    Added more lead.

    March Performance just surprised me. They will sell me individual brackets from different kits to piece together a serpentine system for a mid mount ac, electric waterpump, mid mount driverside Alt. Im amazed at how easy that was. The rep on the phone looked up all the part numbers from different kits to put this together and the guy acually knew what he was talking about. Wow thats different.

    Getting ready to go to Atlanta a few days next week. I was going to pull my frt bumper and drop it off for plating but changed my mind. It don't look that bad. Maybe later on.

    New plugs,cap rotor and wires. Also finished up my power distribution center....former washer bottle. Cleaned up the wiring with some loom from the PDC to the batt and alternator. Its nice having a relay center under the hood to get some of the loads off the old wiring. I have no need for a washer bottle but its still there and looks stock and functional. Also found a date stamp on the washer bottle I didnt notice before. Hav a pic on my phone. Its a black ink stamp. Kind of cool.

    ,
    If you do it, just cut the vertical edge of the drip rail and leave the spot welds. I didnt, I shaved the whole thing off and had to weld the 2 sections back together major PITA:banghead:. Ill flip the car on its back later in the year to lead the underside of the roof lip.

    Thanks for the advice on Facebook too, Craig. I'll be looking into Eastwood for the lead kit and, once I get done working on the interior of my garage, I'll be getting back to my project full bore :bananaman
