Well I got the upper control arm plates and the patch panel for the shifter hole welded in over the last few days. The welds suck *** but are very strong and get the job done. I need to finish up the lowers now and that is it for the rear suspension work.
I'm going to paint the entire bottom of the car with por 15. Also going to do the cage and inner floor pan once it comes back for the cage guy doing the cage work.

I just got the msd 6ls box back from them. It checked out ok. So now I need to find out why it does not want to start. I'm getting a laptop pc next week so I can put the software on it from msd. It has power and ground but no tach signal.

I just bought a used meizer race pump and adj alt bracket. So I will be selling my meizer street pump. $400 shipped if someones interested in it, PM me.

If the motor checks out ok, I may just pull it to put in the camaro with the ls6 int and Torquer v3 cam. Then go ahead and built this 383 short block I have and put it in the mustang with the T Rex, afr 205's and vic jr with the 750 demon carb. Boy, would that be nasty!!!

I'm not sure just yet.

Well I got the upper and lower control arm reinforcement plates on and welded up some holes in the floor. I also pulled the hood and left fender and frt bumper to start on the wiring nightmare. I think I'm going to gut all the wiring and put in a painless race car harness with switch panel.

I also still have not been able to get the car running. The msd box is not putting out any spark. I even tried re wiring it with no luck. MSD customer support has been of no help. They said get a laptop, so I did and it has windows vista on it and the usb to serial cable driver is not compatible with vista. So now I need to hook up an old desk top to it with 98 or xp on it and try again. I'm sick of this ****. I feel like I'm wasting time, but I want to hear it run before I pull the motor to put in my camaro. So I can start building my 383 for it.

Here's a few pics. Check out this wiring hack job. And no it was not me who did it...
