few more progress pics. I have heater box back in, coils and wires on, radiator, fan and hoses on. steering shaft finally fits. Fixing to pull headers and get ceramic coated. slowly but surely making head way. Hard to do that working 7-13's w an hour drive each way.

also didnt use a hose to loop the bypass the heater outputs on the water pump, instead used block off caps. I cant stand a looped hose....just boogers up the engine bay imo.

Got a lil more done. I painted the coils, and brackets, put my throttle bracket on. Headers are back off getting coated. Got all the fuel system ran and plumbed in. hope to have it ready to crank when i get headers back. heres a few more pics. Also got the overflow tank mounted too. making progress is the main thing.
