    Got all my wiring done. Next I’m getting a front end alignment done on Wednesday then trying to figure out what brand and size tires to go with.

    Pulled the transmission. Had 2nd gear fixed and now she runs and drives good. Took it to a car show and got 3rd place in my class. My dad went with me so it was a pretty special day for both of us.
