Bottom of page 3? The majority of this stuff you wrote in one post, then again in another post. Theres another instance of it higher up the page. Maybe its my browser, but it definitely looks like you have duplicated material in some posts.

Yeah might have double posted lol, I was half asleep while going through the thread last night. I have too much money in this thing to admist to, best part is not 1 part has been paid for by plastic. Its all been paid for by hard earned cash money. It still creeps me out a little to hear ppl say such things as "you have given my life new meaning" or "omg this car is insane", I just look at it as another car and think to myself, there is a ton of nicer cars out there. Anyways I have another update for ya:
8/14/10: Well my mission has failed lol. Not only did I not get the car painted, I didn't get it running either. There is good excuses on both however, the fuel rail decided it wants to leak so I am going to have to replace it. We have tried teflon tape, tried using a liquid sealer... The car isn't painted because point blank it was way too hot out (heat index above 100) and I would rather put it inside my dads booth instead of risking it in my garage and getting dirt and bugs in it. Most of my time last night and today was wasted on trips back and forth to various auto part stores lol.
Now I did make some progress haha. Let me start by giving a big thanks to my Dad, Brent and Nick for coming over and helping me these last 2 days. My dad was a wiring machine, he extended my chassis harness so it would reach my engine harness (about 40 wires). While he was working on that me and Brent decided to mount the battery box. I then descovered that my battery cable from previous car in which I had the battery kit in was too short. This started one of the many adventures haha. I went to every parts store only to find that either they didnt sell cable long enough or they wanted $120 dollars for a 20ft piece. I ended up getting the cable from Home Depot for $1.36 a ft, so fuck you Napa, Autozone, Advance and Car Quest.
The one big thing I did manage to get done was re-installing my dash and all the remaining interior I had taken out. Also got the gauges ran and wired up. I also went and sat for over an hr waiting to get tags for it. I also got alot of other small things done but too tired to list them all. So for now heres a few pics...
Battery Box Mounted:
Dash Re-Installed:
Tomorrow I plan on painting the part of the fender that bolts on under the hood. Getting the bumper and fenders in primer. Get fenders back on the car. I also have to go pick up a crank pulley from a friend and then re-check the timing and valves to make sure they are good to go.

Whew whoo!!!! No more leaks!!!! Big thanks to my buddy AJ for tig welding the fitting to the rail for me
Tomorrow I am going to reset the timing just to make sure its 100% right, recheck valve clearance, get crank pulley and alt belt on. Then I am going to pull the plugs and crank it over for 30 seconds to prime the oil pump. I was going to do all this today but had other things to take care of lol.
After that its a waiting game on my buddy to come tune it on initial startup. Gives me some time to double check all my AN fittings, all bolts and stuff like that. Cross your fingers cause I just might get this thing running and painted by this Sunday
