Makin progress. I cant find my camera so no pics yet. Not much to see anyway besides a mess of spaghetti behind my dash. Head lights, parking lights, coach lights, tails, turn signals, power windows, fuel pump, starter, gauge lights, are all wired in. The power locks are a real pain so I think I will just forgoe wiring them and just use the key.
Just need to wire in the fans, new ignition, hazzards, horn, 2 gauges, trans-brake, and reverse lights. The only real problem I am encountering is the brake lights wont come on. I might need to make one of the lights on each side a dedicated blinker and the other be the brake light. There has to be a way to make it work. I have to run out to Fastenal and see if they have some long bolts I need for the alternator bracket.
I'm happy with the results I got from tucking the wires from the firewall forward to inside the fender. Looks very clean.
Whats left after wiring? Slap in the C4, hook up the shifter, throw some clamps on the fuel line to keep it snug. Make aluminum door panels. Then cruise till all the major bugs come to light, fix em and then start enjoying it.
Its gonna need some new shoes. I'm thinking of widened 15x10 steelies and MT ET streets. 29x10.5... Not sure what to put up front. I think I'm gonna wait till next year and build up an 8.8. Spool, 4.10's, Moser axles, girdle, 9in housing ends, and disk brakes.
Lol this post is bad...I cant even think let alone type. I probably sound like a idiot but I'm wiped. Make sense of it the best you can.

Got the alt bracket to work for now. I went out to a store in Montville after work yesterday and picked up the bolts I needed. I wish I could find a 6.75in long 7/16 bolt but the 6.25 one I have works fine. Loc-tite and it should be ok.
If I ever need bolts again I'm going to this place, they have a 2 300ft aisles of every kind of bolt you could ever want for $1 per pound. Grade 8...cap screws you name it $1 per pound. I picked up 2 bolts for the alt bracket and 5 bellhousing bolts for the c4. Set me back $1.55 total along with a random $.40 "No Dumping" sign my buddy found, we are gonna use in the bathroom of our house lol.

Maybe, I cut the old ones down to keep shit from flying inside the fender where all the wiring is.

I've been at the mercy of the weather. I have to do it outside cause there aint enough room in the garage to do it. Forcast was rain all week so its still lookin pretty on the bench. its right next to my new bike that I painted this week. I should be droppin the tranny tommorrow if it dont rain.
So much shit to do had to work on the bike and now the ninja is finished; changed oil, filter, brake pads, rebuilt and painted calipers. I painted the frame, wheels, swing arm, and forks. Ripped out the non functional neons, fixed a vacuum leak. Slapped some new tires on it and I'm done. 50mpg and 10's in a 1/4 mile and looks quite sexy now.
After the race car has its tranny and seat so I can cruise it then my red truck goes under the knife. Needs shocks, a few gaskets, and a flywheel.
Now my dad wants to sell his truck, and keep my green truck. Only he wants me to build him a mileage maker truck. I was thinking an exploder 5.0 with an 80's f-150 5 speed. I have the 4bbl intake and carb from the old merk that will go on it with probably the stock cam and a spare MSD box. I just need him to figure it out fast cause I move out on Aug 1st to a house with a few buddies. Then football and classes start back up.
