    about 2 months ago I totaled my 92 by going air born and driving through a brick wall. that was the end of my car but since the car had a good drive train, i decided to strip the car down, scrap it and use all the parts that survived the accident. i have been documenting the build with a series of videos and posting them on youtube. the old car was a wiring nightmare and in adition to that, the cage wasnt fully welded or nhra certified, so basically it was a death trap so the wreck was a blessing in disguise.

    i bought a roller from the owner of Belfab here in Vegas. the front end is already tubed, with nothing but frame rails and coilovers. it has a fiberglass front end and a stripped down interior. Nothing but a 8.5 second cage and a steering wheel.

    specs:
    331ci sbf
    twin S366 turbos
    aod trans (ya its a "street" car)
    8.8 rear end

    the goal is to run mid to low 8s while being able to drive to and from the track as well as drive it to shows and meetups.

    Here are the links to a few of the videos I have made so far. Videos will be loaded as progress is made

    helpful criticism is always welcome, you guys have helped a lot on my past builds. there are earlier videos in this build series on my youtube channel that show the old car being dismantled if you are interested in looking that up

    Since I don't watch or follow video builds, I vote for pictures and write ups. Sounds like a cool build.

    Cool build!

    For advice, I hate to come in after you've finished, but..... You can get these Bussman fuse/relay boxes that are smaller than your fuse holder and would have saved you about a million time and efforts. I'd go back and put one of those in.

    I'll try and post some pics but I dont have a photobucket account anymore so I'll have to find a new way.

    Disney Lincoln, do you have a link to what specifically you are talking about? I did a search and a ton of different things came up. But to be honest, I have never wired a car to this extent and despite being a learning curve, I've enjoyed it.

    It is big and does need a washer. I was in a rush to test out the wiring and needed a quick ground. It has a washer now even tho it worked without a washer.

    The shop that's doing my cold side piping for me because I cant weld aluminum sent me a pic of their mock up

    Here is the progress video I posted today

    Something like this: https://www.waytekwire.com/item/46345/EATON-s-Bussmann-Series-15305-5-2-4-RTMR-Mini-Fuse/

    They make them in all sorts of confirgurations where you can mount all your relays and fuses in one panel. People out there will customize them for your needs so you can just buy it already terminated and just connect your wires.
