Quick update, I've got the key cylinder mounted in the back, the ignition switches mounted, aaaand... the front of the console is all dolled up now with cleaner wiring.
As well, the e-brake servo is being installed right after I eat something, have a poopty, and get back at it. I might even throw a video on the update tonight...

Okay, so... I'm done for the night...
Managed to get the inginition switches working, e-brake to work, and all the wiring taken care of. Doesn't seem like much, but then there's three bundles to fish through the car and connect appropriately, with a total of 240 ft of wire... including wrapping, it turns out to being quite a bit...
1. Key Cylinder mounted in the back as a "master" with complete wiring: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...cha/master.jpg
2. The switches - this will be covered by the fiberglass "spine" going in (E-brake/Acc/On/Ingintion: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...a/switches.jpg
3. Dash section of wiring: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u.../wiringtop.jpg
4. Floor Section of wiring: http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...loorwiring.jpg
5. Video Clip - Ignition Firing Up: http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u...t=MOV00294.flv
Tomorrow - the LED lighting for the e-brake will be done... after that... ummm... I'm not quite sure, I've run out of things to do for this weekend.
The sender unit for my instruments is on order, and my door-poppers were bought, so they should be in soon... instruments as well, not to mention seats/harnesses will be coming in. Until those get here... I really don't have much to do except for the rear interior of the car... but, that, as it turns out, wont be touched until next week...
Maybe I'll finish up the interior lighting...

...junk... woke up sick this morning - perhaps too much of the drinky-drinky last night... ...wait, there was no drinky-drinky, I'm actually sick... junk.
Went into town, picked up more supplies, in a few hours I'll hopefully be feeling a bit better to get back to the garage...

forgot to also mention, ordered up the two seats, and 4pt cam harness's. Monday the instruments will be ordered as well. And I can't forget, but thanks go to Pat for help with some extra parts. Door Poppers should be in within a week or two, and well... yeah, guess this means I'll be doing minor things to the body before I know it as well...

How Pissed Am I?
Went in to take a boo at those seats. Yeah, two things caused me to explode... first, it was the wrong set of seats. As well, they wanted me to pay up $200 a seat for the cost of ordering them in... tick-tick-tick-BOOM. Needless to say, still no seats.
I do apologize for the lack of updates this last little bit. Ask Candace why that's happening. No, seriously, things have been a bit busy.
Tonight I layed down the filler over the fiberglassed part on the door panel. Tomorrow I'll sand it down, prime, paint, and clear coat it. Meaning, that the panel will be almost completely complete by hopefully Thursday night.
As well, the vinyl was stripped off of the dash. Holy hell. Let's just say that ate up some time. The piece is now fully ready for fiberglassing tomorrow as well. Not to mention, the emergency light, old key port, and center vent have been filled in and covered. A bit of extreme filling - you'll see in the pics coming tomorrow how much filling was done... but, yes... there's also plans to cut into the top of the dash, but I'll think about that overnight...
Still waiting for door poppers, and just due to time constraints - need to have the car at least drivable for the 5th of May... I'll be holding off on doing the instruments and sound system up. If I can get the dash completed with the door panels... that's enough for me... then back at it on the 9th
