thanks!

No cutting into the fiberglass needed. I only made a small hole for the TCI box cable.
Now I have to get a new driveshaft and build a new exhaust.

I did not cut into anything exept for the hole for the new harness seen in this picture:
I have installed the TCI T-Com and the Haltech E6K.
I have almost finished the wireing now.
I have two hi intensity LEDs mounted in the a-pillar pod. I will use them as shift-lights om two different Haltech outputs. They can be set att different RPMs.
I connected another output to the check engine light. I configured it to be lit below 400 rpm.
I used a fourth output as tachometer signal. I connected both the stock tachometer and the TCI T-Com tachometer input to that wire.
I have bought 3" piping for the exhaust, but I have not started welding yet. It seems to be more room than I expexted. I will post pictures of the exhaust later.

How much exhaust ground clearance do you have?

I almost don't know what to say other then GREAT JOB.
That is one of the best documented swaps I have ever sen and the quality is first rate. I feel you have also given another choice to many who are fed up with the 700 and if they use your web site as a guide then it will be a much simpler task, again awsome work
