That's pretty cool. I was wondering if you were even going to be driving it this year.

got a fair amount of work done today......

Re-installed the remote mounted boost and fuel pressure senders....added a T in front of the boost sender and remote mounted the Hobbs switch for the KB BAP, turned out pretty nice.
Got the wide-band wires routed/re-installed(not exactly where I want it to go but good enough for now you know.
Battery looks to be dead, had it on the trickle charger for the last few days, only getting 10.8 volts
ended up mounting the KB BAP on the old Magnacharger I/C reservoir bracket(again, not my first choice but it ended up being a time saver non-the-less).
other small details.....such as having to bend the alternator to battery bracket 90 degrees vs. the stock 45 degrees due to the new wire routing.
Went through and started tightening up all the things I kept thinking "I'll get to it"
Re-installed blower belt, basically a bunch of small tasks.
