streetmachine11 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Stellar job creating that harness. Any details about how you made it if you don't mind me asking?Eric, the fuel injection harness is made from 32 gauge wire and the wire harness loom is made from 24 gauge wire wrapped with the 32 gauge wire then it was all painted semi-gloss black. this is my first attempt at detailing a newer car so it took some time but im happy with the outcomethanks for the comment :-)jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetmachine11 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 ok so here is a small update. the temp sensor and wire is in also the hoses with hose clamps amd belt system is on. here is the engine bay with the brake lines from the master cylinder to the abs controller. also both a/c lines with the fill tube and fitting cap. there is also a small body harness. and with the engine set in place with body in place i plan on doing the heater hoses, battary harness, and wheel wells tonight. thanks for looking and questions or comments welcome jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henchmen4Hire Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I really like the engine, I hope mine look that good when I try to do a realistic paint job. Also, could you do a quick walkthrough of how you're going to blend the fender flares to the body? I'm doing the same thing right now and am thinking of simply using white glue to fill the gap between the body and fenders, then letting that harden and sand it till it looks nice.

streetmachine11 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 time for a much needed update. this project has come a long way since the last post i just havent had a chance to post :-) it was finished in time for the gearz entry date but didnt get it entered as I fought with sizing issues on the pics and ran out of time. Anyway, on to the progress Opened the doors and trunk. The black plastic in the engine bay is the raised wheel Wells raised wheel Wells and driveshaft tunnel Painted the wheels with alclaid.
