yes it is. i hate starting projects like this because i keep adding to the list. i was just gonna fill holes and paint, now i moved the rest of the wiring to behind the dash, and im gonna hide the brake lines the best i can. moving the battery to the back, hiding the msd box, and thinking about making a custom windshield washer tank with a remote fill so i can get rid of the enormous hole on the driverside inner fender area. what do you guys think?

Looking great in my opinion!

I'm subscribing to see how your going to hide your brake line though.[sm=Flahssssss.gif]

I got a little more done yesterday. Not as much as i wanted though. Built an aluminum battery box, and made some filler panels for the front where the airbox, and battery used to be. i think it will look nice and save me some bodywork.



thanks for looking, and yes i know the shop is messy. ill clean it up sooner or later.
