worried about them bumping the bracket. On a side note you will have to be one hell of a contortionist to get back there.

Here is a side shot of what it looks like and I am open to your advice as I this is all new to me.

Thanks for the side pic. That is all wrong and it will never be perfect but it can be better.

Turn the harness bar around so the welded tabs are on the back side but still pointed down. Then bolt the harnesses on the back side. I would consider bolting them on with the angle going forward even, assuming it will fit that way.

Side bar. Nobody you like should be sitting in that back seat with that harness bar there.

Definitely and exciting day, Marty! I'm happy for you! It looks great rolling down the driveway on it's own power!

CONGRATS MARTY!!!!

Next time you need to fill up the cooling system on an LS, keep the top hose loose and fill from it, it will ensure you get the entire block full with hardly any air left in the system. It also bypasses the thermostat so filling is much quicker. Basically the same idea as pulling the thermostat housing from a SBC/BBC and filling the cooling system from the thermostat hole in the intake. Makes a huge difference in the end.

Get some smiles per mile son, you deserve it!!

Thank you Matt I can't tell you how happy I was to get it out of the garage.

Hi Jeff,

Funny thing I was going to call you the other day to see how you were doing and I will give that a try next time.

Not many as I have had so much going on the last couple weeks. Hopefully next week I will be back on the car after work.

ps I have gone out and done small things when I can find an hour here or there.

Rule #1 Don't go to Sema when you are building a car that may or may not go back to Sema. Why, Because you are going to see some really cool stuff.

Like this.

and this, Yes I am going to get a hold of the guys at TechFlex and order some of the red/back wire sleeve.

I am pretty sure it was Mark that said this. If you have an hour to spare head out and do one of the small projects. So, I installed
a Burn Out Switch to prevent my friends from doing a burn out when I am not around.

Cleaning up the Fuel Pump wiring.

I still need to finish the taillight wires.

Pitman Arm Nut replacement.

I also ordered Scissors so I can trim the carpet.

Original Nut - Kinda Ugly

Much Better (( 11-11-23 ))

MJ,

I’m guessing it will also stop the wife & kids, the family dog, nosy neighbors too?

I started working on the drivers side door panels

The table is back out and so are my daughter towels from when they were little.

Looks like I need four more clips

I placed the template on the door and started trimming the panel to make them work.

Way off

This is a very tedious task so be patient.
