Blown03SVT Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Stellar job creating that harness. Any details about how you made it if you don't mind me asking?

streetmachine11 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Stellar job creating that harness. Any details about how you made it if you don't mind me asking?Eric, the fuel injection harness is made from 32 gauge wire and the wire harness loom is made from 24 gauge wire wrapped with the 32 gauge wire then it was all painted semi-gloss black. this is my first attempt at detailing a newer car so it took some time but im happy with the outcomethanks for the comment :-)jason
streetmachine11 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Posted March 8, 2013 ok so here is a small update. the temp sensor and wire is in also the hoses with hose clamps amd belt system is on. here is the engine bay with the brake lines from the master cylinder to the abs controller. also both a/c lines with the fill tube and fitting cap. there is also a small body harness. and with the engine set in place with body in place i plan on doing the heater hoses, battary harness, and wheel wells tonight. thanks for looking and questions or comments welcome jason
jrherald420 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Great work!! At first i thought the harness looked pretty bad but with it all hooked up and the engine sitting in the bay its a great addition! And again great work!! What color did you use for the valve covers?

streetmachine11 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 got a lot of progress done in this project. to get the ride height where i wanted it i raised the wheel wells and wheel well openings about 1 1/2 to 2 scale inches. before the drop.... wheelwell modifications after the raised wheel wells, lowerd suspension and fender flares and the spoiler rear spoiler with front splitter. thanks for looking and questions or comments welcome jason

Johnny1973 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Nice color choices.Body work started to look good.
Henchmen4Hire Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I really like the engine, I hope mine look that good when I try to do a realistic paint job. Also, could you do a quick walkthrough of how you're going to blend the fender flares to the body? I'm doing the same thing right now and am thinking of simply using white glue to fill the gap between the body and fenders, then letting that harden and sand it till it looks nice.

streetmachine11 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 time for a much needed update. this project has come a long way since the last post i just havent had a chance to post :-) it was finished in time for the gearz entry date but didnt get it entered as I fought with sizing issues on the pics and ran out of time. Anyway, on to the progress Opened the doors and trunk. The black plastic in the engine bay is the raised wheel Wells raised wheel Wells and driveshaft tunnel Painted the wheels with alclaid. For my first attempt im happy with the results. Drilled out crossmember thanks for looking and questions or comments welcome jason
