---Good job Dennis. When I installed my new fuse panel, I was stumped with
where to mount it. It is mounted next to the clutch pedal now and angled
downward nicely, making it easily accessible, using a `90 Chitvy C20 motor
mount bracket for a 350. I* actually found a good use for a Chevy part! ;-)

---Those power strips that you are talking about is what I needed to add to
my ground wire circuit. Mounting one in the back and running a 10 gauge wire
from that to the starter mounting bolt would have completed my rear grounds,
but I just went with a bolt in the frame and all grounds tapped into that
(with a 10g wire running through the frame rail to the front).
