looks good but i would trade the clock for maybe some more important like oil pressure?? Just seems to me that the clock is in the most important accessories spot?? Just my .02

Well I have the dash side of the electrical done, so I could mount it in the car and work out the rest of the stuff needed to get the car running. While the Dash is not finished the harness should work fine. It will be removed to put on the finishing touches and covering during the body work stage of the build.

One more thing to check off on my way toward first start.

Here she is as of today. I haven't been taking full on photos to show where I'm at, so today I took a few to show Where the cars progress stands. So I hope you all enjoy the Pics.

Enough for now,
Patrick

This is such an incredible build. Just amazing to me. A complete car pretty much from scratch. I have been watching it for a long time and am always so amazed at how it's coming along. Thanks for posting everything.

Hey finished up some more pieces of the car and now have to concentrate on making it run. Made up my own cold air intake. Why might you ask why nobody wants to use the early Mark VIII for their car it has every thing to do with the intake and where the throttle body is and the fact that nobody makes a cold air kit for it, so once again I find myself making my own parts. Now please do not make fun of my aluminum welding I do not have a lot of practice with it, but I'm getting better, and nothing here is structural so there. Here is the pics.

YOU WONT FIND THIS IN A STINKIN CATALOG

Now I learned something that it was cheaper to buy two kits off ebay and cut them up than to buy all the bends elsewhere, so get two with lots of bends w/tube and can fit up to your MAF.
