So here's my punch list-

Build a new panel under the dash, redo terminal blocks.

Wire bilge pumps, fans, trim pumps.

Install new battery boxes and fuel tank cover.

Install fuel pumps and fuel filters.

Change oil pan and oil filter mount.

Build a new hatch cover.

Install the rest of interior and carpet.

Theres a lot more but I'm getting there. Thanks Eddie for all your help!!!

I just purchased some new fuse panels for under the dash. They take the updated ATC fuses instead of the glass types. I dont have the link to where I bought them at work but I can get it tonight if you want. They were priced right!

Here is my wiring schematic. Feel free to use it for ideas if you want...or not.

Coming along nicely!

Oh real Nice, Your just jealous!

Besides once I install the out riggers I will be able to troll for tuna at 40MPH

I will make sure to let you know when I post the rod holders on ebay, I am sure you will want to bid on them! LOL

In all seriousness, Is it possible the s-types came with offshore pickups, because I don't see any remains of the old pickups?

I am assuming the offshore are better?

My S-type came factory with the tru hulls like scotts. Yours is a little newer and had bigger engines from the factory( due to your borg warner and offshore motor mounts.) It would not suprise me if they came that way from the factory.
