Thanks for the compliments guys! This has been a big project but a fun one, for me at least!

Last couple pics from the other night.

We got the bump box back from Leash. I trimmed the wires and put the molex plug back on. Plugged it up and tested while we were waiting on Ted to get to the shop. It worked! I don't know what was going on originally, or if anything was and Leash just fixed the box or sent us a new one. Oh well I'll take it! This, along with cranking the car, was the last things that needed to be tested electrical wise on the car.

I took the corrugated loom off the bump box wires and put some leftover power braid since it looks so cool

It's going back together! After this weekend it will look like a complete car, interior and all.

More progress today. I had Jonny Medlin with Medlin Glass come remove the rear glass and then install the front and rear Speedglass.

Here are my pics from today

Thadd made some labels at his work and I stuck them on the relays while we were waiting on the glass guys to get there. No more blue painters tape!

This is under the steering column. You can see the harness for the tach and molex plug

This is the transbrake button wires. It will be here along with the bump box button wires, which should be in Tuesday. They will each get a molex plug and be zip tied here. The plastic panel under the steering column will conceal everything.

We got on the dyno today and all went well with the exception of maxing out the 80 lb injectors. I am looking at getting a set of 160 lb Moran's this week. Once they are in we will jump back on the dyno to finish tuning. Heading to the dyno pic with a teaser vid.....
