Default Working on winter mods.

I found some time to get deeper into my winter mods today. The alky kit is done and I started on the line lock install. I'd rather be driving it but working on it is the next best thing. Since I like things to look stock I mounted the line lock switch in the ashtray and the alky control in the glovebox.

Doing winter mods here, too!

Nice clean installation. Was the line-lock much of a PITA aside from bleeding the brakes? I installed one on my GT500 and it wasn't too bad (single solenoid).

Got the cartech line lock. Couldn't be easier. Change one brake line and connect a few wires.
