    After just a few hours of making some patch panels, my floor looks like this. Good thing I dont pack parachutes for a hobby, someone would be in serious trouble.

    Before I saw the photo, I thought you meant that your Maverick floor looked like a twisted mess and you just sucked at making patch panels.

    Mine looks the same 'cause I'm making patches to fill in the cowl on my son's car. But the welder just ran out of gas so I'm taking the rest of the day off. lol.

    Quick way to solve that, I tossed everything into the trunk of the car lol. Mine was the same way, now I gotta dig for everything I need.

    Looks like you'll be spending 10 minutes untangling all those cords.

    I feel for you...I had to get Anna's stang back in there this afternoon, and I was not quite done putting my engine back together, so I just slid it all under my car. There are parts from 2 different engines on the floor.
