Got the wiring 98%completed.missing a glove box switch. The door jam switches just showed up,and I need to complete radio install. Otherwise it's on to fluids,setting up holley terminator x max, and fire it. Cosmetically I need to wetsand buff then spray my satin black,and lay out stripes. Once that is done I can install windows,and finish interior. We are getting close guys. Now I'm getting excited!

Found some original rally centercaps that look awesome. My tires also just showed up. So time to strip that mockup rubber off sling some paint and get that job checked off the list
 
Any updates?

Where'd you get the wheels on the car in the last pic's? Searched the thread and only find the sizes.
 
Sorry I left you all hangin. Only a few weeks till SEMA,and the car is real close. It's fighting back at this point but progress is still moving in the right direction. I will show some pics in a moment. Quite astonishing progress compared to the last ones I posted.
Well the brakes are still an issue. Decided to replace the right stuff master, booster,and prop valve setup. Not sure why it won't build pressure up front but I believe that the whole setup is just designed wrong. Most likely the geometry with the bracket and pedal throw. At this point I don't care the reason it's being replaced with a leeds setup.
The waterpump sprung a leak on fluids day. Easy enough to replace, but unexpected. All other fluids seem to be staying put. Gonna hook up battery,and test electrical systems on tuesday. Then need to go through the holley setup,and hopefully kick some fire to her. Wish us luck. Here are some pics of the progress. Exterior other than wipers is complete in the photos,and interior is just waiting for fire up to finish. (Have some wiring I may need to get to under center console.)

Buffing for days. KBS paint was so hard it took three days,and alot of trial and error to find right combo of buffing pad,and compound. It was a wool pad,and 3m yellow compound if your wondering. Then normal polish after that.

Now the satin black on the car begins with hours of meticulous taping. We wet sanded ,and buffed the whole car first. The parts to be sprayed black we left unbuffed for adhesion.

We will be pulling car out for pics Monday. Need to send out some promo photos for sponsors. So I should have some great full shots for yall in the next day or two
 
Brake parts coming tomorrow. Should have brakes done ,and still beable to do outside pics. Did finish interior changed coils,and wires today. Also plugged in the juice,and tested all electrical today. Only thing not working is the wipers. Rebuilt ,and tested the motor before install so it must be a bad switch.
 
Here's she is guys. Heading to tuning shop on Monday. Then off to alignment on Wednesday. Getting the ac charged. Then ready for sema. Enjoy the pics.
