Good luck with your building. I hope you don't have to sell the car. It will be great when it's finished.

Thanks, I'm ready to go, was trying to get it done by Christmas since I have almost 2 weeks off, then, I could organize and do a little work on the car, but, won't happen, so I'll work on the Nova, wire up the fuel pumps, clean the carb, fire it up,

Steve, I have read this entire thread start to finish while working 1 shift here at the GM plant in Arlington, TX and found it very entertaining and informative. When I saw your post about your job I thought you should come to Texas for Space-X! It's only 90 minutes away from me! Appreciate all your info and good luck on everything here on out!

Nice Mac box by the way!
