by paying attention, LOL!

Going over the rule book again, double checking… interior, unless you’re running a roll bar, must have front and rear seats… crap. So now I need a passenger AND a rear seat. And since I’m pulling the batts out of the rear, I don’t need my aluminum rear firewall.

How can I be falling farther behind, the more I do?? Lol!

Going to look at a scrapped mustang tomorrow for the batt tray and possibly seats.

Just ordered a new factory tray, scrap yards have nothing around here.

1979-86 MUSTANG BATTERY TRAY KIT by Daniel Carpenter Reproductions

Item #LRS-10732BK

This battery tray kit includes everything you need to safely secure your 1979-1986 Mustang battery.

Going with single batt up front and pulling the two bus batteries from the rear. Found rear seat in red so I'll use that, just need a red front passenger seat now. (among a thousand other things, lol)

(again, spending a lot to go really slow, LOL!!)

Got another video almost done.

So far, Removed the two bus batteries as well as the master switch and 20ft of double O wire.(100lb's??) Reinstalled the rear carpet. Got the new battery tray in by removing the fuel pressure reg and some other wiring that was in the way, then had to move the starter solenoid too. Got that done and a quick disconnect on the new "die hard" batt.

Working on the fuel system under the hood now. Gotta go pick up some fittings and a tap for fuel checks. Pumped two jerry cans of fuel through the system to flush more of the old crap out. (1/2" line and a holley blue pump empty a tank pretty quick!!)
I'll finish the fuel system and then probably post a video of my junk in progress.

Pulled off the rear spoiler because they only came on the indy 500 pace cars in 1979 and this is a ghia.

Also, went and picked up a water pump drive from fellow class racer Rory McNeil yesterday so that will be next after the fuel system is done.

I must be getting lots done, I can tell because the wife is getting really mad with my absence....lol...
