Making progress..

You can click on all these photos for high-res versions.

I decided to put the stock suspension back on. I figure this will make it easier to roll around and work on it this off-season. It's wicked cool being able to jack the car up without using blocks first.

It's definitely not pretty...




Remember this?


I need to pull the fender off to get to the harness, then peel the wrapping off it and fix the damage.

In the meantime, I did this to keep it out of the elements the best I could with what I had.





Next is to disconnect the engine harness and label everything, mark how much to lengthen the distributor plug and other small things. No sooner than I finished prepping to start tearing down, I find out that we figured out my ecu problem. The daughterboard had two pins that weren't making a connection to the ecu. So that was fixed and I get it back from Tommy. Here is the finished product of Matt's work. (I know, all these names and no faces)




Well now I've got to try this out! Few random shots of the interior...





I just gotta say WOW. She sounds like a moOOOOnstaAAr! The two-step is wicked pissa and the power band just comes alive. I wish my motor was a little stronger. Tommy's car is 100% stock and healthy, mine has just about every engine bolt-on and is TIRED (<-- understatement). His pulls just as hard as mine now. I'm looking forward to having a healthy motor next season!

I'd like to leave you with this...
