    Nice work. The only problem I see is the orange engine. Ever thought about going with a nice Blue instead? :rolleyes:

    Cool stuff, I've never seen an electric exhaust cutout. Out of curiousity,
    why make it electric? Would you only use it when you drag race or is this
    something you would use on the street?

    Just a suggestion but is there any way you could shorten the purple and
    green wires that are running to your ignition? It looks like you made a big
    coil of extra wire which wasn't used.

    Anyhow nice work.. I wish my engine was stroked to a 347. I love shopping
    for car parts... my nightstand right now is weighed down by the likes of
    Summit, PAW, TIP, Harbor Freight Tools, Craftsman, etc.

    the cutouts aren't for interior sound?? I was pretty happy with my 78 Cobra when I found out that the exhaust was louder at 70mph than the stereo was at full blast, hehe. Whats the little box on the side of your inner fender??

    The exhaust cutouts are great for stoplights, if some little honda wants to try to get a piece I just flip a switch and the cutouts will point out the side of the car right in their ear and they'll think twice about gettin a piece.

    The extra coil of wires is for the distributor on the engine, so they will be getting used.

    My nightstand and coffee table has backissues of jegs and summit. lol

    The bracket and box on the side of the inner fender is for the fuse block. Painless makes no bracket and cover for their fuse block so I had to make one out of plexiglass to keep all the moisture out. here's a pic of the wiring harness.
