You're a crazy man haha. I'm thinking about "starting" the process of building a new shell over the next 2-3 years and that is daunting enough as it is. I can't wait to see this thing out on stage though!

Skid plate finished. It has welded aluminum channel braces inside running front to back in addition to the frame up front.
Wiring harness nearly tamed (I think). De-pinned a bunch of unneeded stuff from the fuse box and reduced the harness a bit more. Still no smoke coming out of the wires so that is a good start!! 
Still have to deal with the clutch and brake pedal switches. I am running a pressure switch for the brake lights so the pedal switch needs only fool the ECU into never seeing brakes applied so that brake and throttle can be applied simultaneously without fuel cut. Not sure what to do with the clutch pedal switches. Am I correct that they are only used to cancel cruise control? ____________________________________________________________- One.
