My name is Earl, and I have a Stainless Steel bolt fetish =)

Currently awaiting a material sample to arrive at the upholstery shop to see if they can repair the bolster wear on my drivers seat pieces. That should be in today or tomorrow.
Other than that my lightened m20 flywheel showed up Saturday and should be going off to the machine shop shortly. I will be having it blasted, resurfaced, and swapping out the starter ring=)
Not bad for $25=D

Stopped by after work to go over what all needs to be shaved and what I am looking for in the bay so they can get it just like I envision it. I also dropped off the other pair of rollers so that they can get me the Breytons back once they do the rear quarter work.
It was awesome seeing the car up on a lift=) The doors are all smoothed out and ready for paint. I couldn't believe they were mine since they were so smooth. My drivers side wasn't bad at all but the passenger side had a series of ripples by the bodyline behind the mirror.
I also peeked at a few of the other cars they are working on and the quality of their work is excellent. I am so happy I went with them for the work.
They will be starting the bay next week so I will hopefully be throwing in some pictures as this progresses.

Periodically. I used to live near there and have some friends over that way.

So I am thinking of relocating the fusebox because I have to take it apart to get the ABS harness out anyway. What were your plans with it? Such as where is it going to be when you are done and how much wire modification will need to happen. I'm thinking the fusebox location would be a great place to put my coolant overflow, that way it's on the same side as the coolant supply and return.

I have yet to do the tucking of the wires under the dash but I am basically clustering the relays and fuses to make them easy to reach with my kick panel out. The grounds and all other wires will be tucked up higher since I will not need to access them. The only extending that needs to be done is for the harness going to the front of the car. For that I got a spare harness and just need to extend my wiring by around a foot. The other tricky part is getting the connectors for the harness through the firewall by the blower . I will be doing that after the car gets back from paint. From conversations I have had, all of that seems to be long enough to fish into there=)

Ok, so you won't have an actual fuse box but the stuff will be bundled and sorta organized above the pedal area? The fusebox itself is excessively large. We can tackle this together then. I am removing my ABS harness without cutting it right now to cut down on the mass of wires are you keeping/ did your car have ABS?
