They were made from sheets, hand/roller bent, and welded/patched in, didn't really have a cam at the time. I know there are companys out there that do sell pre made tubs, and i've even see people go to the extent of using trailor wheel wells to utilize as tubs

That was a joke, the ferrari was flipped on a track and caught fire.

Took about 10 months (I think) but i got her started. Between School and this it's been hard keeping up. For a while i wasn't getting spark on the first harness me and my friends extended/tucked. I had no clue why, friend of mine stripped down the whole harness and found that the coil wires were burnt along with some other wires. Turns out this harness was in an engine fire.

ther_beatingA_Dead So, acquired another harness, plugged everything in as it should from factory and she started right up. I should have done that with the first harness but being that the motor along with anything else in the bay was taken out i just had alot on my plate to deal with/remember. So instead of going as crazy as i did on the first harness i'm just doing a mild tuck on this one, just extending the igniter harness as well as distributor and starter/alternator harness, however i may have to extend some more but as of now that's the most noticeable section of the harness in the bay...good news is i'm using the failed oem harness from the first time to extend wires with so all wires look to be oem. Here's a pic from today while extending the ignitor plug wire,

Dunno how to post vids, but here's a link to my FB with the first and second start up vid,
I'm aware i look 12 and act 10.

First startup.

Second.

As of now, i still gotta finish extending/tucking, and then finish my V-mount setup as well as piping and then some misc undercarriage stuff along with mounting my aero and finally laying paint and carpet down. In the market for a Radiator, My I/C is 18.5 end tank to end tank and about 11-12inches tall ( :jerkit2-1: ). If anyone has recommendation, i'm all ears. Spring's about 2-3 weeks away, seeya guys soon !

BlitzRPS13 · 03-02-2010, 06:35 PM

That's some good work in the engine bay.

Temporarily secured harness onto frame, however i don't trust zip ties for such a thick harness, so will be looking for some legit hold downs this weekend. Also, Plexiglas enclosure will be made and mounted for the fuses/relays in fender wells. Approx 13 more to-do's till i start worrying about exterior. Deadline for her is June, painted, running, tuned and ready to be driven. Fingers crossed.
