Wow, this project is just amazing. I just read this entire thread. I have been working on mine Trans Am just as long with nowhere near the results or progress that you have.

Keep it up and don't get discouraged, it will be an awesome car and the way you have built it is like no other.

Hey, tiny update wrapped my head around the parking brake. Wow the five pound bag is getting real full, I think it's going to burst soon. No room and calipers where the cable housing moves to actuate the brake led to some good old head scratching.

Problem solved

I won't bore you with pics of the calipers those everyone has seen at some time. I made my own cables (I work for a truck equipment supplier so I had access to the parts and tooling) but still had to machine custom ends to get them to work.

Well, It's time for another installment from "I really don't have a life". I wanted to run the battery cable along the frame before I took the car off the jack stands, Yaaaa-Riiiiight (think Office Space). Turns out I would have to install some of the fiberglass panels I made two winters ago before I could do the job properly. So I had to refit, clean up, and coat them with bedliner before putting them in, but hey it's done now. Have the main battery cable and the ground run. Time for the pics....
Refit the trunk parts (done).

Should I go with or with out the battery box?

I have the fuel tank out for a better view

battery cut off switch

Rear panel with access cutout not mounted yet

And finally out to the starter

Now once again it's time to start begging for feedback so I may receive the energy to keep going, so lurkers speak up, old friends keep it up.

I think you should go with a box. I doubt tech anywhere will accept the fiberglass as a firewall. With out the wall, the battery must be in a box.

Oh, and yeah, its still looking freaking awesome.

Looks incredible.

I suggest that you run a battery box. Some of the rules may stipulate that you must have a box and it would stink to have to go back and put one in later.

did i mention that the car looks incredible.

Hey, I think I have the under car stuff run, now I can get this thing on the ground. Ye-Ha so I put her shoes on and set her on the ground. How does she look? I think with the engine in and body on it should sit down a little more. Don't fret about the roll bar height it is just sitting on the mounts not in them.

Time to go I have to put her back in the dollies
