got all the gauges working and the keyless entry... drove it down the road and it feels fast...shifts thru all the gears, stops... still have so much work left !
Outstanding!
 
the whole interior is filled with crap still and there are wires everywhere still and nothing is bolted in... (dash wise) so its still overwhelming to be in there lol

trying to button up the dash and the alarm wiring this week and bolt dash down... then prob will give it a little break before doing the seals (water leaks in passenger side floor) door seals, roof rail seals ? whatever there called, then new carpet, seats, floor shifter... holding off on the console for now.
I'm going to have to find some pictures of the wiring Colossus I worked on wiring up my brother's 78 Z28. You might have hung yourself.
 
gauges all work, fans work, car runs good temp , ran it down a back road it shifts and stops

ordered tires for the wheels
Outstanding.
 
Front wheels are on 17x8 0 offset with a 245/45/17 zeetex (literally the cheapest tire my supplier had)

rear are going to be 275/40/17 on 17x9 -12 offset... Mickey thompson DR

I really like the color combo on that car.
 

it made it down the block ! lol i was playing with the carb settings a little and the timing on the LS box. it was running crazy lean at idle , adjusted more fuel 1/8th of a turn and it evened it out to like 14-15 at idle. when you mash on it around 12. need to play with it more and have so much more work to do...

I am going to try to register it this week so I can drive it a little more and fine tune it.
