Not much getting done, rain and having to work on other cars.
Wire harness is a mess, but I dont need most of it. Got to love a Carb SBC for simple wires.
I have after market gages so the only stock Gage I have to worry about is the tach. If I find one that is the same size as stock I may swap it out as well.

Hey Jake_Dragon,

I enjoyed your build thread and like the way you have gone at it. I have to agree with your mention of the parts store. I drive my V8 GT to the store, ask for a part by part number like a belt or hose or something that fits the engine (which is actually a 79 truck 4 bolt) and start getting all kinds of non-help about not knowing how to find just that piece without a vehicle listing. So now I go in and ask for intake gaskets or a head gasket set or whatever for a 79 Chevy v8 and they don't bat an eye, they are so cool at looking sharp.

Then one of them with ask if I have the truck with me and I point outside to the bright yellow GT and they go quiet. I tell them it is a kit car and I used a 79 Chevy truck that I shortened and narrowed. Gets em every time...

that's damn funny.
Btw, If you want a helping hand. PM me. I'm finally moved to the area. Maybe you should finish yours and take me for a ride. I could use it for motivation to put mine back together.
Looking good so far.

Hey Jake; Cool project keep up the good work. about those Idiots at the parts store, you have to find a good store and keep going there even if it means going out of your way to do so, where I'm at it seems that the farther away I get from my home the better the part stores get, I pass 4 different stores to ge to the good one! Cheers Beers n Gears Joe
