73 Camaro Project
Dude, if the wiring has been hacked by God knows how many people with God knows how many thought processes you might want to just look at a painless wiring harness. You can spend weeks tracing down electrical gremlins and still have some stuff that is suspect, or spend a day replacing the harness and know it's all good. As an added bonus you get plastic fuses instead of glass ones that are coroded in place and shoot glass in your eyes when you try to pry them out...

Finally got the damn fuel pump working, now the car runs great. Still need to figure out the wiring, hook up the shifter and I should be good to go. I will get a video tomorrow.

Car drives now, scared as hell to drive it though. But I moved it to the body work bays, if it stops raining I will start stripping it down maybe tomorrow, most likely Wensday. The car will be painted black, same as my Trans Am.
I forgot my camera so no videos, I also have 3 inch flow master exhaust I might put on.
Here are some pics, sure has a cool stance, needs some meats on the back though but I like the looks of the 205's on the front.

Yeah I have been pretty lucky but remember anyone can do this. I started with nothing and my parents didn't support my car addiction one bit. Everything I have has evolved from the $100 a week I make from working a little over a year. This is my 7th car I bought and my 5th f-body. Just a normal high school kid with a normal job.. The funny part is I make like a 1/3rd of what my friends make a week.

Keep up the good work man. It's nice working for someone who let's you use the facility isn't it? You are making me want to get off my butt and finish my truck. Need more time & money, just have to make it I guess. Can't wait to see your car painted.

In fact I might not have the body work done. After looking around, I don't think I will make enough of a profit to be worth living on the edge. I am just gonna drive it around a little bit and see if I can't get like $5k for it. I worked backwards like this on the 80 T/A and the car didn't run half the time, but it looked nice lol..
