I assume their are options to leave the turn signals, headlights, brakelights, etc.. working? Any idea how much they cost? I would rather spend time working on it than spend another $500-600.

this is the best way to do it IMO so long as you can keep a broad scope of how it all fits/works together when its done, but having small projects and finishing them up helps it keep from being so overwhelming.

you have to do that or you'll get super-frustrated very quickly....always feels good to stamp a "DONE" on a subproject. I also find to work on 3-4 "larger" subprojects together so I can get a change of pace from time to time...I guess I like drag racing due to my short attention span

It has been a while since I have seen prices but count on a few hundred bucks at least and remember that wiring gets old (age), I personally perfer to work with new wiring that way I don't have anything to worry about.... that and I hate sitting there cutting wires and firguring out what goes were.

Haven't had a chance to work on the car lately but with the weather warming up and the time about to change again I should be able to work on it more. Just ordered my Kirkey seat and bracket so I'll be putting those in this weekend. Also need to pull the gas tank and then the car will be ready for a cage.

The class I'm planning on running is a baby 275 class, lol. Most cars are in the 5.60-5.70 range. I would love to do a 25.3 cage but this build is already going to take forever and that would push it back further.
