Kevin, Make sure to get a list together of all the parts you end up needing. We all have "spares" laying around.

hmmm.. I need both fenders, 2nd gen fuse block, ( the fusible link looks pretty rough) also, Id like to take a RB 12a header off someones hands if theres one up for grabs. The guy I got the car from said he tried to run a tank of seafoam through the gas tank and he didnt let it do its thing before he gave up on it due to the idle.....it hasnt run since....oh yeah, it needs a starter too.... The car is pretty solid though and am happy because its a GSL w/ discs & LSD...I know Im forgetting something....Ill think of it later

I think Billy may have a header still. He had one at Zoom-Fest. It had the collector cut off, but he had a 2 pipe flange as well Bwaits has the deals.

We just mounted up that wing on Stu's car billy. looks pretty bad ***.

Kevin, if you want a cheap/easy solution for the fusible links, you can go to advance/autozone and get the one type of fuse, forgot the name at the moment, that plugs right in. You need 2 30A and 1 60A. The are almost a cube, almost 1" in each dimension. That's the method I went with to replace the wires the previous owner put in in place of the fusible links.

Yoyo or DarkDrake can you provide more info and/or a pic of those autozone fuses that plug in?
Sounds like a good idea for a backup if not replacement, ugliness aside.
Thanks

the fuse block is working amazingly. and it helps my bat relocation cuz i can use it as a conductive block inste of arcing everything off my starter hot =). it was like a 25 min job incl mounting and takin outta the box haha. easy ****.

Hope u get it runnin when u do pm me. Make sure u bleed the back brakes before u drive it. I took the rear end cuz i was gonna switch it into the red car but i ended up doing my wheel bearing insted and never bled the brakes cuz it didnt run so i didnt see any point.

Crit/Cletus/YaYo/DarDrake I am confused.
Crit what fuse block is that a pic of?
I thought we were talking about replacing the fusable links (shown in Ray's photo), with fuses.
