Here is the final mock up with the mounting bracket for the remote thermostat in place. We may have to shim it all out a little more. Also instead of the NPT to 1.25 hose connection we will probably go with an 1" NPT to -12AN fitting.
Better view of the remote thermostat mounted.

Working on the battery relocate right now. I would have never guessed how interesting that could be. Here are some picts of the box install. Start wiring it next.
I also added a billet battery tray to the trunk to mount the remote coolant reservoir.

Got a little more done today. Began to test fit the -12AN fittings with the remote water pump. Have one issue I will heave to solve with the driver's side lower fitting. Solution may be to reroute the belt, the 90 degree -12AN swivel fittlng hits the belt on the traditional tension pully mount. Still waiting on 4 -12AN Fittings from Jegs. Also got the plugs for the back of the remote thermostat and the temperature sending unit opening.
One of the biggest projects was to weld the heat exchanger coolant reservoir to the XS Power battery tray. I think it looks pretty good and gives me a place to mount the tank flat and secure in the trunk. SNL is working with a new fabricator who does an excellent job.
