the seabelts mount in the back where the stock back seat belts bolted to and the roll bar was just 2 peices of muffler pipe i had bent and then welded 2 muffler flanges to the bottom of them and then sat into the car, they actually did not bolt into the car they were held with some hidden latches behind them that bolted to my back speaker box, i have them but dont use them anymore.

ok so i did some more work to the car today, some little things but they make a difernece,  first i fixed my windsheild wiper motor so now my wiper blades dont stop mid eye sight, what a relief, then i changed my tstat and here are before and after pics for Rocketman

 
before after driving for about 30 minutes
 
after, after driving for 30 minutes, now my car runs a little better and seems to be running more lean at idle/cruise maybe ill have better fuel now HAHA

i got around to also doing my rear speakers there now in i dont have a pic of the speakers in but i will soon, here is a comparison of the door speakers and the rear speakers

 
rear(right) is an 8" midbass woofer door speaker (left) is a 7" midrange speaker

i also am working on getting rid of my hood rattle and cleaning her up a bit with some sound deadner ( good up to 500 degrees ambient heat)

 

also painting the hood clip (or what ever its called)

 
paint is 500 degree engine enamal then will coat with a clear lacquer so it should be able to hold up to the use of the latch.

and thats all she wrote

ok got the hood done and HOLY #@$! it sounds like a brand new car!!! i used silicon for the seams, sound deadner for the hood area and then filled the braces with exspading foam, it added probably 2 lbs to he hood so it doesnt make a difference in weight but it sounds AMAZING !!!

 

and here a vid
 

also i got a chance to take a picture of my wire up front

 
thats 0AWG welding wire one goes to the back where the battery is the other is connected to the alternator and then the third wire goes to the second distributor block

 
both blocks and the wire

 
thats 0AWG from the other block and 2 4AWG wire one goes to the fuse panel and the other goes to the starter, everything is welded and heat shrunk for best results, i dont have a picture of the grounds but on the Passenger side i have a 0AWG ground from strut mount to engine block and on driver side i have a 2/0 AWG wire going from frame to tranny case.

I like the gauge placement. I went lower just above the ash tray. I probably would've gone your route & got rid of the stupid cup holders. Nice job

Maybe I'll pick one up at the junkyard sometime. I don't know your set up but the first time I was looking at your pictures I noticed the plastic vacuum line going to the drivers side on intake. Is that for your boost gauge? I was told to run mine to the passenger side nipple vac hose. If it is the for the boost was wondering if it makes a difference. Mine reads correct on vac & boost. Thanks, Rob

Any nipple on the plenum will work correctly, except for the one or two on top that go to the distributor.

The pass side works well because a lot of people disconnect the boost cut switch, opening up room

Thanks Russ, but I'm lucky enough to have a couple cars @ the local yard to scrap off. Ones even the same goofy green as mine. I've only seen two driving, a black & grey one so there's not much competition either. I need to sell a few on eBay. Got my original ECU if anybody needs one. Remember it's my driver so I had to go junkyarding to send mine to Rocketman. Theres another ECU @ the yard now also ssoooo?thanks though, I always know you have what I might need. Rob
