Sooooo close to getting the car going :)

I'm getting so close to getting the car running I can almost taste it
Just ordered a couple Delco AFS 74 O2 sensors last week and I found the Motormite weatherpack connector for it at Pepboys.
Next I need to finish the oil cooler...I need to decide what size from B&M and then buy some 1/2" hose for it and mount that up. After that I should locktite everything on the suspension, fill the fluids, and get the exhaust piping completed......
It's so frustrating now that the holidays are here and there's soooo much other stuff going on that I don't know what kind of time I will have to knock some of this out.....

Anyone else close to getting their cars done???

There are very few cars you can call "done". So much stuff unfortunately gets in the way. Goodluck on firing her up
