Thanks, Steve - we've been busy! 
Brad - I'll make you proud soon, or make a mess trying!

Dash is back in - I've got lots of room now. I'm still deciding how I want to mount the ECU.

Glove box for the ECU?

I thought about mounting it to the back side of the glovebox, but still up in the air - got some thinking to do

Here is what a came up with for the computer mount - yeah I know my cuts aren't straight but it'll never be seen. It'll bolt to the backside of the a/c delete plate with the same bolts as the a/c delete plate. It's not going to be mounted level just due to how the holes line up. It'll be a nice sturdy, light mount.
And look what showed up today, my nuts are still in my shoes from picking it up. It's 20lbs lighter than the other one but doesn't feel like it.

What was the ambient temp you fired it up at? Now get back out there and get behind it and let us hear the exhaust tone. :rock:

60*F in the barn - mid 20s outside. Still has E85 in it, and the wideband sensor was unplugged so needless to say it idled a little fat.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Personally, I'd like to see you show everyone how to adjust all the parameters with whatever 'box' you're using. You're a wizard like Eric...but dumb things down like he does. Bob is a wizard...but he thinks everyone else is. Eric has a couple of short vids of him adjusting his ECU. Something like that would be cool, but a little more in depth.

Jeremy, I'm not sure what you have on the car as far as suspension. Maybe a few vids on your suspension setup and then how you adjust for pinion angle, IC, frame geometry etc. You're at another level for suspension and understanding from what I did. It would be helpful for guys that wanna go to a more sophisticated setup.

Just some stuff I've managed to get done. ECU mounted, 3rd member installed, torque arm/drive shaft installed. I'm waiting on u-bolts for the yoke as they forgot to ship them.
My brother-in-law didn't have a spot to keep his Harley inside, so I did my good deed for 2021/2022 and let him store it in our garage. Must be a cold day in hell for me to allow a HD in my garage!
