Here we go I thought I would start another thread seperate from my frame notch/tub thats being followed for this new thread of a custom built fuse and relay center...I am rewireing my prostreet car once Im done with trunk floor,tubs,notch,cage..If you saw my other thread you will also see my custom dash panel thats in my car..I have changed to all autometer gauges but Im pulling my dash back out to install my roll cage and ive decided to rewire the whole car and getting rid of the rest of cluster F**K of factory wire harness's ..I'm going to install the new custom fuse relay box in the trunk since the battery box is in the trunk as well I wanted to have it near the battery and with the custom trunk work I am doing it will look good. I'm also doing away with the orginal fuse box under the dash since it is outdated after adding all the aftermarket electronics,gauges,etc....With this being said I will be adding pics of this as I go...This first thing I did was go to the junk yard to find a underhood fuse/relay box close to the size and shape that would work for me...The one I ended up finding was out of a saturn since they are very simmular to GM fuse boxes..It holds the mini ATC blade fuses, relays, and the large MAXI Blade fuses..Now the orignall wire with the box will not work and did not have enough fuse slots for what I will need so i took the fuse box completely apart and gutted it out and took the harness out of it and i am modifying the wire harnesses that the fuses plug into to add more fuse slots..I was able to get addtional pins from radio shack so I can modify the wire harness plug to add more fuse/relay slots I had to use a air body saw to cut the inside of the plastic fuse box base so it can be modifed to accept more fuses/relays..I will post pics as i go along explaing this process so your able to understand..Unfortunatly I didnt think about do this post and posting pics before I took apart the fuse box apart but once you see it you should get an idea what I had to do..The underhood fuse boxes in your late model cars is the best to use because it will give a cleaner look because they all have box covers that screw on the top to protect it..Im thinking about useing some stainless steel or aluminum to fab up a new cover that screws over the top of the fuse/relay box though so it matchs the fuel cell and stainless battery box in my trunk...I also still need wire the new pins in the harness plugs
