        Well I was hoping to have it running today but that didn't happen. Worked on it all day but ran out of time. It's getting closer and closer though.

        My list...


        Engine harness off, fully wrapped. I went through and checked every pin just to be sure.


        Harness back on the engine








        Where it ties into the chassis


        GM fuse box all wired up



        I got some used GTO fuel rail covers....they need a little trimming to fit. They will get repainted and the GTO will get shaves off. Should they be black or silver? Or something else?



        Other things that got done today but really no pictures to show...
        new radiator is in, lower radiator hose is done, upper rad hose is ready, heater hoses just need a couple more clamps, brake booster line hooked up, power steering lines ready to go... I think that is it

        I should be able to work out there tomorrow a little bit but I doubt I will have it ready to start Coming soon tho.

            Great work on the wiring! I vote to keep the engine covers black.

                I think black with //M stripes, or matching them to the body color would be slick. Maybe black with the //M stripes in 3 different shades of the body color...

                    It would be nice if the GM coil packs didn't look so UGLY. Have fun with the colors if you paint them -- flames would be cool

                      It's running!!!
                      Video is pretty boring but this was the first start.....running smooth. Still have to finish a few things before it can be driven.


                      A few pics of the exhaust painted and back on the car.









                      Also picked this up for my wife yesterday.....I am thinking it will get a 60 degree GM v6.....around 200hp or so.

                        What are those little round bulges in the exhaust just before the square muffler? Cats or resonators? What brand? If resonators, I may need some.

                              A little bit more finished.
                              AC lines all crimped and installed










                              Looks like it belongs there.....Still unsure if I like the covers or not.




                              I like that they cover up all the coils and what not....I think I will like them better when they are repainted black.

                              I still need to find a new home for the cruise servo because the cable isn't long enough...well it is but the cable has to stretch over everything.
