Time for some progress updates...
I checked clearance of the coil covers so I could figure out how much I needed to trim on the drivers side. This is the passenger side, almost enough for a standard sharpie to fit between the cover and the firewall curve.
And the passenger side after several attempts to sneak up on the desired shape.
Both covers now fit without interference from the firewall.
and I got the Dakota Digital VHX gauges in finally. Had to route and connect the air pressure sensor wires to the BIM module first, but it's all in and ready to go. I also mounted the OBD-II (DLC) on the metal plate below the steering column (waiting on my new Ididit column so I can get it painted).
