My Cusco strut bar ended up crushing my harness against the engine. The combination of the bar under load in a corner and me going WOT at the apex was enough torque on the engine for a machined edge to cut through the harness, pull several wires loose from their connectors, and short a few things to the engine block.
A few pictures that I took of the car:






Images are pretty big, so sorry for the download time - no time to adjust sizes right now. I'll try to go back later and convert them down.

Street Rod weekend here in my hometown. The old guys love to go around town revving and feeling badass. I can play that game, my V8 is loud as shizz and turns heads like a **** 
I feel a spirited driving session coming on and then a solid wash and wax.

I'm not sure that I can run the APS with my hood?
Hopefully ordering my hood pins and NRG hood dampers today.

Any problems with that hood and the Cusco? There's one for sale locally I was thinking of picking up and color-matching.

productive day... wash/waxed soo shiny.. then oil change + change the oil pressure sensor now my gauge works properly once again
nothing i love more then to see that thing jump up and down all day! question tho since iv never had it working what should the gauge read at operating temp idoling then when i get on the gas how high should it go?

Most of my interiour removed right now, got the factory seatbelts out, about to get the curtain airbags out and strip the detening material from under the glove box. Still in the air about removing the upper speaker shelf before I start to reassemble.
Once the interiour is back together , pass side harness mounts welded in, it is suspension time and start building the splitter for the V2 bumper.
Got dam I'm busy
