Here's a few pictures. Hard to get the whole car in one shot. I have small garage syndrome and way too much crap in there.

Spent the day trying to get her started. After some trial and error I have fuel, spark, and air but she won't fire off. I'll get back out tomorrow after work and go over the wiring again. Also, I'm going to double check the tune.

I will check fuel pressure when I go back out tonight. I just want to hear this thing run so bad. It's so close to being drivable.

Couldn't get a pressure gauge on it tonight but it lit off with some starter spray after I went through the tune again and turned off everything not needed this time. I have a feeling the injectors aren't pulsing though. I need a noid light.

Just as I thought, no injector pulse. No injector power at all actually. Turns out when you give something power, it works a lot better. After I realized I didn't hook up the injector power it was easy. I gave them ignition voltage and it fired right up. I'm going to start hooking up everything for good and get the cooling system in there so I can do some fine tuning.
Things left on the list:
-secure fuel and brake lines
-insulate top of gas tank
-fill rear diff
-fill trans
-get drive shaft made
-build trans crossmember
-mount seats in front
-get some type of gauges
-final wire everything
-quick spray the whole car with plastidip
I think that's it to get me by till after the wedding.

Finished sorting the wiring out. Going to be putting the front end back on soon. A new video sometime this week of it actually running on it's own to come. Might even put on the xpipe and magnaflows so it doesn't sound like poop.

Here is a much better video. Now that I got the tune all set up and the fuel pump working how it should it runs much smoother. I have my radiator hooked up but not my fans so I'm still not running it very long yet. I think it sounds bad ass though.

Damn I can't believe it's been over two years since I last updated this thread. Life after marriage is crazy busy it seems and now were trying for a kid. I am getting back out there to work on it though. I have made little progress in the last couple years. I do have a driveshaft in the car now, rear diff is filled, trans is filled, engine is ready to go. Still need to finish up the brake lines and secure them to the frame, secure fuel lines to the frame, insulate the top of the gas tank so it's not hitting the body as well as the tank straps, I need to buy a radiator as the stock one is too wide and tall to fit in the factory Buick spot and ofcourse patch the floors and get some seat in. I do have my crossmember almost finished. I made myself rather than buy one really just to get comfortable with my welder. So I'll be out in the garage all weekend this weekend trying to get stuff done. Once it's driving I'll be much happier about the situation.
