Yeah really just trying to figure out what to do next lol

I want to start on the wiring and the motor but part of me wants to go ahead and finish the paint.

Plus I am still waiting on my harness for bp so I am unsure of what I am doing on that part. Wish I would have known it was gonna take a month for me to get a standalone harness from bill, I would have waited a couple more weeks and got a plug and play from cpw

Want a/c but don't know if I am gonna have the money. Might have to add it later

Yeah I have plenty to keep me busy but I didn't know the harness was gonna take this long. Silly me I thought this swap was gonna go faster so I didn't want to wait for cpw to build a plug and play so I ordered a standalone from bp cause it was gonna be done quick.

Would have been easier to order the plug and play so I didn't have to worry about any wiring. Oh well live and learn. Bill is very knowledgable and a nice guy so I am sure the harness will be good i am just venting a bit I guess
