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

Marty.....I fabbed the mounting surface, from a simple sheet of 9" x 9" 22 ga. sheet metal from the Orange Depot. http://www.sherco-auto.com/catalog.pdf page 17 (PG4-MANL) it is a power/ground fused distribution block. I found this by accident, and thought it would work well to keep all of my aftermarket connections in a nice neat centralized area....and it has room for expansion. it tucks up nicely under the passenger side fender, right next to the battery.

well..........the day to fire up the car came and went......had problems with installation issues, I can't get my steering column reassembled (any volunteers in the Chicago area???), can't find replacement door locks...blah, blah, blah.

my uncle (my dad's twin brother) died suddenly on Saturday.....and I just found out today, that I have to have surgery (2 herniated discs in my neck pressing on a nerve)......so.....life is passing up the car in big way.....and I am so close. I was trying to finish by the GoodGuys show the 19th of this month......but that is quickly evaporating as a possibility....and I am not happy about that.

I was able to install a billet oil breather and PCV valve, which was fun.....drilling into my carbon fiber valve covers was nerve wracking.

I am very here of all your trouble and the loss of your uncle.

Before you jump into surgery for your neck you need to call this gentelmen.

My Riding partner is an orthopedic surgeon and this is the only doctor they would even suggest you see for anything spinal related.

and remember the car is just the car and it will be done when it's done.

Protour, where in the 'burbs are you? If you're not too far from me, I wouldn't mind lending a helping hand if its something I can do. Feel free to pm me if you want

sorry to hear about the uncle..as far as door locks what are you looking for the outside tumblers? i bought a matching set of gm style ones off ebay..came with ignition tumbler and door tumblers..

Sorry for your loss and health problems. Sweet car you'll get it done.

that I have to have surgery (2 herniated discs in my neck pressing on a nerve)...

I had the same diagnosis last year, but so far so good. Told him it's gonna have to hurt really bad before they slice into my neck!

Don't worry about the car, it's day will come!

thanks for all the kind words, guys.

Saturn..........I am in Plainfield..........can you reassemble a steering column with your eyes closed? that's the biggest obstacle I have right now!!

[SaturnVUEguy]

Right down 59 from me, although a hassle to get through Naperville.

Eyes closed? I'll have to get back to you on that. Eyes open...maybe, not sure I've re-built a steering column, but how hard can it be?

[protour73]

I have not even begun to tune it yet, it runs rough as hell belching black fuel rich smoke, but after 2 years of work, I finally made it past the sidewalk!!

There are alot of people to thank, for their invaluable knowledge, so I could not have done this complete "Resto-Mod" by myself, and I am very appreciative of their help. This car has been the dream build of a lifetime for me.

It was quite ironic, that on the first run out of the garage.....a city cop is parked on the street behind me...watching....I really got a chuckle out of that.

couple new pics and then the video of the first drive.....

[dropit69]

congrats !!! things looks killer ..thats too funny about that cop back there..lol...get her tuned and tear it up !!

[slck6t9]

Beautiful car and congrat's on getting past the driveway

So did the city cop follow you or get out and take a look after you went around the block?
