Build it slow, build it well




Spent the entire day Monday building my skid plate. It is difficult because it is made from stainless steel, has to fit right and it requires a 1 inch bend along the long edge. It is essentially the same as the one I made for my Jetta. I also received the fuel cell from my welder and have posted pictures of it. The other pictures are of the fuel and coolant lines passing through my fire wall and wheel well. Note how they are well insulated, and protected from damage. Well insulated lines will help the system switch from diesel to SVO faster as heat will not be lost from cold air passing over unprotected fuel and coolant lines.
