I figured you and a few others might have been liking the idea of "test driving" the car. When JBP said they picked me up a "Viper", I said "you bought me another car" 
Apaparently, this alarm does everything, including paging me when someone even looks at the car funny.

@victory_red_SS - It's always nice to get some new parts in. And like I said before this is gonna be a nasty "kinda" sleeper, and the Turbo is damn near as big as the motor....

More pictures of odds & ends.....
Here are some more parts for the car.
The turbo header (not finished)
The exhaust manifold.
Small turbo plumbing.
Drysump setup.
Copper gaskets for turbo flanges (plus extra's)
Theses boxes aren't much to look at but the contents took a lifetime to receive.
Stereo equipment, and yes I know it's Kenwood but this is a "GO" car not a "show" car.
And for those of us that don't like wiring, this is just plain scary.

The password would be a little harder to get around, but the paging system is an easy day. Damn it all looks good buddy. The fabrication looks like it's coming along quite well.

I know and once it is finished and coated it will be even sexier.
My car has an onboard computer, which runs both DOS and Windows.
There will be a wireless keyboard built into the car, for typing in the password as well as for use with the standalone fuel management computer (standalone runs in windows)
Rod, I don't always need explosives to get into something. We are taught other techniques as well and have a different set of tools for that since hands on approaches still have their place. Like collar bombs, I simply can't just shoot the bastard that has it strapped to them. The password would be a little harder to get around, but the paging system is an easy day.

I highly doubt anyone will be able to use the trick I have up my sleeve. That Viper system should do the trick quite well though to deter the avearage car theif. Don't worry Rod I will never steal a car and you live too far away anyhow! If I ever do get to see it, I would just like a ride because it is going to be awesome!

That is why I am paying someone to do that. The aggravation of that wiring mess can drive a person crazy and as the wife tells me, in my case that would be a very short drive.

Besides, it will likely be when I get back to the hotel before I can post them. Just make it an early movie/dinner.
