I'm catching up on your videos. You're going at an excellent pace! Two things. Adding an extension to that switch is a great solution. With the switch being vertical, keep an eye on weather that extension is too heavy or not. The weight of the arm may eventually trigger the lower setting just by gravity (like a bump). When the Ford turn signal cams get old and break, that can happen. So I can see it happening to that switch. The daughter fuse panel is a great idea. Close to the battery and closer to some accessories too. It's in a good spot that doesn't have to be wedged in.
Shawn, Good call on the turn signal switch, I’ll keep an eye on that. I did use aluminum tube for the extension to keep tabs on the weight, but yes, I can see that over time it could trigger the “left hand” signal- and I certainly don’t want to be one of those people driving around with the left hand blinker on.
That’s exactly my take on the master switch. I made mine so everything is disabled when it is off, even the Coyote. It’s so handy when you want to do electrical work, but having my switch under the dash means when I’m upside down in the foot box and remember that, yet again I forgot to turn it off, I can still reach it without effort.
Hi Dan, thanks for the comment. Your videos have been very helpful to me. Your recent body installation and prep-work have been great for me to watch as I'm getting ready to dive into that part of my build.
Really love your ingenuity and customization. If I ever get beyond my engine build and start a kit, I’ll probably go more traditional, but I love the simplicity and hot rod or almost art deco style of your dash.
Matthew, thanks for the nice note. Funny you mentioned art deco- it’s one of my favorite genres. And yes, I’ve definitely moved away from traditions. Good luck on your engine build. I wish I knew more about engines- that’s definitely my weakness.
I noticed that the dash is lower than the hoop on the frame, the body may not fully cover all that, as they are not exactly the same shape. Have you not fitted the body at all yet? I have had to have mine off an on a few dozen times making sure things fit and are accessible an serviceable with the body on.
@@randomwerks3763 I love the custom look of it. I am envious. I may do something myself in the future. I would like to be able to remove the dash with the body on and the steering column still in place.
I like that turn signal switch actuator. You might already have seen it, but the forum member skidd developed an auto-off turn signal that works with the toggle. He did a superior job and I love mine. I did a demo of how it works for him if you’re interested: HotRodBlinkn test drive - Cobra FFR ua-cam.com/video/_DxBn5en8fk/v-deo.html
Looks great and I luv the "free" heat idea.

Mine cuts off everything except the sniper. Leaving power to the sniper prevents it from losing it's memory.
Love the music in this episode!
Ha! Thanks. I struggle with the music. I’m too cheap to actually pay for more music so I use what’s in my software. :)
@@randomwerks3763 What software are you using? The editing is well done!
@@Bradatp thanks.
I use Modovi- it’s fairly inexpensive but works well and is easy to learn.
Like # 1 ! Good progress everyday.
A few hours a night starts to add up. Those two hours are my favorite time of the day- next to hanging with my wife and kids of course.
I like the fiberglass dash
Clever...Thanks for sharing...
Thanks!
Very cool work

love the look of the dash though. Looks great!
The dash sits higher when bolted in place. It’s only hanging there by a few hooks currently. It’s sits almost flush with the bar.
