Started running all the lines front to back... I am not a big fan of how they are routed right now but I do not have a lot of options withthe design of the floor pan in this thing, Two -6an trans cooler lines and a -8an return fuel line on the passenger side and a -10an fuel feed line on the drivers side:

got a bunch more done this weekend, Interior is completley wired-trans brake, meth fuel pump controller,wideband,shift light, dash etc.

Also got most of the interior back in, Have not put the passenger seat in yet in case I need to get under the dash again for whatever reason.

Wideband is mounted in/above the ash tray, trans brake arm button just temporarily in one of the old stereo holes.

Car runs and drives, Took it to a local 100 ft shoot out and qualified #1 in my class until a bound up shifter cable kept me out of the finals..... Have beenputting lots of street miles/races on it and so far it feels like an animal!!!! Even with the low compression(tighter head gaskets didnt show up in time) it still made 750 rwhp/720 rwtq on 15 psi through a th400 and a 4400 stall. Hoping to get a few licks in at the track tomorrow night!
