haha as much as I want to rag on ya for the velvet thing like everyone else has, i'm going to restrain myself. After all you're going to have enough of a time rewiring the whole car. But hey look at it this way, after you're done you'll know every inch of that fb.
Best of luck bro.

Update
I removed a bunch of useless items off of the passenger side wheel well. IE Windshield washer liquid pump, Charcoal Canister, Mounts LOOKS GOOD ALREADY!
I removed the AC PUMP, COndensor, Radiator, AC didnt work anyway and I dont feel like paying all the money to upgrade it to the new FREON.
Began removing front clip wiring harness.
A FREE 13B engine.....Oh yeah, I heard about a guy who lives about 20 miles from me who has a 13B that doesnt run, and he will give it to me for free if I just come and pick it up. WORD! I hope I can rebuild this one, if not no lost cause, cuz its free anyway well ok $8 for gas to go get it. I will pick it up tommarrow, and post pics.......

NO SHOW all the way..I hate $200,000 show cars....I like to drive my creations....as for the bass, I always have had a fascination with bass. I guess this project isnt about showing off, or even about building a awesome ride. Its about me, my own two hands, and something to at least be proud of and say I accomplished something worthwhile.
