Brake booster ships on Friday. I'm going to plumb in a cut-off to the rear brakes for burnouts. I'm doing all new brake lines in the engine bay so might as well do that now. Haven't touched the car since Christmas so I got a lot of work ahead of me. Right the now the battle-plan includes:
-cleaning up wiring under the hood (mainly moving the alternator wire away from sensors)
-getting the master cylinder and booster back on to measure for new brake lines
-take them back out to get the engine back together and in the car
-reinstall master cylinder and finish the powersteering/hydroboost lines with everything in place
-finish the bondo work on the hood and get it painted if it ever gets warm enough
REALLY don't wanna be working on this thing come April but working weekends and 12 hour days is going to make that tricky. It's time to pay some bills and I'm stuck on the idea of adding boost to the 408 stroker when I get around to it.
Getting $2200 back in taxes plus I'm starting a sidejob with my old boss. Going to try and not over-complicate things by throwing shit into the mix but I'd really like to throw in the Holley ignition system to work with my EFI. Haven't decided yet on whether I want to throw that into the mix or not. Would be nice to be able to dial in both fuel and spark from a laptop especially if I end taking it to get properly tuned somewhere.
