hey i was messing around under the hood and painted some stuff like the valve cover and some sheet metel... i pulled some ground cable that was right infront of the radiator... thinkin it was for my se fog lights, which where already out... could this be why my ignition fuse keeps blowing? i went inside to start the car and smoke started comming from under the dash. now everytime i put the ignition on ON the fuse blows.. i dont know where the blk ground wire connected to... any imput would be appriciated thanks.

Sounds like youre shorting out something. Find out what the wire you pulled was, first.

well, you know you pulled a ground cable, so did you re-attach it? and yes no ground = blown fuse. also if you re-attached the ground cable on top of the painted whatever then it will make shitty contact and maybe no ground. One end of the ground will go to chassy (unpainted metal part) the other side...well you have to remember that yourself.
btw judging by your sn do you own s chassy or a fc and i think you mispelled drifter
post some pics of the g wire and the area were you pulled it from
