Hi Mark, I found a single step foot stool (plastic) that was the same height as the rocker panel and using one or 2 of those to support my body was able to work in that position for a while with minimal discomfort. Of course, now that I have the lift, it's easy enough to raise the car up to the perfect working height.

Here's a trick. Use a girl's hand mirror that costs about 4 bucks from Wal-Mart and a cheapo multi-led flashlight to see what you're doing. Slide a small ty-rap underneath and around the fuse, pull it tight, then pull the fuse with it. Before you put the fuse back in, tighten a teensie ty-rap around the thing, cut off all but an inch of the tail, and you'll have a neato handle to pull it out next time. Your fuse block might end up looking like a ty-rap farm, but the damn fuses will be EASY to fool with.

Thanks guys, all great ideas 
I did think twice about the pen light story 
but put it in there anyways. I do love the ty-rap idea, it will make it easier to get in and to pull next time. My biggest problem is only being able to get one hand in there. I seriously can't lay on that side any longer, I'm planning on taking the seat out tonight and try again. Thanks again guys

Hey an idea
anyone ever thought of moving the fuse panel to a more accessable location? Too much work, not worth it? What do ya think?

mark it would be great to do that but would take a lot of wiring,then
where would you put it?, and unless you have a short or working and
short something out how many fuses do you blow? after you do it and
find an easy way (did i say that about a vette
)
if you have to do it again you usually remember what not to do and in
most cases is easier than the first time. just my opinion and 2 cents.
good luck with your car and decision.

Ya right, I was counting on you to giving for some words of wisdom. You know my technical expertise, even if you told me how to do it I still probably couldn't do it.
Remember my wipers stopped working, well apparently if the Wiper Delay is turned to the slowest point, the wipers sit is the up and ready position and don't wipe Easist thing I ever fixed 
Easist thing I ever fixed Oh ya never got to removing the seat yet, still can't lay on my left side
