Mounds of wiring spaghetti, everything to the left is trash and a bit of whats the right as well.

Started making the harness.

Before I forget, HUGE thank you to Jonnie Fraz @ Stealth Custom Fab for making the engine/trans mounts AND doing a crazy amount of welding to put the exhaust together from downpipe back.


Started off with the stock header/manifold... and worked our way back from there.

Filled her up, primed the oil pump with a TON of cranking. And got her started Sunday 4/17.

Modified an old faded CF hood to fit, as my old dropvent came down right on the valve cover.

Went and got tuning done Thursday 4/21.
