that is attached to the rollbar? probably the master cutoff switch, at least that's where mine is going.

Taking care of more stuff.....

Decided the black trim strips on the doors looked like ass, so time to remove - lots of crud underneath

Took care of the kill switch last weekend

Along with the oil pressure light (18psi switch in place of the factory 5psi switch and tiny light in the gauge cluster)

And with pete's bad ass fender rolling tool I rolled all the fenders and flared the rears out

Without a whole lot left to do on the car I got the garage organized today - brought my xmas present from my parents over to my house finally (the toolbox) and picked up some more shelving from home depot as well as a workbench light Smile

I havent picked up any drawer liners for the toolbox yet, so its still empty - hence the mess on the shelves.
