so why are you out then? your doing it on that exact day?
All the work has to be done on the weekends that's left- I only have 1 person I trust enough to help me with this step. It is the most important and the most dangerous parts of the install. I have to:
1) remove the bench seat and install buckets
2) build console to house all the controls and metering equipment and then get it out to Calverton to get it line-x'd to match the amp rack thats already line-x'd and the back of the truck that's now herculined but looks real similar to the line-x.
3) mount 4 power meters, 2-3 volt gauges, 1 dual alternator variable voltage regulator, 6 switches for the extra alternators
4) run the field wires from all 6 extra alternators into the cab
5) drill 2 holes in the roof at exact locations and mount 2 puck antenna mounts and backing plates that get installed through the roof
6) hook up 2 high voltage transformers
7) install the antennas and test and tune them
8) bond all the body panels with braided ground strap
9) install the smallest of the three amps
10) test the boxes which includes running them as hard as I ever will(at that point youre dealing with 10,000+ volts in the back of the truck)
The friend helping me has kids and we all know how busy the summer is as soon as the kiddies are released for the summer so I have to get this all done in the next 3 weeks.
I also have to work around the weather, any rainy days no work gets done on it and has to be on days where I have no work for the shop.
All of this is on top of building and installing the 383 stroker and full exhaust system in it which will be getting done next week during the week in the overnight hours(between 9PM and 8AM) because my mechanic works vampire hours.
So, am I going to be making it to the BBQ? Nah, don't think it's in the list.
