I'm pretty sure I'm free that Saturday, I'll have to double check when I get home.

Brad, from what I've seen, the ABS relocation isn't that big of a deal. If Beast and Digitalwhatever come down it should be a piece of cake. It all depends on engine, mods, and everything else as you well know.
Pez harness?

Retirement at last. Wife's not happy, I bought a '66 Rustang instead of paying off my F150.

This should make for a fun DD once completed. Did you ever swap that e36 vert? I'd love an Avus or Estoril blue LSX M3 vert with black vader seats. The suspension on the e36 seems to require the most maintenance. Check out this link for some of the potential issues:

Cleaned out the shop this evening to start working on the car. Tomorrow the engine bay gets a bath and ABS relocation.

Hope I have that ready for SNS! It is going to be tight...

Spent most of the day working on the ABS and removing all of the old brackets. Big thanks to Ebush for helping out.

Depinned the engine harness and got rid of all the emission junk along with rerouting the CPS for the LS3.
Brake lines are done.
Finished fuel supply with new hard lines back to the tank and corvette FPR.
Eric came by again today and helped me bang all this out.
