Let’s build a race car

[fumanchu182]

For what it is, it is extremely light.

Found some very unsavory items, promptly poured gasoline into glass bowl, dropped item into bowl let it dissolve, tossed onto scrap wood and burnt it. Promptly ripped off gloves after washed hands and face and took a shower. Iykyk but maybe I should spray the car with narcan 😂

Next week ill be doing front suspension! Taking this to the pawn shop tomorrow.

Found a nice Craftsman american made 1/2” ratchet.

Some of the police wiring absolutely scares me. But this whole harness will be ripped out eventually. I’ll add lights to a relay board.

Back halfing it with a 4 link and tubs?

There’s manuals online for the upfitter wiring very thorough

I’ve been through this before. It’s insane how many wire harnesses/“jumper” harnesses are in the car and how much they weigh

If it's real, maybe you made a profit.

That’s where my pinky ring went!

Fu man, I'm late to this party, but we need to talk...

@Marc W None of the original wiring harness will be used. I'll keep some of it around for wires that I can re-use if they are the right length but I plan to use the terminator options or build a relay board. However I say this now but don't have the terminator x in front of me (max) so this is subject to change. What is pissing me off is that I plan to use 1700's but they are not in the drop down, ID provides data but Holley won't just add them to the list... FIC is in there.....

Schedule with budget in mind, this is the long haul...

Holley EFI VVT Harness

I'm excited about the Menscer's, was speaking with a racer that uses 275 tire (name rhymes with weed) and said they will dead hook every time. The Holley is intimidating. I'm going solo on this one and so I'll be learning the system myself and tuning myself.

Engine work... Get it in car, wire it all up, get TH400 kit from super special friend who I will not name...

Get rear end in, maybe re-use wavetrac in housing... between the menscers and aad I am no longer afraid of the axle issue.

Some of the items like cage and what are happening. They are just behind the scenes and subject to my bonus money, however the bonus money will also accelerate some things as well, the items above are after I put money in my savings, pay bills and what I have left at the end of the month.

Items off the car have sold, it's amazing that someone snatched that 5.7 longblock right up.

i hit it with a magnet, no reaction, so that's promising

That’s where my pinky ring went!

well after i cut off the pinky i threw that in the ocean...

hit me up in the dm's my friend.

Your list of stuff all sounds good and I agree with everything you’ve got going on there. One thing to do with your harness when all that is being removed….. keep the connectors for what you’ll want to reuse for stuff like headlights and taillights. You don’t want to be trying to identify those when it’s all in a pile. Best to snip those wires leaving the connectors in place. The ECU and all of the relays and stuff are best placed together on a board where everything can be laid out and accessed. A couple pics of mine. All solid state and placed on the passenger side where the Holley harnesses can pass through the firewall in one place. We left enough length with the harnesses to disconnect the board and pull it back onto the floor to access the computer when necessary.

@Marc W Goals! Lets see if I can get there.
