Baking in my garage? Hell no I'm not stinking the garage up, but I do have an oven in the kitchen, wife always loves me when I am baking powder in the oven lol. Nice aroma it puts off also.

Also Mike maybe you could ask how much the guy across the street will charge me for powdercoating a rear end and the crossmember/torquearm/anti roll bar. I want to go black with the rear end and red with the other parts. Its all brand new.

LT1 we are located in Tulsa. Kinda sucks since the main TFCC club closed down. I have a buddy trying to make a club here in Tulsa but its going kinda slow.

Rick I spent about 4 grand today. Amanda will kill me if she finds out. Well maybe not, it was my money anyway...

LOL I did it on one occasion and I lined it with aluminum foil to keep that crap from getting on the oven rails. This was over a year ago and I am still alive.

The origional bracket concept we were going to use wouldnt hold the fuse boxes tight enough. They kept trying to bow down which cause the electrical cover issues in staying where it needed to be. I am getting a buddys rivet gun this weekend and rivetting it in. So I had to come up with another idea. The fuse boxes are nice and snug now. I have still yet to wire it up as I have been working my tail off trying to come up with the funds for the twin turbo project. BTW, the turbos will be here this friday. Twin T76s .81AR. Cant wait....Car should put down over 1000RWHP. Midwest Chassis rear end will be another 3 weeks. I am ready to get this car off to the fab guy and put down some numbers with her.

Honestly? Probably a total of 8 hours goofing off. been working my *** off to pay for everything. I think I spent more time figuring out how and where I was going to mount the fuse boxes and ECM to look as stock as possible and to have decent access too.

Might have to look into doing this. I imagine snipping all the wires at one spot and simply soldering them back together inside is really all it's about, huh? I did the "wire mod" on the passenger side but still need to relocate the computer...Just waiting on diving into all that wire.

None of the computer wires were cut. I will post some pics tomorrow of how to disconnect them. They were very very easy to remove. Just label your wires that correspond with the pin number they came out of.

This looks projects looks like a pita but I'm sure it will pay off at the end. I just repinned my 98 pcm connectors so I can run a 02 pcm. I thought that was a pita what you are doing is crazy
