Marty.....what the "poop" on the Cruise Night???

Just the local Friday Night Cruise night.

I'm actually bringing the car home to wash & wax it before it heads to Detroit for the Eye on Design Show.

I'm still working under the hood on all of the electronics.......2 headlight relays, Spal electric fan relay, amp power.......slow but sure on that stuff......I'm taking my time to hide as much as possible, which takes 10X as long.








Installed MAD Electronic's remote starter solenoid..........

I love the blacked out chrome

lovit.

Lokar dipstick.......


Found a good clean solution for power distribution and a central place to ground everything under the hood





and an Undercover Innovations closeout panel...looks nice and contains hot underhood air from running through the radiator again.

What a clean looking build, great work!

Nice and clean with the wiring. Engine looks good too.

love the single wide stripe and the correct full front bumper, cool. I like the blacked-out look too, like we did alot in the early '90's. I like chrome too but yours is real clean, well done.

just like alot of the more unique parts that I put on this car, I found this distribution block by accident......even though I had been looking for a solution like this for months. http://www.sherco-auto.com/catalog.pdf page 17 the PG4-MANL

I don't know where I left off, but this build is getting close to the end for me........it's almost time to turn the key for the first time!! Next weekend is D-day
I'm a glutten for punishment......so I polished my entire Pypes 2.5" stainless exhaust system myself......this system fit quite well right out of the box....I used stainless band style and stepped band style clamps throughout the system.

.............next Saturday!!!!!!!!!! lol

I went with the Pypes 2.5" kit with X-pipe and their Race Pro mufflers....dual all the way back to the bumper. This kit fit like a glove everywhere!!!! I had to take out about 10" from the downstream side of the x-pipe section to situate the mufflers in the indentations of the undercarriage where the rear seats are......so they get tucked up as tight as possible. Of course, I spent 4 or 5 days before installation polishing it.....could have bought it polished...but what fun would that hae been??
