Today I got ALL OF THE THINGS in the mail.
To recap the madness going on inside here mostly me talking to me. I have opted to get correct c.c. plates for the car, insert picture of UPR billet aluminum stuff oh these will look so good in that semi gloss engine bay.
I also decided to rewire all the extras that I put into the car fans, Wmeth, fog lights will now come thru a fuse/relay box. I will be detailing this as I build it out. I also ordered runs of GLX automotive wire to build a mini harness for the extras coming out of the megasquirt. I do not wish to mangle the factory wiring any further than I must. So my fan, WB, Wmeth outputs will be in there own harness along with a few spares and the input from a Hobbs switch I plan to implement for safety on the Wmeth system. I may even add a solenoid to the supercharger bypass to hold it open in the event the car is cold or under a certain tps position. O the possibilities..... oh and a knock sensor I'm adding one of those as well a simple gm one wire on/off type. Thanks to @xecute for the writeup on that.
I begin the wire tuck in the am.

As usual I have worked myself up to the deadline my wife gave me for car stuff today. Now I must whip myself together in a matter of minutes for a dentist appointment and a bunch of other crap I could care less about....

I almost have the driver side wire tuck done, I still need to get some 3/8 hose to split in half to cover the body seam the wires run against and grab a few more of those metal hangers with the rubber insert... those are great for running battery cable. I extended some wires and mounted the stfarter relay down under the windshield washer tank (yes I grabbed up a tank). I bent the horn up out of the way and thru bolted the relay in place.

My plan is to run a battery cable around the front of the car with the headlight harness, this will end up at a wiring block for the relay box. From there a cable will run a short way to the passenger strut tower where I am mounting a 150A circuit breaker for the alternator cable. Some of this wiring will end up exposed out of necessity and convenience. I still need to fit the shield in here hopefully everything fits ok. I may also mount the water meth pump down here not sure yet having it in the bay will make adjustments easier.

Today is my second day back from vacation.... I forgot how much work sucks
I am working diligently at trying to get this wire tuck finished but like always other things need to be done as well. So I have replaced/rewired the fog light harness from the fuse block. I also ran a wire with the starter feed to trigger the relay on the mini starter, I have had it wired jumped for years and get that hanging bendix.

Circuit breaker for alternator after I get the fuse box in i will look at this again not really a big fan of the wire routing here

Wiring up the fuse/relay box pinning every wire is time consuming.

Thanks! its all the little things that really make a build come together, I want fresh paint on the car but its not in the cards. faded matte black is the look all winter [in Florida that's the only time you can put the top down and not sweat to death]

Youre making me wish I would have done a little of that while my engine was out. However, I do like that my bay still resembles a stock look with just a tubular GT40 intake. My one pet peeve is the harness on the passenger side that run up over the top of the CC plate. I may just try to do something there.
