Default What's everyone been doing to get ready for INVASION?

I've been working on cleaning the engine bay up... I did the wire mod on both sides and painted the engine bay a slightly brighter metallic blue.

Just got my Specialized Stainless covers (thanks Steve) and my valve covers (thanks Jose) back from a great powder coat guy (thanks Ismael and Mike for sending me to him)...

Here's they are on the couch



Put everything on but the valve covers, I'll do that tonight after Bob's

What has everyone else been up to?

Ive been working on my carpc, i figured out today what the issue is, for some reason my ignition on wire i tapped into from the stereo harness is not getting any power, i have to check it now to find out how to fix it. Right now i have everything running off the fuse distributor for my amps, hopefully i am not draining the power, everything is unplugged when i have the car off. We will see if it starts up tomorrow, if not i will jump it and bring a wrench to unplug the batt while we are waiting to start the cruise haha talk about ghetto-fied
