definitely doesnt look like a let-down project to me... look how clean everything is! one trick that really helps is any hoses or rubber parts like the boots for wiring connections that you are reusing, even if they look clean, rubbing them kinda hard with a rag wet with PB Blaster will make them look like fresh new rubber 
id like to see a pic of where you got the fusebox to sit too. its something you can always come back to, doing a huge project like this u gotta skip over a few things until later. perhaps a metal plate cut and bent to provide a place to bolt the fusebox to? or does it just not reach where you wanted it to?
and sounds like you have some plans for underneath too, eh
makes you feel bad driving such a nice clean motor on top of a suspension thats falling apart...

Larry-I dont have pic if it, but ill take one on monday. Its not a A+ job like i would like. I let myself down on this 
, becasue it dosent sit up like i planned it to, and i have it tied upside down by zip ties. In order for me to get it how i wanted it to, i would have needed to cut in solider, which is something i didnt do at all for this project. The only think i soldiered, was the reverse plugs, the water temp sensor plugs, and i extended the CEL plug so i can have it as a switch next to me e-brake.
It feels good to be home and showered and clean
. I havent been home since Wednesday afternoon.
Im gonna make a list of what I have left to do(Ill be adding as a I remember:
Bleed Brakes
Torque Axle Buts
Check Torque on Crank
Bolt in Exhaust
Install Intake
Add Windsheild washer Cover
Rattle Can Fenders/Hood
Install Dash w/Accessories
Audio Install
Interior
But ya, All my bushings and Ball Joints are shot. The sway bar bushings all all cracked and torn. Both my lower Ball joints rubbers are slightly ripped, but still solid. My Upper Ball joints are complete shit. They are ripped all around, the bottom half of the rubber fell a couple times, and there is a lot of play. Spring time cant come soon enough.

. It dosent look too pretty though. 
. I did not bad on the practice metal, but the exhaust piping was pretty thin, so i get on burning holes. I grinded it down to make sure there is no holes, and the welded again on top of it. 
, Getting an awomse deal without supporting Ebays rediculous fees = 
While teh drive was a bit excessive, This clothing outlet center was on the way, so i got some awesome deals on some clothes which made it even better for me 
. The only way i can counter that is get a rubber hanger thats shorter, and in turn bring it closer up tot he body
