Now that you mention it I may need to keep that. Put a coffee label on it and use it in the engine bay. After all, the build would never have been possible without large quantities of liquid alertness.

Whenever you get a chance. Like I said, I kind of have my hands full with this part of the project at the moment.

Will you have a way of bringing it back to KS with you from DGRR? Or is shipping better?

We'll probably have to go with shipping, as I'll be flying this time. I don't think I'm going to have the car together in time.

I finally got the rear portion of the driver's side wheel well done. It was a pain as I had to make it from small sections of flat sheet, heat and bend them, then weld the whole mess in. The welds are smoothed and I have primer on it anyway.

I'm not that fancy. I just want to get it back on it's wheels and moving.

Currently paying the price for trying to work on a GM product. I need to get back on the RX-7, but the @#$%* truck has other ideas. The up side is that it gives a perspective on just how good the Mazda engineers were, (and just how bad GM is).

I keep looking at it and wishing I was working on that instead.

I've been through 3 engines and two chassis' with this POS and still no joy. All of my spares turned out to be garbage and the original still won't run. If you think Microwreck ECUs are bad, try screwing around with the early stock GM TBI ECU. Finding wiring diagrams and information is almost impossible (Chilton and Haynes books must have been written by people working at GM, utterly useless), it's as if GM thinks they're data is Top Secret. I'm at the point where I'm about to yank the whole works and push it off to the side, until I can afford to build an old school carbureted and HEI ignited small block. They were the last thing Garbage Motors built that was worth a crap. This thing is just not worth the headaches.
