So my electrical system is kind of all over the place. I am really wanting to centralize all of my relays/components to one location for easier troubleshooting and wiring. So Yesterday I fabbed up this small panel to mount over the driver side front battery/horn location. It took me all damn day to do this and re-wire my electric fans to these 2 relays. I took my time and actually measured twice and cut once. I think it came out alright. Later I want to have all my components mounted here along with a terminal block for ign power and battery power when it gets moved to the back.

You guys think I should paint it black or leave it?
Thanks for looking

Wow thats pretty awesome! good job Sean! I love it. And well i would paint it if it wouldnt be too much of a bother,or it looks fine the way it is. Id kill to have one haha. Great design

 

I always like to see hands on simple fab work with commonly available items. So many people need to just go and buy whatever the hottest item is now a days. There's always that feeling of "I made it myself and it works just fine" when you do something like that.

In all the fab work I've done, I've never considered making plates to cover those corner openings.

 

pretty cool, not a bad idea too. definitely paint it, will look more original and at home in the engine bay

 

Thanks man. I really isn't that hard to make, I am not very experienced with metal work at all. I just cut out a card board template and traced it and then cut out the metal. I think I am gonna paint it.
I love doing everything myself. I try my hardest to learn and do new projects if I have time and the materials.

And is that a good thing or a bad thing that you never thought about making these plates? lol
Yea I am gonna paint it once I get all the components mounted where I want them with all the mounting holes drilled. When I am done I want it to look something like this.
