My 83 Monte Carlo SS carb LS build

I'm jealous of how fast you've built your car. Mine hasn't run since late 2014.

thanks! well money wise i had put money on the side for a while trying to decide what to do ... so when this non rotted out chassis SS came along i felt it was worthy

I'm in NY this crap suxxxxxx

got a avital alarm/keyless entry kit from my buddy who has a car audio business... gonna install that while the dash is still out and all the wires are accessible...

he is going to be making a custom stereo for the car... prob going to use it as one of his demo cars... (4) 8" kicker L7 square subs in a custom box in the trunk, then speakers in the car in custom panels and such i think...

ok so the exhaust is done... it sounds good. only let it run for a minute...

still dreading finishing up the inside wiring, cluster, etc; and getting the dash back in...

starting to drag my feet on this a little... exhausted and drained from doing it after work all the time...

at least once the cluster is in the car is technically drivable so i feel like that is a big mental relief

You're getting closer and closer to being able to drive the car. You should be excited! Lol. Working on a car all the time can get exhausting. You're really close to payoff time though. You'll be enjoying this car soon.

I'd love to see a video of the car running so I could hear the exhaust. Keep up the good work.

How does this function ? Looks like power from battery then supposed to distribute to courtesy lights ? Can't figure out why the powe goes to it but doesn't get distributed across it ...

Looks fine to me. Here's a good resource for wiring diagrams....
