small updates... received my driveshaft which is quite pretty, imo, and a shame that it's buried underneath the car. I also hooked the battery up this weekend and started testing the wiring. I had a few bugs (to be expected) and got most of them fixed. The real bummer is the car wouldn't start. After getting a little help it turns out I plumbed the fuel lines/ regulator all wrong (resulting in way too much fuel pressure) and need to add a return line after all. So parts are ordered and I'll be doing some revisions over the next couple of weeks. Live n learn. Stay tuned.
After plumbing in a return line to get the fuel pressure right, and discovering that I had the 12v switched power line hooked up to a terminal that didn't have power when the key was in "start" it now runs. I even drove it, too. Next is to get an alignment and I ordered some new mufflers that are quieter as I want my wife to ride in this, ha ha
Well, this weekend was a waste of my time. I spent most of it installing my "advance keys" keyless ignition and alarm, and the last couple of hours ripping it all back out. What a POS product. don't waste your money on it. From the instructions being inconsistent at best (at least 4 different errors) to incomplete instructions (had to "learn some things" it doesn't state in in the instructions) to the unit just not working (couldn't get my car to start with it, also couldn't exit out of 3 modes that just kept cycling back n forth- armed, alarm itself- door lock delay function). This is my nice evaluation of it. I will be a bit more thorough with them. guess I'll go back to what I know works- a simple ignition.

SO glad you posted that! Sucks you put so much energy into it. I'll scratch that off my list and stick with good old fashioned keys.
Congrats on getting the car running to! That's huge man!!
