Wow!
Lots of time put in for sure. Not excited to do it on my own car, but I'm a ways off.

I'm actually excited to get to electrical stuff. I think it's fun, and you get "instant gratification" when you hook something up and it works! Not to mention it's close to the end of the build!

Update. Just received the polished stainless door strikers from MadMooks. These are CNC machined and assembled to precision. More bling in the places you see it often...

First time? Wow. WHAHOO is right!
Congrats Paul!!....I know the feeling. Mine fired right off too. I was even told I "cheated" and fired it before I had people over to watch it start for the first time.

What's next is to figure out why it won't start again...
After 3 or 4 times of starting it up and letting it idle for a minute or so (it fired right up each time), the 5th time it just cranks but doesn't fire.
Have verified 50# of fuel pressure at the fuel bar, and have checked all fuses inside. Nothing obvious...
Need to pull a plug and do the spark test to see if it's throwing spark (I suspect its not for some reason) and then get into some more serious diagnosis. I don't have a ODB2 reader yet, so I may get one now to see what (if any)engine codes are being thrown.

Got an OBDII reader hooked into it last night, and it hasn't thrown any codes...
Gonna check to see if any spark at the plugs while cranking...then work backwards from there.

Have you disabled the VATS (security system)? I thought VATS would only allow it to run a few seconds, but I suppose that could vary.
