My Build: The Good, The Bad & The Progress

I finally found the grounding cable to the AC and alternator in my boxes of fail today and was able to finish off the wire tuck (or my very novice version of one). I drilled a hole down through the metal by the battery tray and popped the cable out through the small cutout piece (the one closest to the firewall) in the engine compartment. Its too hot for pics today.
I also mounted the power steering reservoir bracket that just came back from paint. It looks nice, but I should have had the gold pieces on the rubber washers painted as well. I guess that will wait for the winter.
My day started with a drive down to Hill's Garage to drop off the components to the fuel system and dual pump. Frank will get everything mocked up and then I will have the car dropped there for a day or two before it heads to F:T for the motor install.
I got to meet a new Mid-A member while I was there, Rae-Z (sp?). Rae was getting his first mods done and seems like a very cool guy. He's a friend of Barnabas, so its just a matter of time till he starts modding hard
.
If all goes well I should be 2-3 weeks away from completion

Cool.... always looking forward to having some win!!
I picked up the turbos from Blouch - they look the same as the last 2 pairs, so no pics.
Heads should be shipping today from HeadGames - Dave promised me moar pics... still waiting bro... put down the beers and pick up the camera for a second![](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/icon17.gif)
Things are moving along at Justice on the shortblock and I will get the wheels back on the car this weekend and prep it for travel. I got some disappointing news on the AAA towing front. It turns out that they will not tow a car with the motor missing, even if you have the premium membership - FAIL!!!
- there goes another $400 in towing fees (thats $1200 in towing so far on my build for those of you that are keeping score).
