Badass! Wheatley told me about your car, but I haven't seen you rippin' around Anderson. I suppose this build is why

Good luck!

Yeah I hit another bump in the road my injection pump went out on my cummins so it will be a little while until I can get parts for it, but I still have a ton of work on the car.

I was hoping to up date this while I was on vacation last week but I didn't have any internet. I finally got my harness finished up. I already had the harness some what tucked from last year but there was a lot of things I wanted to clean up and also wanted to add a cannon plug. I relocated pretty much everything under the intake manifold and made a mounting plate for all sensors.

First up was organizing all the wires and getting ready to cut them.

And after staring and cussing a little bit, I got it all covered.

Way to stiff, I talked to guy at ground control and I think it was 415lb front and 380lb rear?

Update time! I have a few updates, its finally looking like I'm making some progress. I got all the wiring done on the interior, got the staging brake mounted and all the lines ran, carpet back in the car (I took it out years ago), and starting fitting up the console. It looks like a completely different car with carpet and a console, really happy I put them back in.

While I was waiting on some parts to come in I did a little brush work on my intake manifold. I always like building model cars and tried to paint them with a lot of detail so I figured I would try a little on my car. It's not perfect but I'm happy with it.

Also got my GSC cams, AEM cam gears, Kiggly valve springs and retainers installed.

This weekend I got all parts for my motor, installed all the timing parts and dropped the motor in. With Wheatley's encouragement we tossed on a few parts to see how the everything looked. I'm really happy with the way everything looks and fits up. Big thanks to Wheatley helping me get my motor back together and the motor in.
