That's looking real nice.
Why didn't you just get another harness, instead of all the repairing?

I just been finding wires here and there. After a week I keep finding them by accident than I started looking for them and found more but I already re-did most of them. Some where cut down to the very end too nothing like just have a 1/4" of wire to work with :) It wasn't really a big deal for me just time consuming. Wiring is my strong point (I'm in the electronics field).. just like body work is for you ;)

Hoods.... they're over rated.

Leak news sucks. Are you going to pull it? It is really looking good. I cant wait to see it done.

Also I just noticed my engine that has never ran yet has developed an oil leak. Not at the gasket but on the pan at the front sump it looks it took a hit on the last setup and a py repair attempt of some shiznit was used to try and seal it up.

Bob that shiznit is JB weld..

how do i know this? it's because i did that py repair :flip: :raspberry :D back in 2002 in Bill's driveway in NJ..with a full pan oil in the motor.. he found out that the sway bar washiznitting the pan and had to lower it.. their should be spacers in the sway bar mounts for that reason..

it seems it held up pretty good for a quick fix after 6 years..

and as for the wiring was'nt me! and you can't prove it was:raspberry :D

besides when i use tape i don't use the cheap stuff i only use 3M super 88 or at least super 33

the only other time i was involved in that car was when the sub frames where installed..

LOL, cool glad to hear the JB weld lasted that long! Thats what I was going to use on it. Nice tip on the 3M super 88 tape btw. I'll have to order some of that I just read up on it at their site, sounds like good stuff.

So hows things on your end? Its been awhile.. Did you ever get that tranny replaced on the cat? Hows she been running these days?

It shouldn't be long now. Hopefully I have it running this week, than its time to replace all the brakes and suspension parts.

My next update should have a video of the car running :burnout: I can't wait to drive it.

Still doing some work on that side, I can't mount the clutch cable in the stock position because of the headers.

I decorated it for Halloween... lol I thinks its aftermarket, It had a name on it I can't remember what it was. The car came with 3 distributors 2 stock 351w EFI and 1 MSD (the MSD was missing parts).

send the MSD to MSD and they will rebuild it to new for $75-$80. bucks;)
