So I had to remove my tunnel to repair everything inside that was broken or rusted. Now I am thinking about just making a custom tube frame tunnel that will make it easy to get inside to do any work later on down the line.
Has anybody done one before? If so, do you have any pics? I am looking for ideas, and suggestions. |

Did you do the repairs wrong? Why are you going to have to get back in there? Are you planning on parking it underwater?
IMHO, you need to think about what kind of life this car had to make it so bad, and then think about what kind of life it's going to have after you're done with it. You're going to go through all this effort and then never use it. If you did all your repairs right, you're wasting time and money. |

You're going to go through all this effort and then never use it. If you did all your repairs right, you're wasting time and money. The problem is, now that the tunnel is out, I am realizing how much trouble it will be to get it back in properly, considering I don't really want to be welding with brake/fuel/wiring inside the tunnel. If I make a custom tunnel, I can fab the tunnel and then install everything that goes inside. I do see the possibility of getting back inside, since every last vehicle I have done has had some custom functionality-focused electrical modifications, and I like to hide most of it in the center console where it isn't so obvious and has a lot of room for me to work in. I am already installing a built in Homelink module and I am working on some slideout lighted cupholders. I am going for an updated interior. I hadn't even thought of the e-brake! Thanks guys, I am working on adding that to the drawings tonight! |
