He he.. Well there are numerous wiring changes on my car . battery in the trunk... Tilt column from an 89 firebird... One wire gm alternator.. Hei ignition... And I am also going to use the wiper motor from a firebird too.. Not mention all my custom gauges.. I'm also swapping the European style fuse box for an ATC marine style fuse box... But if you are in the area let me know.. You are certainly welcome to take a peek..
Cheers!

Here's the finished terminal block on the passenger side... It's actually a chunk of Kevlar! My positive battery cable is 1/0 welding cable..

Looking good. While I tend to be more of a stock kind of guy - having struggled with getting the stock system back together I have a huge amount of respect for the engineering that goes into what you're doing.

Re: Now the REAL fun starts..
Thank you! Most people that are on this forum are. My intent from the very beginning was to build a unique hotrod from a spider and do my best not to mess with the great handling that it has to offer. Not to mention the styling. Although I have customized the look slightly the lines are still intact..aj81spider wrote:Looking good.

Re: Now the REAL fun starts..
Brake and clutch pedals installed. Electric fuel pump installed.. Next is finishing up with the wiring of the fuel pump and installation of the brakes. I also have an adjustable proportioning valve on order from eBay that I have to install.. And also finish cleaning up the fuel cell.
