ahhhh, but its true,

I have bought almost everything for my car from here, minus the Ricks Tank, Fikse wheels, and the G-bar rear-end kit,

you'd have to update the harness, to change the fuse box, just find a switched power wire, and get rid of the wire under the fuses, get yourself some butt connectors and heatshrink, put them together,

out of curiosity, why would the harness have to be updated?

nothing really too exciting, but I got the rear brakes together, waiting on the drums which come in thursday. still have to order the master cylinder, should be very soon. I wanna pull this out of the garage and into the driveway to do interior work, lighting sucks in the garage!

One thing that I am very scared to screw up is the electrical, definitely not in my wheelhouse, and wiring in these guages is got me a bit nervous, LOL.

i used leds in my buick with aftermarket gauges in the dash, worker pretty good.

I personally dont know a way of intergrating a new style push in fuse box to the old style GM harness,

Since I'm going LSX motor in my car, I'm getting a www.americanautowire.com harness, but that would be down the road for you,

I'll worry about the fuse block at a later date, I want this on the road by sept.

Ordered gas struts and ball studs today to do the trunk mod that someone linked to me on teamCamaro.com. My torsion bars are crap.

Here's the link to the thread for the gas struts. http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=169354

Great Plan, been doing a little work to my Nova, cleaned up the interior, prepping the floor to fix a couple holes, one is where the 4 spd shifter came thru, add some dynamat xtreme, installing the old carpet, and mounting the Scat Procars, Like to get it running in August, then update to the Wilwoods on the front,

Yes!! sounds great. I'm sick of having this thing sitting in the garage instead of taking it to cruise nights!!! shipment from summit arrives tonight, very excited, LOL.

got the speedo and tach in, they look good. I've figured out how to run the led's for the signals, just gotta find the best place for them, not much room here for that, LOL. also got the drums painted and on. The fuel level guage will go in once I get a chance to make a 4 gauge holder. can't seem to find one, the biggest I can find is 3.
